is a collection of exclusive use country houses, luxury farmhouses, and holiday cottages to rent all set on 5000 acre private estate.
Tucked away in a forgotten East Anglian corner is Wilderness Reserve, where pure countryside meets luxury staycation and the definition
of a holiday cottage to rent is being redefined.
Unlike traditional self-catering holiday cottages, Wilderness’s Reserve homes are all on a 5000 acre private estate and looked
after by a team with the most exacting standards. Exceptionally well-designed interiors set our cottages apart,
all individual in their style and decor. A range of indoor and outdoor activities are available,
from complimentary Pashley cycles and row boats all the way to private chefs,
making Wilderness Reserve the ideal destination for couples, friends, or families looking for a countryside retreat.
As you wind up the serpentine drive, sheep and cows graze lazily alongside whilst the sound of
oars slipping through the lake puncture the blessed silence of the countryside. Early-risers can
be treated to the sound of woodpeckers and the chorus of songbirds, our Wilderness Reserve Ranger on hand
for those keen to check on our 2000 nest boxes. Birdwatching holidays are cool now.
Wilderness Reserve is a return to old fashioned hospitality – wave hello to housekeeping, you’ll spot them darting about the estates in their traditional Morris Minors! – and no request is too big or small. Free from the restrictions of a hotel, we want you to treat this as your blank canvas. Suffolk has always been a quiet county – before it’s infamous castle on the hill came to international attention – more known for it’s vast blue skies, epic sunsets, and pretty pink cottages. Iconic sea side towns like Aldeburgh and Southwold sees queues down the street for fish and chips, freshly shucked oysters, and a cold pint of locally brewed Adnams. Wilderness Reserve sits in-between, a short jump to these foodie destinations and a mere 2 hours from the whirl of London life.
Wilderness Reserve’s journey began more than 20 years ago with the restoration of it’s Arcadian landscapes, all under the watchful eye of renowned landscape architect Kim Wilkie. Now covering two separate estates, Wilderness Reserve has grown to over 15 properties with almost 100 bedrooms all sensitively restored by local artisans.
