(1)

Crafter's Retreat is nestled cosily in its own, self-contained private garden extending to around a quarter of an acre. Despite its seclusion and privacy, this secret gem is ideally placed for those seeking to explore East Anglia with its pretty coastline; and local amenities are also just a stone's throw away.

​Crafter's Retreat is so named because it's located behind our self-contained gardens and studios where we offer private 1-2-1 pottery and woodturning experiences. This peaceful location is perfect for getting those creative juices flowing, and we've even equipped the cabin with an easel for those who might want to paint or sketch in the garden. After parking in the large private carpark, take the path that leads to your secluded retreat. The path and access to the cabin are suitable for wheelchair users. You are greeted by a welcoming, pretty veranda where you'll find a large, inviting hydrotherapy spa (hot tub) and patio furniture - simply perfect for al fresco dining. From the moment you walk through the wide double entrance doors, you'll feel our special Crafter's Retreat hospitality. The open-plan living space offers comfy furniture and a large flat screen TV on the right, while you'll find a spacious dining area on the left.

​The well-equipped kitchen, including dishwasher, washing machine, electric oven & hob, microwave etc., provides all the appliances and home comforts you could need for a lovely home-cooked meal. A large, cosy bedroom with king-size bed, full-length mirror, dressing table and plenty of storage space for clothes is located towards the rear of the cabin alongside a modern bathroom that includes a double shower and heated towel rail. The cabin also boasts free WiFi, Broadband, a selection of books, board games and art supplies too. Outside, you are invited to enjoy your own private Victorian-style knot garden and a little "woodlet". There's ample space to use the provided sun loungers, and you can even toast marshmallows in the fire pit.

Deacon & Georgia enjoyed their first stay in our relaxing Crafter's Retreat.

“Absolutely beautiful place. Definitely did not disappoint. Gorgeous, peaceful garden! Loved the vibe of the hot tub and fairy lights on the veranda at night time. The kitchen had a lot of appliances, and the bed was sooo comfortable! Louise was very helpful and responsive when I was to message her, which was lovely. Felt very at home there and undisturbed. We had a wonderful time! Thank you ###”

Close the gate to your own secluded 1/4-acre patch of relaxation, turn the corner and you're greeted by private gardens bursting with seasonal colour & mature trees, your non-overlooked luxury hot tub bubbling on the covered veranda, and a little "woodlet" - take a step into peace and tranquility 🥰⁠

Here at Crafter's Retreat, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail, and ensuring that all of our guests have a relaxed and wonderful stay.

Nitasha & Daniel celebrated their minimoon with us. We're so pleased they enjoyed their peaceful stay:

“Thank you for a wonderful stay; this was our minimoon and we have loved it. The cabin has everything you can think of; it is peaceful and very private. We have loved using the hot tub and sitting on the veranda. We also appreciated your beach recommendations and managed to go on a lovely sunny day! Communication was great too.”

“We had our honeymoon here and it was the most beautiful accommodation, very private and peaceful. Louise and Simon were great hosts were very attentive. Spent a lot of time sat on the veranda and in the hot tub.” AirBnB review
