Spacious property in lovely surroundings, ideal for children. A little more attention to household details would be advisable.

A lovely, spacious barn conversion set in attractive quiet countryside. There is a nice network of quite roads and tracks to explore nearby. The property provides easy access to the many attractions of tbe Suffolk Coast and Waveney valley.

An absolutely beautiful barn perfect for so many occasions. We went for a birthday and had two dogs, you have to be vigilant as the garden is not fenced, but we were always out with them. It’s perfectly located near beautiful walks and the barn itself is so comfortable. Could not recommend this place enough, already planning our next visit!
