  • "We enjoyed our stay at the Shepherds hut very much It is so well equipped and comfortable that although the weather turned cold we were warm and cosy inside The owner is easily contactable and happy to ensure we had all we needed including a very nice welcome pack ."

    The hut stands in its own garden and only the sound of birds singing wakes you up .We had a lovely week exploring the area and great meals in the local pubs .I will recommend it to my friends and to anyone who wants to slow down and just take it easy .

  • "After a stressful few months this was just the place to unwind and relax."

    The Shepherds Hut is idyllic. I could Quite happily have stayed forever. The tranquil gardens were the icing on the cake. Such a peaceful location but close enough to Southwold, Framlingham and Halesworth. Our hosts were lovely. We had a lovely welcome basket and a warm Welcome came in a personalised card. I really loved that our privacy was respected, no contact but Diana was there if needed. I cannot recommend UTOPIA highly enough. I would happily return and was so happy with it that I told my daughter all about it and she booked herself a weekend immediately! If you’re looking for a peaceful Break with your own space (I’m sure the garden is a beautiful haven in the summer) this is the place to be! Thank you Diana, we will return!

    Thank you Kim for your wonderful feedback. I know we live in a very special place and it’s a great pleasure to share it with other people, we hope you can come back in summer to experience the wonderful dawn chorus. Best wishes Diana Property Owner

  • "Utopia provides a very well appointed private space where you can relax in pretty much total privacy."

    Andrew and Diana have thought of near enough everything you will need. The garden is an additional great space to unwind. We hope to visit again when we can. Alan and Christine, Cornwall.

  • "We had a magical few days' escape in blissful peace in this luxurious, self-contained Shepherd's Hut."

    Everything had been thought of for our comfort and ease and we were made very welcome, with treats on our arrival and a gentle but unobtrusive offer of further help if we needed any - which we didn't! The hut is beautifully designed right down to tiny artistic details, and with privacy and relaxation in mind. There are lovely walks right out from the door, and the coast is not far. We hope to come back soon!

The location is ideal for walkers or cyclists looking to enjoy the Suffolk Countryside and coastal positions.

There is a footpath located directly from the property.

Wooden steps lead up into the spacious shepherds hut accommodating two guests, with living/dining/bedroom area, and a separate shower room.
