About this property
Tucked away amongst the rolling countryside of Suffolk’s beautiful Shotley Peninsula, The Buttery is an intimate retreat for two, perfectly suited to a romantic countryside escape. Once part of the working farm, this characterful former farm building has been thoughtfully converted, pairing its rural heritage with contemporary interiors and modern comforts to create a charming hideaway between the River Orwell and River Stour.
Step inside to a cosy open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, providing everything needed for an easy and relaxing stay. Cook dinner together before settling in for a quiet evening, or open the door to your private patio and enjoy a morning coffee surrounded by the peace of the Suffolk countryside. Upstairs, the mezzanine bedroom creates a wonderfully cosy retreat, with a double bed beneath the characterful roofline and its own en-suite walk-in shower room. Simple, comfortable and thoughtfully designed, The Buttery is made for slowing down and enjoying time together.
Outside, your private patio offers a peaceful spot for two, while guests can also enjoy Lodge Farm's shared tennis court. Scenic walks, cycling routes and the waterways of the Shotley Peninsula are all within easy reach, making it just as tempting to head out and explore as it is to stay tucked away. Set along a quiet private track, The Buttery feels wonderfully secluded yet is just four miles from Ipswich and less than a ten-minute drive from the renowned Suffolk Food Hall. Whether escaping for a weekend together, exploring the Suffolk countryside or simply looking for somewhere peaceful to switch off, The Buttery is a charming little hideaway for two.
For larger gatherings, The Dairy can be booked alongside the adjoining Buttery and Parlour to form Lodge Farm, sleeping up to 12 guests. Interconnecting soundproofed doors allow the three cottages to be brought together while retaining the privacy of each individual property, making it particularly well suited to extended families and groups of friends.

Peaceful hideaway with amazing rural views. The Buttery was perfect for the short, away-from-it-all break I was looking for... and the views over fields and woods were wonderful. The cottage (one of three rental properties) is a great mix of clean modern design and rustic charm, and while it's set on a working farm, it's very quiet. I enjoyed my morning chats - tea in hand - with the cows in the paddock around the corner!

Lovely surroundings being on the farm. Comfortable contemporary holiday let with delicious bread and eggs on arrival. We were a couple staying in the Buttery, but ideal for families if staying in either of the 2 larger properties (or can combine all 3).
