Luxury Tipi-Willow, log burner, electric blanket

Reconnect with nature at this tranquil, rural, romantic hideaway. A warm welcome to Brick Kiln Farm, a 15 acre smallholding tucked away in a quiet corner of East Suffolk. Home to a small herd of Belted Galloway cattle and a medley of roving wildlife. Situated within 20 minutes of the heritage coast, there is plenty to explore in nearby Aldeburgh, Southwold, Walberswick and Snape. The area is well served for village pubs, cafes, delis, antique shops, the arts, culture and outdoor pursuits. The space Designed around earthy and neutral tones for a pared back zen like mood, the focus of this tipi is the super king size reclaimed solid wood bed, with crisp white bed linen over a cosy feather and down duvet. Two cream boucle mid century style solid wood framed rocking chairs and neutral blanket stitch bordered throws and cushions contribute to a sense of present moment awareness. A glass fronted log burner, natural sheepskin rugs and solid oak coffee table complete the minimalist decor. Indulgent luxury white robes and fluffy cotton towels are provided. Guest access Guests are welcome in the tipi field, the old dairy kitchen, the courtyard within the kitchen complex, the shower and toilets.

Other things to note This is a working farm and guests are asked to be responsible for their own safety. As we are in the country the terrain can be uneven and guests are advised to bring appropriate clothing and footwear. Expect to hear the sounds of farm animals and wildlife, so if you are a light sleeper be prepared! Please respect the wildlife and animals on the farm and be aware that there is electric fencing on site. In the winter, when the days are shorter you may need to bring a torch if you are out walking.
