The Butterchurn, a luxurious designed and furnished lodge for couples | Kabine in Cratfield

A luxuriously designed and furnished lodge for couples, offering the chance to unwind and enjoy the beautiful, natural surroundings. Whether you want to cosy up beside the woodburning stove, soak in the wood fired hot tub, or simply watch the sky at night through the star gazing window, here is the chance to get away from every day stress and just relax. The Butterchurn is part of The Firs Suffolk, a stunning renovated farm offering luxurious stable and dairy building conversions, close to Halesworth and Southwold.
A meticulously designed lodge, fully equipped with your comfort in mind. The kitchen includes Nespresso coffee machine, stovetop kettle and electric oven. Enjoy your breakfast inside with views looking over the garden and hot tub, or out on the sun-drenched patio. Comfortable sofas allow you to read the books provided, or play board games in front of your ESSE wood burning stove. You may wish to book a private sauna session on-site, or take a cold plunge. If you can bear to leave this tranquil, idyllic space, there’s plenty to do, see and explore close by.
Maybe huddle beside your firepit BBQ, enchanted by the flames, toasting marshmallows, watching the birds swoop and dive at dusk. Inside your lodge, you can lounge with the double aspect french doors wide open, curled up by the wood burning stove; the crackle of the fire interrupted by calling pheasants and owls hooting in the woodland beyond. The luxurious cashmere Hypnos mattress on your king-size bed, sumptuous pillows and bed linens guarantee a deep slumber.
The Firs is a collection of luxuriously renovated lodges and glamping tents set in 4-acres of beautiful grounds. Each lodge has been furnished with their own individual style, open sun decks and garden spaces and personal hot tub. Set amongst 4 acres of stunning grounds, this is the idyllic choice for romantic breaks, or larger groups wishing to stay separately.
The Firs Suffolk is in a dark skies area, light pollution is extremely low, which makes for special times surveying the skies from your private soaking tub, beside your firepit or gazing up from your bed through the skylight above, counting the shooting stars.
No matter the season, there’s a wealth of open space and fresh air available in the picturesque grounds and meadows. This is a great choice for couple’s getaways, family reunions, and friends gathering for celebrations. We wholeheartedly recommend The Firs Suffolk for stressed-out city employees and those seeking restoration, quiet, and wildlife. The lodges provide everything you need to get away from it all. The positive decision to not have televisions, but to instead provide free WiFi throughout, enables guests to be connected should they choose and creates an excellent opportunity for the perfect work from home environment, within beautiful, natural surroundings.
Beyond your lodge, there’s an on-site sauna at The Piggery Spa, available for private 2-hour hire, for a small additional charge. The spa facilities include sauna, external hot shower and plunge bucket, inside showering and changing facilities, relaxation area, tea making facilities and filtered water. Plastic glasses are provided.
You can hire bicycles, wander in the woods, play boules on the petanque pitch, relax by the pond, seasonally alive with damsels, dragonflies and butterflies or borrow a map and set out to explore the fields and footpaths nearby. There’s a gorgeous rustic fairy lit space for outdoor dining with a large woodfired pizza oven, huge firepit BBQ with an asada, outdoor kitchen, fridge and freezer, and enough tables and chairs to accommodate all guests. The site also benefits from a shared utility area called The Boot Room, with washing machine, tumble dryer and microwave.
Just beyond The Firs Suffolk are the lovely nearby towns of Halesworth, Harleston, Framlingham, Southwold and Aldeburgh with so much more to do, see and experience. See our ‘Location’ information for more details on lovely hidden gems to eat, drink and explore.
