Immerse yourselves in the picturesque Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty when you retreat to this inviting barn at Iken. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom bolthole is one of a handful of carefully converted holiday homes nested on a farm in scenic surroundings near the River Alde. With fabulous walks from the doorstep and just 3 miles from celebrated Snape Maltings and 9 miles from Aldeburgh, this is a holiday home that offers serenity as well as access to seaside fun and shopping.
Let yourselves into the single-storey, brick-built barn to discover accommodation that is bright, airy and comfortable, and ideal for a small family or a group of friends, especially if they are keen to bring a canine companion. The living space, which has underfloor heating, comprises an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where you can unpack the provisions you have bought and whip up hearty feasts to enjoy inside or out. The lounge area has ample room to unwind together in front of a good film on TV or to play a game. There is a handy washing machine to rinse through your clothing after muddy country walks. At the end of each energetic day, enjoy a relaxing bubble bath and then lay your head in either the inviting king-size bedroom or one of the singles for the night. Take your morning coffee out on to the patio on sunny days and have a wander around the shared grounds. There is private parking for guests at this barn.
Visit Snape Maltings, where former Victorian maltings buildings are now a complex of colourful shops, restaurants, cafes and galleries. Book seats for a concert at the impressive hall here or book a boat trip out along the River Alde. Go canoeing on the river too or hire bicycles in Aldeburgh.
