Description

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

Paradise Found
Paradise has been found - and happily, it’s not a million miles away. Rather it’s in a sweet corner of the Suffolk countryside, at Wilderness Reserve.
