"In some ways it’s not quite a hotel, and in others it’s much more. Retreat East is a collection of barns, houses, and huts in the Suffolk countryside, a few miles outside of Ipswich. Some are antique, others modern, but all mix rustic charm and modern luxuries. On the one hand they feel fairly self-sufficient; on the other, they’re supplemented by a restaurant, a spa, and a wealth of wellness and outdoor-focused activities." - Tablet Hotels
