Set in a small village near the picture-perfect market town of Eye in Suffolk, this cosy, seven-bedroom farmhouse exudes luxurious country living. With more warming autumnal colours, fluffy blankets and comfy furnishings than any guest could wish for, we think this home is perfect for crisp Autumn getaways.

Wake up in the morning to soul-stirring birdsong as you enjoy that first cup of coffee, sit down to a hearty breakfast as a family (or group) in the beautifully quaint kitchen before grabbing your walking boots for a country ramble, exploring the nearby villages and towns. In the afternoons, the children can play in the garden while you relax and let the day pass you by in hazy bliss, or try your hand at the piano or pool table. On hot days, we highly recommend making full use of the for-hire hot tub, to cool off and make the most of the rare British sun.
