Elegant private estate near Woodbridge offering multiple houses, a spa-style leisure complex and glorious Suffolk countryside.
Martley Hall Estate is the kind of place that makes an immediate impression. Set within rolling Suffolk parkland near Woodbridge, this grand yet welcoming private estate is designed for groups who want to celebrate, reconnect or retreat in style. With a collection of beautifully restored houses and cottages, generous leisure facilities and acres of grounds to explore, it offers a rare sense of space and freedom from the moment you arrive.
The main house is home to six elegant bedrooms, including a standout principal suite, each finished with a refined, country-house feel. For larger groups or those travelling together but valuing their own privacy, the additional guest wings and self-contained cottages are a real highlight. Each cottage comes with its own living space, kitchen and terrace, allowing mornings to start quietly and evenings to come together effortlessly. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a multi-generational gathering, a creative retreat or a corporate escape, the layout makes hosting feel relaxed and natural.
At the heart of the estate sits the leisure complex within the walled garden, a guaranteed favourite with guests of all ages. The heated indoor pool is open year-round, with glass walls looking out across the gardens, while the jacuzzi, infrared sauna and beautifully appointed changing areas give it the feel of a private spa. Upstairs, a spacious games room offers another place to unwind, laugh and spend time together.
Step outside and the estate really opens up. Long afternoons can be spent on the croquet lawn or pétanque courts, firing up the pavilion kitchen for relaxed barbecues or drifting between the many terraces with a drink in hand. Meandering paths lead through the restored walled garden, into the Italian courtyard or on towards the woodland, where a historic folly creates a magical spot for picnics or photos. With tennis courts, a half basketball court and open paddocks, there’s something here for everyone.
Beyond the gates, rural Suffolk offers gentle adventures and timeless charm. Explore the riverside town of Woodbridge with its independent shops, cafes and historic Tide Mill, wander the walking and cycling routes of Sutton Hoo and Rendlesham Forest, or head towards the Suffolk Coast and Heaths for wide skies, nature reserves and unspoilt beaches. Whether you’re craving culture, coast or countryside, Martley Hall Estate puts it all within easy reach.
