For a multi-generational family stay, The Firs solves the age-old problem: how do grandparents, parents and children holiday together without living on top of each other? Take over the whole of this Suffolk countryside retreat and everyone gets their own lodge — their own space, their own bathroom, their own hot tub — while the gardens, the firepit and the dinner table are shared. It's the best of both worlds, and at 2 hours from London and 45 minutes from Norwich, easy for the whole family to reach.
Separate lodges, one site. Six lodges across four acres mean the grandparents can have an early, peaceful night while the younger ones stay up around the firepit. Children have space to roam; parents get a break; grandparents get the quiet they like. Nobody's compromising, and everybody's together when it counts.
Shared moments that make the trip. The outdoor kitchen in the Cartlodge is where the generations come together — cooking on fire in the pizza oven, the firepit lit, the horsebox bar open. Days fill with garden games, egg-collecting with the little ones, and slow afternoons in the gardens. These are the trips children remember into adulthood.
Something for every age, on site and off. The grounds keep everyone happy without leaving, but when you want a day out, the Suffolk coast is under half an hour and Norwich just 45 minutes away.
For a milestone family gathering — a big birthday, an anniversary, or simply getting everyone in one place — these are the UK stays that bring families together. One countryside retreat, three generations, memories all round.
