Conveniently located between Stowmarket and Needham Market, this beautifully converted former stables offers a flexible and chic retreat for up to six guests. Dog-friendly, it sits within 4 acres of the owner's land and is an ideal base for exploring Mid Suffolk as a family or group of friends.

An open-plan living area welcomes you with a choice of comfortable seating and a Smart TV - setting the scene for relaxing evenings with family or friends.

Fantastic place to stay. Stunning interior and kitchen. Open plan was very good for our small group of friends but at the same time was very cosy and comfortable. Bluetooth mirror a big plus for playing tunes. Were quite a few trains passing but we were aqare of this when we booked and they didnt dusturb us too much. Would definately return :)

Fabulous holiday, everything you could need was available with the exception of toilet rolls! Heating was perfect, lovely and warm although the shower could've done with being hotter. Spacious accommodation, lots of room for storage of clothes and wine, wifi was excellent, mirror in the bathroom wowed everyone! Worth noting, there is a train track Read moreat the bottom of the garden (very close) so might be worth bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Would definitely come again :) thankyou Hide

The Stables is large and well equipped and a good place to relax - in better weather it would have been lovely to spend some time in the summer house - a lovely touch. The kitchen is small, well equipped but lacks work surface for those who want to self cater. Great place for dog walks and a lovely setting.

Owners were lovely. Property was beautiful. Kitchen was smaller than expected but suited our needs. Only down side was being woke up at 6:30 every morning by trains. But the beds where so comfy and we still had a great nights sleep

The property was very clean however the kitchen area was a disappointment and you also had to bend double to walk along the side of the bed due to the steep sloping ceilings. We did not realise that it's location was adjacent to a busy road and with a railway line in continuous use every 20 minutes day and night only 150 metres away.
