Rates & Availability

We are delighted to offer stylish and contemporary self-catering holiday and short break accommodation in our beautiful 16th century Suffolk farmhouse. Dominic Richards, who also owns nearby historic Yaxley Hall, has spent considerable time carrying out the pain-staking restoration and restyling of this wonderful farmhouse to produce a stunning holiday cottage of the highest standard.

Set in a walled garden, in the centre of 37 acres of its own private meadowland, our farmhouse offers contemporary self-catering holiday accommodation for up to eight guests in its four double bedrooms. There are an additional two reception rooms, a separate dining room, two bathrooms and an en-suite shower room (including Philippe Starck sanitary ware and probably the most deeply indulgent, oversized freestanding bath you will ever have experienced).

Pure cotton linen, goose/duck down pillows and quilts, generously sized towels, flat screen digital TV, WIFI broadband, iPod docks and the total quiet and perfect fresh air of the Suffolk countryside will ensure a very relaxing holiday.

Everything you require is provided should you decide to self-cater and make the most of the Aga in the brand new handcrafted farmhouse kitchen. The kitchen has been fitted with bespoke handmade units and double doors from here lead out on to timber decking and the back garden where herds of deer and groups of pheasants are a regular sight!

For the ultimate luxury, subject to availability and prior reservation, we can arrange for a chef from Yaxley Hall to visit and prepare and serve brunch, a full evening meal, or afternoon tea – so all you need do is sit back, relax and savour the same outstanding level of catering offered at the Hall itself.

The countryside around the Home Farm is some of Suffolk’s most attractive, yet this idylic and stylish holiday accommodation is easily reached from the main A14 trunk road, or from Ipswich’s main railway station (London Liverpool Street is 70 minutes away). The farmhouse is located near the beautiful village of Coddenham, with its cosy country pub and traditional village store, and is situated directly on the 6 mile sign-posted Shrubland Estate Walk.

The beautiful county of Suffolk offers a diverse wealth of exciting and authentic experiences in a setting which blends contemporary modern living with centuries of history and tradition. Wide open spaces and rolling landscapes, stunning coastline and delightful beaches, postcard villages, wonderful churches and historic buildings, castles, ruins and stately homes combine to make East Anglia the perfect destination for self-catering cottage holidays. An incredible variety of fresh locally produced food and drink combined with a delightful range of accommodation, attractions and events and within easy reach of London and Cambridge, Suffolk offers visitors a chance to indulge in the gentle pace of rural England.
