About this property
Set on a private estate and enjoying superb rural views, Quill Farm Barn is a superb barn conversion situated close to the delightful town of Campsea Ashe in Suffolk. Ideal for family gatherings or get-togethers of friends, the barn offers spacious accommodation which has been meticulously planned and is beautifully presented. Walking into the open-plan space, you can see why Quill Farm Barn is such a popular destination for its guests. The generous seating area is perfect for visitors to gather and enjoy spending time together with the adjoining dining area elegantly styled, creating the perfect area for long, lazy meals together enjoying a drink and a bite to eat whilst putting the world to rights.
Talking of meals, these can be whipped up in the beautifully curated kitchen which has everything needed for the designated chef to be able to prepare delicious food for the whole party. There is an alternative social space on the galleried landing where you will find an open-plan layout with chairs, a bean bag and a foot stool, making it the ideal spot for chilling out away from the hustle and bustle of the main house. The outside offers as much potential for socialising as the inside with extensive gardens to explore, a raised terrace area for relaxing on and even a tennis court!
You can imagine spending many happy hours here, chilling out on the terrace while children and dogs can run around safely and happily. Why not fire up the barbecue and really make an occasion of it? When bedtime calls, there is a bedroom to suit everyone ranging from singles to doubles and king-sizes with three beds on the ground-floor; all the bedrooms are stylishly presented and include sumptuous beds to sink into after a hard day of holidaying. Following a quick refreshing shower or soak in the bath, you’re good to go and ready to explore the wonders of the surrounding area.

It was the perfect place to spend Christmas with all the family. We had young children and they loved spending time outside on their 'Santa' scooters and had their first experience of playing tennis. The owner was very helpful and we were able to get in early and he always replied to any questions we had. So many lovely places to visit we were spoilt for choice. All in all a great place to stay. I would suggest taking stair gates if you have young children maybe an extra wide one. We used furniture to block off access to the stairs for the toddlers. Thank you for helping us make special Christmas memories.

It was in great condition and clearly well looked after, was extremely comfortable and clean. Richard and his wife were lovely, came to check we had everything we needed and if there were any issues too. We would highly recommend a stay here!
