About The Roost
Popping up just for Suffolk stays in the height of summer, The Roost is a laidback and small-scale site within the meadows of a farm on the edge of Wenhaston. With big open skies, chickens wandering nearby, hedgerows full of wildlife and plenty of space to chill out, this is a fabulous spot for a relaxed rural break – and with the added bonus of being able to walk to the village's award-winning pub in about 10 minutes.
Tucked away in the scenic Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape, you'll be able to get straight out onto quiet footpaths and lanes for a walk or bike ride easily enough, including routes suitable for kids and dogs. Alternatively, pile into the car for a trip to the coast – perhaps the beach in Southwold or the birdwatching hides at RSPB Minsmere – or a day out at a castle, farm park or theme park, all within about 40 minutes' drive.
However you choose to spend your days, stock up on supplies for a barbecue or campfire back on site – either make a lovely prelude to an evening of stargazing under the dark skies. You'll also find toilets and showers, though note there's no hot water.
