Suffolk holiday cabins named among best places to stay in UK

In a list put together by The Times, just 25 places across the UK were named by the national newspaper.

In Suffolk, Farmstead Lodges, in Easton, near Woodbridge, made the list and was praised for its stunning design and rural setting.

The Times said: "Constructed inside and out from the kind of pale, sandy-toned timber planks you can tell someone's spent hours sanding to perfection, the eight sophisticated Farmstead Lodges marry fashionable pared-back style with an idyllic farmland setting.

"On the edge of Easton Village, the lodges were launched last year by the owners of a neighbouring wedding venue.

"Wander across fields and woodlands to local pubs or relax by the wood-burner, which sits in a cool emerald green metro-tiled nook.

"Deep copper baths and wooden rocking chairs add luxury to the cabins, which sleep two, four or five (one is wheelchair accessible), and they have outdoor baths and barbecues (of course they do)."

The business was set up by Ali and Sian Kerr who already run a wedding venue business at Low Farm in Easton, near Woodbridge - an 850-acre arable operation which was once a dairy farm.

Speaking to this newspaper in February, Sian said: "They have turned out exactly as I wanted them to in my head - I'm just really chuffed with them".

On arrival, guests are greeted with a welcome pack of local produce, including freshly-baked sourdough bread from Wakelyns bakery in Fressingfield and locally-churned Bungay butter.

Among the attractions for guests on the farm are its footpaths, stunning views and wild flower meadows.
