Location:   The quiet village of Otley sits 8 miles west of the market town of Woodbridge and is surrounded by open countryside, mostly agricultural. The village Church, St Mary's, dates from the 13th century and boasts a rare total immersion font. An award winning village store and post office is the hub of Otley with lots of local information on events in the village and surrounding area.

About the property:   Vine Barn is most deceptive. Concealed from the lane by an established laurel hedge, the traditional feather-board black barn is actually a collection of buildings seamlessly linked by wide hallways and stairs to give a wonderfully spacious, contemporary holiday home with three luxurious bedroom suites. Vine Barn sits in extensive grounds and the owners live in the adjacent cottage. They are sometimes seen attending the garden but guests do have full use of the grounds. 

The ground floor comprises; a twin bedroom with dressing room and full bathroom; a majestic super king bedroom with sitting room, separate dressing room or baby suite and a full bathroom; an open plan sitting room and kitchen with floor to ceiling glass doors along two walls giving access to the patio, acres of lawn and beautiful pastoral view. The kitchen overlooks the sitting room, being raised by a few steps, and is fully fitted with stylish white units, an island dining bar and cooking station, two double ovens and a utility annex.

The first floor is entirely occupied by the third bedroom suite with a super king size bed, leather sofa and 42" flat screen TV, full bathroom and access to the private roof top terrace with stunning views over the lawns to the valley beyond. Parents and grandparents can relax as Vine Barn is extremely child friendly with a large playroom, a hoard of toys and games, and space too for some serious gym equipment.

Sleeps:   Sleeps 6 in one twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two super king size bedrooms both with full en-suite shower and bathrooms.

Outside: the delightful garden includes  a small goal posts set and Pitch and Putt 2 for the children as well as some golf clubs for the adults amusement.

Parking:  Up to three cars on private driveway.

This property is ideal for:  Great for a family holiday with plenty to entertain all generations without even leaving the grounds. Multi-gym, snooker bar, mini cinema size TV plus acres of enclosed lawn for the children to play. However, it would be a shame not to explore the area as the A12 and A14 pass equidistant to the east and west making Vine Barn ideal for discovering Suffolk's Heritage Coast to the east or the wool towns of Long Melford, Lavenham and Bury St Edmunds in the west. A must trip if you are staying at the right time, is Otley Hall, reputedly the oldest house in Suffolk to have survived intact.

Orford, Woodbridge and Felixstowe are within 30 minutes' drive. Children will enjoy crabbing off the quay at Orford, playing in the grounds of the castle keep or a river trip. There are some fine places for lunch too, especially if you are a fan of fresh seafood and the award winning Pump Street Bakery and cafe also serves the most amazing pastries.

Woodbridge is also great for all the family with a leisure pool, traditional cinema and a great outdoor playground at Kingston Playing field. The Thoroughfare is lined with coffee shops, some chic independent boutiques and galleries and there is plenty of parking space at the quayside railway station.

Framlingham Castle and Easton Farm Park are both a short drive and it's worth checking the website for seasonal events and family activities. The quiet lanes and footpaths are perfect for cycling and walking which is the best way to enjoy this beautiful rural region.

Entertainment:   There is a separate Humax FreeSat box with each TV giving each room independence and the TV in the sitting room has a DVD player and hdmi port.

Eating and drinking out:  The White Hart, Otley is a family-run pub serving classic homemade dishes in a friendly atmosphere with live music, pub quiz and poker, depending on which evening you visit. The Moon and Mushroom in neighbouring Swilland is extremely popular with an interesting menu which changes regularly but is consistently great. A gastro pub worth visiting is the Grundisburgh Dog, just four miles from the cottage. Nice food and good local beers.

A little further afield is Woodbridge with numerous eating venues from formal dining at The Riverside or Crown Hotel to family favourite Prezzo and trendy dining at the East Coast Diner.

Self Catering:  There are several good farm shops a short drive away, the closest and one of the best being Grange Farm Shop, Hasketon. The Otley village store and post office stocks all the essentials including a selection of wines and is a short, pleasant walk away. Woodbridge and Wickham Market are the closest towns for shopping; Woodbridge offers a good selection of independent bakeries, butcher and fishmonger alongside the Co-op food store and Budgens supermarket. All of the major supermarkets will deliver an online order to this area, the closest being Tesco at Martlesham Heath. Click here for local Food Suppliers close to Woodbridge and Framlingham.

    We have had a lovely time staying here. Matthew, Hannah and Bella have enjoyed the garden enormously! The facilities were brilliant, very well equipped. How to see you again!

  • Mr Frost

    Fabulous place with a lovely welcome. We really appreciated the Christmas decorations too. We had a wonderful few days seeing out the old year and ringing in the new in this comfortable and warm house. We especially enjoyed the space, all the little luxuries and big, comfortable beds, as well as the peaceful location. We didn't make much use of the gym but did enjoy trying our hand out on the full-size snooker table. We will remember Vine Barn if we're ever in Suffolk again and would warmly recommend this lovely place, thank you!

  • Mr Copp

    We've enjoyed a very relaxing week in Otley - catching up with the family and meeting up with old friends celebrating 'significant' birthdays. Vine Barn served us very well - warm, spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and plenty of bathrooms. Snape Maltings and The Red House in Aldeburgh have been on our list of 'must visit' for a long time - neither disappointed, both highly recommended. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the parts we've missed! Thank you!
