STARGAZE for days at one of these cute huts, says Deputy Fashion Editor Abby McHale.
The pad
Nestled in the sleepy Suffolk village of Laxfield on a 10-acre site bursting with wildlife, you’ll find adults-only Blyth Rise Stays and its handcrafted Igluhuts for two.
Expect white-washed interiors, leather armchairs, a Bluetooth radio, board games and a firepit.
Plus there’s a cute kitchen and bathroom. Stargaze while lighting the barbecue or hit one of the site’s tucked-away wooden saunas.
Come morning, feast on a hamper of sourdough, eggs, spinach, mushrooms, yoghurt and juice, from £21.
Owner Katie even runs alfresco yoga classes.

Entry costs £12.50 per person (English-heritage.org.uk).
There’s also a farmer’s market on Tuesdays and Saturdays, selling home-made fudge and artisan bread.

Then pop into The Clockhouse on the Victorian pier for an epic Hat Trick Hot Chocolate, topped with Maltesers, cream and marshmallows, £3.95 (Southwoldpier.co.uk/the-clockhouse).
Later, either scale the 19th-century lighthouse for coastline views and a post-climb beer, £15.50 per person, or hit Adnams Brewery for a behind-the-scenes tour, £25 per person, finishing with a tasting of its many delicious stouts, lagers and pale ales (Adnams.co.uk).
Eat up
For a fab sirloin beef roast with mega Yorkshire puds, book the Michelin-recommended Fox & Goose in Fressingfield, 10 minutes’ drive away.
The black olive gnocchi with a Thai twist is delicious, and don’t skip dessert when crème brûlée with an apple doughnut is on offer, from £25 for two courses.
Wash it down with the pub’s own brew, Goose Juice (Foxandgoose.net).
Just a 10-minute stroll from your hut is The Low House, a 16th-century thatched pub with small drinking rooms, a cosy fire and no bar!
Serving straight from casks in the Tap Room, it’s one of just a few British pubs to still do this (Lowhouselaxfield.com).
Meanwhile, in the heart of Southwold, Coasters prides itself on fresh produce.
Its beer-battered fish and chips, £13.50, is a must, but so is the pork belly with potato fondant, £18.95 (Coastersofsouthwold.co.uk).
