The cosy open-plan living area is thoughtfully furnished with classic touches and soft lighting, making it the perfect place to relax after a day exploring the Suffolk countryside. An equipped kitchenette and dining area provide everything you need for relaxed meals, while the comfortable double bed offers a serene place to rest. At the very far end of the carriage is the compact bathroom complete with a sink, toilet and shower.

Outside, your private decked area invites slow mornings and peaceful evenings surrounded by nature. The highlight is the Scandinavian hot tub, perfectly positioned for soaking under the stars. With views across open fields, birdsong drifting through the air, it’s a romantic haven of rural calm where you can truly switch off.
The setting, just outside the beautiful medieval town of Lavenham, makes this an idyllic base for exploring the region. The area is rich in scenic footpaths, wildlife, and traditional villages. Nearby nature reserves and woodland trails invite long walks, cycling routes, and peaceful picnics surrounded by unspoilt Constable Country landscape.
A short drive brings you to the historic wool towns of Lavenham, Long Melford, and Bury St Edmunds, where medieval streets, timber-framed buildings, boutique shops, and award-winning pubs and restaurants await.

Explore Lavenham’s famous Guildhall, wander through charming Lanes, or enjoy locally sourced food in cosy Suffolk inns. The region is also home to vineyards, farm shops, and quiet countryside churches, offering endless opportunities for slow exploration.
For those who love heritage, the area is dotted with National Trust properties, ancient market squares, and hidden architectural gems. Meanwhile, the Suffolk coast, with its big skies, shingle beaches, and seaside towns is within easy reach for a day trip.
