Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Tucked away within peaceful woodland surroundings, The Bushel offers an intimate yet luxurious escape into nature. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and style, this spacious canvas hideaway features a super kingsize Hypnos cashmere bed and two single beds, all dressed in soft linens. Rustic-chic furnishings and natural textures blend seamlessly with the woodland setting, creating an atmosphere of calm and quiet indulgence. A wood-burning stove keeps the canvas room warm and inviting on cooler evenings, while your private deck is perfect for morning coffee or lounging beneath the trees at sunset. Outside, a covered veranda, firepit BBQ, and dining area invite long, leisurely meals under open skies.

Combining the charm of camping with the elegance of a boutique lodge, The Bushel invites you to slow down, unplug, and breathe in the Suffolk air. Set within four acres of gardens, woodland, and a tranquil pond, The Bushel is part of a peaceful collection of boutique lodges at The Firs Suffolk, where seclusion and comfort go hand in hand. Guests can hire the private sauna for 2 or 3 hour sessions where they will have sole access to relax and unwind, or enjoy an outdoor culinary experience, cooking pizza in a hired Ooni oven under the stars — little extras designed to make your stay truly memorable.

Beyond the trees, winding lanes lead to Suffolk’s most charming villages and market towns. Explore by foot or bike past orchards, thatched cottages, and ancient churches. Enjoy farm shops, cosy pubs, and markets brimming with Suffolk cheese, bread, and cider. A short drive takes you to the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — home to Aldeburgh, Orford, and Southwold, where beaches, galleries, and seafood huts await. The historic market town of Framlingham, 20 minutes away, offers shops, restaurants, and its famous castle. Whether you’re seeking coastal adventures, woodland walks, or evenings by the fire beneath a canopy of stars, The Bushel offers a peaceful, private, and restorative Suffolk escape. Perfect for unforgettable gatherings with family and friends, while still enjoying your own space.
