Simpers Drift, on the outskirts of Great Glemham village is a perfect chill-out getaway to switch off and unwind, exploring the countryside, lovely coastal walks, heaths, forests, Suffolk villages, towns and country estates in the open air.

Large enclosed garden with garden furniture. 1 well-behaved dog welcome. Parking for 1 car. Charging for electric cars available, fee applies The space In the grounds of a listed 17th century farm house Simpers Drift was converted from the old farm dairy to provide modern facilities in a property which retains all its old charm and character.

The owners enjoy being out in the open Suffolk coast and countryside. They enjoy canoeing, swimming, walking and have renovated their old Suffolk farmhouse. They are pleased to have installed a EV charger for electric car;. reasonable charge rates apply. The owners have 2 gentle dogs who will have a warm welcome for guests dogs . We have a relaxed attitude and will expect you to have your own space and time whilst staying with them but will be on hand if needed for any advice or help you may need. We are living in our own farmhouse on site but believe in giving people privacy but are on hand to help with anything. We know the area very well and can give ideas for days out if needed
Simpers Drift is in the village of Great Glemham which is quiet and idyllic only 2 miles from the A12 . The village pub provides good food and a good welcome to dogs and humans! Many pretty walks from the door; watch out for deer, hares, hunting birds and the renowned suffolk skies. We are near Snape Maltings, famous as Benjamin Britten’s concert hall and only 6 miles from the seaside town of Aldeburgh. The small market town of Framlingham, with its large castle is 5 miles away.
