Discover the perfect destination for a large family gathering or group retreat in these adjacent barns. With ample indoor and outdoor space, these charming properties offer a serene countryside setting just a few miles from the coast. Carefully converted with attention to detail, the barns beautifully blend their agricultural heritage with modern comforts. Exposed beams and brickwork showcase their character, while contemporary staircases, flooring, and lighting add a touch of modern elegance.

The smallest barn accommodates two people, featuring an open-plan living space with a lounge, kitchen, and dining area. Upstairs, you'll find a king-size bedroom with a small balcony and an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding, roll-top bath. The two larger barns sleep eight people each, boasting spacious lounge/diner areas with wood burners, fully fitted kitchens, and ground-floor cloakrooms. One of the barns includes a cosy snug, ideal for children's film nights. Both larger barns offer four bedrooms on the first floor. One features two king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a single bedroom, a family room with a bunk bed and a full-size single bed, a family bathroom, and a shared shower room. The other barn comprises two king-size bedrooms with en-suite shower rooms, a twin room, a bunk bedroom, a family bathroom, and a shower room. Step outside each barn onto a private paved terrace with garden furniture. A large shared lawn surrounds the properties, and in an outbuilding, you'll find a games room perfect for friendly competitions.

Bound by 3,000 acres of ancient heathland, farmland, woods, and meadows, immerse yourself in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty crisscrossed with rural footpaths. The village of Bawdsey, located at the mouth of the River Deben, is 4.5 miles away, while the vibrant market town of Woodbridge, known for its independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, is 6 miles away. Don't miss the opportunity to explore Sutton Hoo, the Anglo-Saxon royal burial site (4.5 miles), and for a day of seaside fun, head to Aldeburgh (18 miles).

It was a lovely stay and the accomodation lends itself to a large group going away to celebrate a special birthday . The accomodation is large enough that even when full you can find space and there are activities for adults and children alike. It is a very nice yet rustic set of barns and I can imagine in the summer it would be even better.

Thank you for a great stay. Barns were clean and warm, lovely underfloor heating, tastefully decorated, great communal space.

These are comfortable, spacious and well equipped barn conversions, with loads of outdoor space and games, and surrounded by quiet, gently rolling countryside. The nearby pub is lovely, a short walk away, and there are endless possibilities for walks. You can hear owls outside at night, and visit the local fields of pigs. It's about an hour's (slowRead more) walk to the river. Hide

If you love the countryside and nature this is the property for you, we loved walking the footpaths and seeing the deer. We hired all 3 barns for a family get together and everything we needed was there, thank you for a great holiday.

We had a fantastic stay in the barns, two families, bride and groom, bridesmaids and some guests for a wedding at Woodhall Manor so the location was perfect. We all got together again on the Sunday which extended our lovely weekend. The reason I marked down some of the scores slightly was due to the following minor but important points - lack of anRead morey hanging in the smaller bedrooms. Obviously this is needed for a wedding and simple hooks on walls would be sufficient - only a small number of rooms had full length mirrors and none in bathrooms - confusing and inaccurate instructions, examples being 1 - waste bins not clearly labelled in accordance with instructions, inconsistent in each barn, communal large bins not labelled as stated and bat barn not identified at all 2 - TV instructions in Vancouver incorrect as no free stat box provided. We had to take from another TV to watch TV in the main room 3 - linen instructions inconsistent in each barn and then different again to the instructions received by email. 4 - sharp cooking knives poor quality and insufficient in number when catering for a large number of people. No knife sharpener. This sort of attention to detail is required to avoid confusion and make the stay perfect. I hope my comments are considered constructive. Overall thought we had a a great stay and it did add to a perfect weekend. Hide
