    “Our 3 night break at Utopia was wonderful!”

    This lovely, clean shepherd’s hut is packed with all the facilities for a luxury stay… a big comfy bed, sofa, fridge, oven, hob, shower, fluffy towels… but for my husband and I, the best part was being able to have the double doors open onto the private garden and drink coffee in the countryside! Utopia proved to be the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life. I hope next time we come, it’ll be cold enough to use the wood burning stove!

    Thank you Hollie for your great review. I look forward to seeing you again when you can enjoy the warmth of the wood burner for a cosy winter stay. Best wishes Diana Property Owner

The property

This beautifully crafted luxurious Shepherds Hut is positioned in complete privacy within a secluded setting, with the birds singing around you. You'll be sure to be amazed as you walk into the grounds with a large grassed area with topiary balls, water feature and areas to sit and enjoy the Suffolk sunshine. The location is ideal for walkers or cyclists looking to enjoy the Suffolk Countryside and coastal positions. There is a footpath located directly from the property. Wooden steps lead up into the spacious shepherds hut accommodating two guests, with living/dining/bedroom area, and a separate shower room. No expense has been spared with this luxurious holiday home, with beautiful oak flooring throughout, Quartz kitchen worktops, antique furnishings and Emma Bridgewater tablewear. The landscape surrounding the hut is delightful, and you can enjoy this by dining alfresco and making use of the BBQ. Metfield is a small village within Suffolk, located just a few miles from the Norfolk border. It is a perfect location that visitors get the best of both worlds: rolling countryside ready to be explored with hikes, walks and cycle rides aplenty and within a few miles, the breath-takingly beautiful coastline of the East Suffolk Heritage Coast. Towns on the coast worth visiting include Southwold and Aldeburgh. Check out market towns such as Diss, Halesworth and Woodbridge with attractions worth visiting including Framlingham Castle, Yoxford Antiques Centre and Gardens, Sutton Hoo, Somerleyton Hall and RSPB Minsmere. For a holiday packed full of happy memories, make sure you book a stay at Utopia.
