Key Highlights

Yoga Classes

Setting up by the heated pool at sunrise with open farmland on all sides is one of those simple things that turns out to be a genuine highlight of the whole trip. For something more structured, a local yoga teacher can come to the Events Barn and lead a private class at your level. If slow mornings and restorative sessions like this are what you're after, our Holistic Wellness escapes follow the same idea in other destinations too.

Private Dining

A private chef can cook in your property or at a spot on the farm, covering everything from a laid-back pizza night to a four-course dinner built around the occasion and the group. The menu gets shaped around what you want, so the evening feels right for the moment rather than one-size-fits-all. Share what sounds good, and the team takes care of the rest.

Special Occasions

Restaries is a natural fit for birthdays, anniversaries, surprise engagements, and reunions that deserve more than a restaurant booking can offer. The team puts together something personal based on exactly what you have in mind, from a secluded picnic set up in a quiet corner of the farm to sundowner drinks on a private deck as the light fades over the fields. Nothing here feels off the shelf, because it is not.

Wine Order and Delivery

A sommelier can help pick the right bottles ahead of arrival based on your tastes, so the wine is already waiting in your property at check-in. Access to the on-site wine cellar is included for the full duration of the stay. Private tastings and personalized recommendations can also be arranged, creating a more intimate and elevated wine experience.

Beauty Services

Massages, facials, and reflexology can be arranged in your room at any point during the stay, so a slow afternoon has something real to show for it. The team sorts out the timing around your day so it fits without any effort on your end. Proper rest, on your terms. Everything is set up to feel calm, private, and completely unhurried.

Watersports

The proximity to the Norfolk Broads and the Suffolk coast opens up a good range of water activities, including boat trips, paddleboarding, and kayaking, all available for different ages and experience levels. For a solo morning on the water or a full group activity, the team can put the right arrangement together based on your numbers and schedule. Just share the details, and it gets sorted.

Horse Riding

Coastal treks and riding lessons are available for all levels, from first-timers to riders who want a proper stretch along the Suffolk coast. The team matches the session to the group and the time available. Experienced instructors are on hand throughout, offering guidance and support while allowing guests to enjoy the landscape at their own pace.

More about this escape

Six individually designed holiday properties spread across the farm, each restored with original furnishings, locally made artwork, and a look that feels nothing like a standard rental. Kune Kune pigs, pygmy goats, alpacas, donkeys, Valais Black Nose sheep, and free-roaming chickens share the land with you, and a morning spent with them tends to be one of the unexpected highlights of the stay. Private yoga classes, woodland spa sessions, in-room beauty treatments, and chef-cooked dinners can all be arranged so the trip takes the shape you actually want it to. Founders Gem and Thom built this place on the belief that a great stay should feel personal and properly looked after. Every product on the farm, from the food to the wine to the artwork on the walls, has been chosen to back that up.

Itinerary

Day 1: Settling In Properly

Check-in opens at 4 pm, and the change in pace starts almost the moment you walk through the door. A massage or facial can be arranged for early evening to help shake off whatever the week left behind, and supper arrives as an in-room hamper packed with locally sourced ingredients, including seasonal vegetables, potatoes, and salmon en croute, alongside a bottle from Flint Vineyard. Quiet, comfortable, and exactly the kind of first night a good trip deserves. There is nowhere to be and nothing to do, which is the whole point.

Meals: Supper hamper

Activities: Welcome massage or facial

Day 2: The One You Will Talk About After

Morning starts with a Black Dog Deli breakfast hamper and freshly laid eggs from the farm's Burford Brown hens, which is as good a way to open a day as it sounds. A few lengths in the heated pool lead into a time out in the field with the alpacas and miniature donkeys, followed by a private yoga class that takes place late morning. Exclusive use of the woodland spa for one hour opens up the afternoon, with a sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge sitting quietly in the trees waiting for you. Fish and chips at Sole Bay Fish Company by Southwold Harbor make for a proper coastal dinner, and the night ends back at the farm with Gozney pizzas, cocktails under the stars, and a hot tub dip before bed.

Meals: Breakfast hamper, fish and chips, farm pizza dinner

Activities: Pool swim, farm animal visit, private yoga, woodland spa

Day 3: A Slow Exit

The final morning runs at whatever pace feels right, with time for a last walk around the farm and a proper goodbye to the animals before the 10 am checkout. You leave well rested, well fed, and already thinking about coming back.

Meals: N/A

Activities: Farm walk before departure

About your stay

Restaries

Cox Common, Halesworth, Suffolk, United Kingdom

Restaries is a farm stay where beautifully restored properties sit on a 10-acre working farm, with open fields, a heated pool, a woodland spa, and animals that roam the land around you. Every stay can be shaped into something completely different depending on the group, the occasion, and what kind of time away is needed most. Come for the rest, stay for the alpacas.

Your Accommodation

Six individually designed properties spread across the farm sleep anywhere from two to twelve guests, all with fully equipped kitchens, Gozney pizza ovens, outdoor fire setups, and underfloor heating running year-round. Original beams, restored interiors, handcrafted furniture, and locally made artwork give each property its own distinct character, so no two feel the same. The Gate House is a one-bedroom retreat for two with a roll-top bath and a wood-burning hot tub looking out over the alpacas, and the Cart Lodge sleeps four adults and two children with a Japanese soaking bath beside a terrace by the pool. For larger groups, the Farm House takes up to twenty six guests plus kids across three floors with an Aga, multiple log fires, and dining tables that seat fifteen outside. The Log Store and Tack Room round out the collection as one-bedroom options, each with a Japanese soaking bath and a rainfall shower.
