“A private cabin near a lake and wildflower meadows, with an award-winning vineyard and restaurant across the estate”
Tucked beside the lake and among wildflower meadows, this cabin sits on the Wyken Estate - 1,200 acres of Suffolk farmland that has a conservation focus, and is now home to an award-winning vineyard, restaurant and RHS Partner Garden.
The Leaping Hare, Wyken's restaurant is found only a few minutes walk away in a 400-year-old barn, has been in the Michelin guide for over 20 years and is a pioneer of the farm-to-fork movement. There's a thoughtfully curated country store for something to take home, a weekly farmers' market on site, and a calendar full of events including art exhibitions, open air theatre, and supper clubs. Walk further for The Dun Cow at Bardwell, an old village pub, or head into Bury St Edmunds, just a short drive away.
It's the kind of spot where you spend the morning walking the vines and foraging in the ancient woodland, and the evening by the fire with a glass of something grown just across the estate, while watching barn owls hunt over the meadows that surround you.
