A week is the perfect length for a proper family holiday — long enough to settle in, slow down and actually relax — and The Firs is built for exactly that. Take the whole site for a week and you've got a private countryside retreat for the whole family, with separate lodges to retreat to and four acres of shared gardens to gather in. We're 2 hours from London and 45 minutes from Norwich, an easy week away for relatives travelling from across the UK.
The luxury of a week is the rhythm it allows. No frantic single-day dash to fit everything in — instead, a string of unhurried days. Beach days on the Suffolk coast at Southwold and Aldeburgh; a trip to a nature reserve or family farm; lazy days that never leave the gardens at all. Children run themselves happily tired, and sleep beautifully in the country air.
With separate lodges, a week works for every generation. Grandparents get their peace and an early night; parents get evenings in the wood-fired hot tub once the little ones are down; children get space, animals and adventure. Everyone comes together for garden games, firepit suppers and pizza oven nights, then drifts back to their own lodge.
For multi-generational UK stays where a week brings the whole family together without anyone living on top of each other, this countryside retreat is hard to beat. Seven days here, and you'll all be planning the next one before you've left.
