Highlights

  • Escape to a secluded, handcrafted shepherd’s hut on a peaceful Suffolk fruit farm, with lovely valley views, a pondside setting and woodland all around.
  • Follow the short woodland path and cross the little bridge to your hideaway, leaving the everyday world behind as you disappear into the Suffolk countryside.
  • Sink into your private outdoor bath and enjoy an indulgent soak in the fresh air, listening to the sounds of nature as the light changes across the valley.
  • Spend cosy evenings with the woodburning stove glowing, a book or board game to hand and nowhere you need to be until morning.
  • Cook together in the compact kitchen or head outside to the firepit, where a grill and skillet make alfresco suppers around the flames part of the experience.
  • Sleep soundly in the comfy double bed, surrounded by warm, thoughtfully designed interiors featuring reclaimed materials, tactile finishes and luxurious soft furnishings.
  • Use Russet as your peaceful base for discovering rural Suffolk, returning after a day of walks and exploring to light the fire and enjoy the tranquillity of the farm.

The details

Hidden away on a peaceful Suffolk fruit farm, Russet Hut is a beautifully crafted countryside hideaway where you can soak in an outdoor bath, warm up beside the woodburning stove and gaze across a pond and the surrounding valley. Reached via a short stroll through woodland and over a little bridge, it feels wonderfully tucked away from the outside world, making it just the spot for a romantic escape or a few slow days surrounded by nature.

The hut itself has been thoughtfully designed and handcrafted with sustainability, comfort and character in mind. Reclaimed materials, including Victorian pine, sit alongside locally sourced timber, while the dark Shou Sugi Ban exterior helps the hut blend beautifully into its rural surroundings. Inside, warm tones, soft textiles and carefully chosen details create a cosy, cocooning atmosphere. Curl up beneath the covers of the double bed after a day exploring Suffolk or light the woodburning stove and settle in with one of the books or games provided.

Despite its secluded feel, Russet has everything you need for an easy self-catering stay. The compact kitchen features a dual induction hob, fridge with a small freezer compartment, cafetiere and all the kitchenware, crockery and essentials you need to rustle up breakfast or a simple supper. There’s also a private bathroom with a tilted shower, toiletries and fresh towels, so you can arrive, unpack and immediately settle into holiday mode.

Outside is where Russet really comes into its own. Sink into the outdoor bath and enjoy a long soak surrounded by the sights and sounds of the countryside, whether that means easing into a lazy morning or relaxing as evening settles over the valley. There’s also an outdoor firepit with a grill and skillet, inviting you to cook dinner in the fresh air before sitting beside the flames as darkness falls.

When you fancy venturing beyond your peaceful hideaway, you’ll have the Suffolk countryside waiting to be explored. Head out for scenic walks, discover pretty villages and traditional country pubs or venture further afield to explore Suffolk’s historic market towns and beautiful coast. Then return to your secluded spot on the fruit farm for another fireside evening and a final soak beneath the open sky.
