Property code: OC-STBC

A beautifully updated semi-detached barn conversion set in the idyllic village of Middleton, this charming single-level retreat is a cosy getaway for couples and solo travellers discovering a beautiful part of the Suffolk landscape. Brimming with character, the property features exposed timber beams and a welcoming wood burner, and provides airy accommodation for up to two guests. Offering far-reaching country views, this delightful cottage is one of a pair of properties onsite, and makes a fantastic romantic hideaway. Also onsite is an etching studio which artists and printmakers can book with the owner.

The two properties share an entrance door, with a hallway leading to the cottage and into a sunny, relaxing open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With timber beams and polished flooring, this spacious room is perfect for snuggling up in front of the wood burner to watch a movie or share a romantic meal at the end of a fantastic day. There’s also a delightful super-king-size bedroom with a refreshing en-suite wet room, and a handy utility room. Outside, the garden overlooks a wild water meadow and is shared with the neighbouring cottage, with a private screened-off space with outdoor furniture providing a lovely space to sit back, dine alfresco and enjoy the views. The owner has rare breed Borerays sheep grazing in a nearby field.

Middleton is a picturesque village with a thatched pub, a beautiful church and village green, and makes a great base for walkers. The nearest beach is at Dunwich (4.5 miles), with the coastal towns and villages of Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Southwold all within 11 miles. There’s a range of popular attractions for you to discover across this stunning part of Suffolk including RSPB Minsmere, the remains of Leiston Abbey, the Snape Maltings concert hall, Camel Park Oasis and Parham Airfield Museum, all within 15 miles.

The cottage was a beautiful renovation with quality fixtures and fittings with the exception of the bedding which was showing its age, pattern faded and stains evident. It was a good location with relatively easy access to the coast and places of interest although the ongoing road works could well impact on this.

Apart from the points above we had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the quiet location and its accessibility to many of the area's attractions especially Dunwich and Minsmere. However we were disappointed that on the day we were clearing up to leave an engineer turned up to service the boiler booked by the owner who had not had the courtesy to informRead more us. Hide

The stable cottage is situated in a quiet location at the edge of the village. It is tastefully decorated, comfortable and warm. We stayed for 3 days to visit Minsmere which is a 10 minute drive. Perfect for couples. We highly recommend a stay at the cottage.

The barn conversion is well laid out and the utility room with direct garden access is ideal with a dog. Contemporary decor. Excellent location in quiet village close to coast and near Aldeburgh and Southwold. On site parking. Good for dog owners. Comfort slightly compromised by sofa and wet room but bed was good.
