If you’re keen for a Suffolk break in a gorgeous countryside setting, stay at this spacious converted barn with room for up to 12 guests. You’ll be within a National Landscape and just 3.5 miles from the coast, with easy access to scenic estuary walks and beauty spots like the Benacre National Nature Reserve (4 miles). Kids will be keen for adventures at the Southwold Maize Maze (2 miles), where they can tackle zip wires, pedal go-karts and giant jumping pillows. Or, for a more peaceful afternoon, head to the charming Georgian village of Walberswick (5 miles), a nostalgic seaside gem. Alternatively, make a beeline for its livelier neighbour, Southwold (4 miles), a quintessential British beach town with a sandy shoreline and photo-worthy beach huts. The famous Latitude Festival is only 3 miles away, so this is an ideal base if you have day tickets (it beats camping hands down!). For a day trip, the market town of Beccles (9 miles) is wonderful with its quirky independent shops, winding streets and historic squares.
Brimming with character and charm, this beautifully converted barn features exposed beams, lofty ceilings and original flooring throughout. The entrance lobby sets the tone for the trip with its pool table, providing a playful welcome. On the ground floor, you’ll have two of the bedrooms – a cosy double and a bunk room – along with a stylish wet room with WC. For relaxation, your group can choose two lounges, the first is large and the second is more of a snug. Both have wood burners to keep you all toasty. The open-plan kitchen, complete with an AGA for cooking up group feasts, is another fab spot for socialising, with a spacious dining area for sitting down to meals. A wooden staircase in the entrance hall leads up to four more inviting bedrooms: a super-king, two doubles and a twin, along with a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room leading off the super-king bedroom, both with WCs.
The outside space opens up more opportunities for spending time together, with an enclosed patio, a pizza oven, a charcoal BBQ and a bubbling hot tub. You can organise games on the large lawn and while away evenings soaking up the fresh country air. There is private parking for six cars.
