Serenity Lakes

The clue’s in the name with Serenity Lakes, a peaceful Suffolk retreat where three well-equipped shepherd’s huts are positioned along a picturesque fishing lake. An adults-only escape for those looking to de-stress, not only are the cosy huts primed for a romantic getaway, but the on-site sauna, wood-fired hot tubs, and private patios—complete with handmade fire pits—make this an excellent destination for couples in need of relaxation.

Serenity Lakes is located behind a working farm and equestrian centre near the small market town of Haverhill, though despite it being tucked away in the countryside, it’s only a drive away from bustling Cambridge. There’ll be no such commotion at camp, though, with guests able to spend their day swinging in the hammock next to the lake or fishing alongside the water. Hosted by experienced angler Andy, this is a Hipcamp ideal for those seeking a fishing holiday or first timers interested in giving it a go. 

The huts themselves provide everything you need and a little extra for a relaxing break. Inside there are comfy king-size beds with memory foam mattresses, a stylish kitchen, and a snug dining area, along with a modern bathroom boasting a surprisingly large shower. Step outside to a view of the lake, with your own private hot tub adjacent—available to book for your personal use—and a sauna cabin nearby. If that doesn't sound restful enough, take a scenic stroll along the area's quiet country roads flanked by sprawling fields—there are two popular local pubs within walking distance.
