A romantic weekend for two: the couples' lodges at The Firs

For a romantic weekend away, The Firs offers couples' lodges built for exactly two — private, secluded, and quietly indulgent. This is a Suffolk countryside retreat where the world genuinely falls away, and at 2 hours from London and 45 minutes from Norwich, it's an easy escape from the everyday. Here's why couples keep coming back.

Your own private world. Each couples' lodge — The Butterchurn, The Cowshed, The Old Press and The Apple Bobber — comes with its own private wood-fired hot tub and a wood-burning stove, set apart in the gardens with no one else in your eyeline. No shared facilities, no neighbours, no reason to leave.

Slow, indulgent days. The romance of a stay here is in the slowness: a deep soak in the hot tub under the stars, a long morning in a beautifully styled lodge, a fire crackling in the evening. Add the Ready to Dip extra and your hot tub is hot and waiting the moment you arrive — robes on, straight in.

As much or as little as you like. Fire the pizza oven for a private cooking on fire night for two, book a spa treatment, or simply do absolutely nothing. The Suffolk coast — Southwold and Aldeburgh — is under half an hour when you fancy a beach walk and a seafood lunch.

For romantic UK stays that feel like a true escape from the first ten minutes, this countryside stay is one of the best-kept secrets among Suffolk hideaways.
