The experience

We are a family located in rural Suffolk. We have a house and property dating back to the 1640's. At one stage it was a local Inn (pub) ! So it’s full of character and history. We are a family of 5, with 3 children. We have ponies, chickens, 2 dog and a cat ! It's a busy life, but we live healthily, enjoying growing our own produce and maintaining a wild ecosystem. Lots of outdoor work and separate house provided. Couple preferred
