Property Information
Let Ipswich Farm House invite you with spacious gardens, roaring log fires, deep comfortable sofas and superbly designed bedrooms and bathrooms which will give you a slice of much needed luxury for your hen party. If you have a larger group, you can book both the House and Cottage which are situated within the same grounds and these sleep up to eighteen guests combined, allowing you to hold a stunning celebration without leaving anyone amiss. Create memories in the spacious patio and garden areas where you can fire up the barbeque on a warm day next to the open pond.
You may also hire the use of a private hot tub to make your stay extra special, and you can take the party outdoors; while the hot tub bubbles away, allow yourself to relax and enjoy a glass of wine with your girls. After long brisk country walks or a trip to the seaside nearby, sink into your luxurious bed after a hot shower. Wake up to an array of invigorating spa treatments provided by our beauticians, and then rejuvenate with a delicious and delectable afternoon tea. Ipswich Farm House gives you the most indulgent fusion of bucolic fixtures and current comforts, just waiting for you to appreciate.
