We’ve always loved sharing top tips to make your stay memorable, but now we’ve gathered loads of our favourite ideas all in one place. The Bucket List is your go-to guide for brilliant day-out itineraries, crafted by us because we know Suffolk like the back of our hands.

Why a 3-Night Weekend Makes More Sense Than 2

We hear it all the time – guests saying they wish they’d booked an extra night. A 3-night weekend not only gives you more time to relax but also works out better value, with a lower cost per night. Plus, it means you can enjoy your Sunday without rushing home. Put your feet up in your Barn or Barge, let the world wait, and savour that extra slice of Suffolk.

Our 4-Night Midweek Break? Even Better Value!

With a fresh Bucket List every month, you can mix and match your adventures. If you’re here for a 4-night midweek break, you’ve got time to chill out in your Barn or Barge for a day, or dip into ideas from other lists. It’s all about making your break exactly how you want it.
