About this property
Situated in one of Suffolk's prettiest and quaintest villages, Ayres End Studio is a beautifully converted thatched studio, the perfect place for a romantic retreat, a relaxing break or an indulgent base from which to explore the local area, all just two minutes’ walk from the village pub.
The large open-plan studio has been converted and furnished to the very highest standards. In the centre is a handsome, mahogany super-king size bed with a spacious sitting area with Sky television and a stunning open fireplace with contemporary, realistic electric log effect fire. A large wall unit forms a clever self-contained kitchen, which can be closed up when not in use, and is fully equipped. This delightful studio also contains a luxurious wet room with underfloor heating.
Guest are welcome to use the area of the owner’s garden in front of Ayres End Studio. The garden, originally designed in the 1920s, is beautifully planned and maintained, which gives this stylish studio its completely unique and idyllic setting. Guests also have exclusive access to the medieval-style summer house – the perfect spot for morning coffee before a day's exploration. The Bell Inn, a mere 400 yards from Ayres End Studio, offers home cooked food in a traditional pub setting.
Just a mile down the road is Kersey Mill, offering a diverse collection of independent businesses and a café, in a stunning, historic water mill setting; with the ancient market town of Hadleigh and the picturesque medieval village of Lavernham within easy reach. A little further afield, the glorious Suffolk coast can be reached in just over an hour for a day's outing 'beside the seaside'.

My husband and I had a wonderful 5-night break at Ayers End. The property provides generous, well-appointed accommodation for 2 people and is positioned in a beautiful spot with stunning gardens. It served as a great base for exploring Suffolk and we wouldnât hesitate to stay again.
