The Haywain, Flatford

Escape to the peaceful beauty of Constable Country and experience an unforgettable stay at The Haywain, a modern eco lodge set amidst the breathtaking Suffolk countryside. Nestled within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this stylish two-bedroom retreat blends contemporary comfort with sustainable living, offering the perfect setting for relaxation and exploration.

As you enter, you’ll be welcomed by a bright, open-plan living space where natural light pours in through large bi-folding doors, framing stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

The master bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed with soft linens and plush pillows, ensuring a peaceful night’s rest. The second bedroom is equally charming, with twin beds that can be converted into a king-size if needed—ideal for friends, families, or children. Both rooms are thoughtfully designed to provide a calming atmosphere to unwind and recharge.

The sleek, fully-equipped kitchen invites you to create delicious meals using local and organic ingredients, which you can enjoy in the dining area or take outside to the private terrace for an alfresco experience. On warm evenings, sip your favourite drink under the wide Suffolk sky, or settle into the spacious living room for a cosy night in.

With a wood burner and a comfortable sofa, it’s the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. As part of a dark skies area, the location offers remarkable stargazing opportunities on clear nights, and recently, there’s been an uptick in Northern Lights sightings—truly a sight to behold.

While The Haywain offers a peaceful sanctuary, there’s plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. The picturesque village of Dedham is just a short drive away, offering charming streets, historic buildings, and a lively local culture. For a dose of history, visit Flatford Mill, where you can walk in the footsteps of the famous artist John Constable and take in the very landscapes that inspired his iconic paintings.

Nature lovers will appreciate the scenic walking and cycling trails through Dedham Vale, with its stunning river views and abundant wildlife. For a more challenging trek, the Stour Valley Path offers beautiful routes along the riverbanks.

Whether you’re seeking a quiet escape to enjoy the tranquility of nature or an adventure through the beauty and history of Suffolk, The Haywain offers the best of both worlds. Immerse yourself in comfort, sustainability, and luxury, and create unforgettable memories in this idyllic corner of England.
