The Details

Our rolling Suffolk landscapes are unmistakably English, set amongst 8,000 rural acres, seven miles inland from the seaside town of Southwold and two hours from London. Wilderness Reserve consists of two adjoining estates: 'Chapel Barn Estate', a 15th century thatched long barn, and 'Sibton Park Estate', a Grade II* Georgian mansion.

Both are set in their own private parklands with a collection of beautifully appointed barns, spa farmhouses and cottages offering a total of 86 bedrooms in 18 houses, and a wide variety of wedding reception venues (60-300 guests) both inside and outside.
