Only a short drive away from the beautiful River Deben with it's plentiful walks and riverside pubs, this is a great base for exploring Suffolk and its wonderful coast.
The Shepherd's Hut at Anvil House brings nothing but a sense of calm and relaxation to all who are lucky enough to spend a few nights here, set next to a private lake with views over the water from all the windows.

There is storage space under the bed as well as a cleverly hidden table which can be pulled out with two rattan chairs for those cosy evenings when it is too cold to sit outside for supper.

At the opposite end of the hut to the bed is the bathroom complete with a shower, WC, basin and heated towel rail.
