A countryside hideaway, you say, where communing with nature can be combined with spa sessions and pre-dinner cocktails? Retreat East should fit the bill; a cluster of handsome, oak-timbered barns off a leafy, sat-nav-averse country lane (keep an eye out for the sign). The barns – a mix of beamed originals and new-builds – are quietly luxurious, edged by charming courtyards and verandas overlooking the fields. Most have a kitchen, though you may not spend much time there; the restaurant’s a showcase for some of Suffolk’s finest suppliers, along with produce from the bountiful kitchen gardens.  

  

Retreat East is set in rural Suffolk, on a cow parsley-lined country lane. Ipswich is 20 minutes by car, and the coast is within driving distance for jaunts to Southwold and Aldeburgh.
