Property code: OC-LVB

This charming two-storey holiday cottage in Suffolk is the perfect place for a family or group of friends to make some memories. Set in 16 acres of private grounds, it is surrounded by the stunning Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the lively village of Holbrook only half a mile away – with a butcher, grocer and pub. When you’re not experiencing the breathtaking countryside surroundings on foot, you can be admiring them through the property’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

Make yourselves at home in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room, featuring characterful exposed beams and a warming wood burner. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors provide fabulous views out over the landscaped gardens, and there is comfortable seating for all. The dining area has room for six, with a sleek kitchen adjacent – well-equipped for meal preparation. Also on this floor, is a super-king-size bedroom, a bathroom, a separate shower room, and a handy utility room with laundry facilities. Upstairs, the mezzanine boasts a desk and chair with views over the dining room below, an ideal space for working. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms - a super-king-size and a double - and an additional cloakroom with WC. And when the sun is shining, nothing beats an al fresco supper on the outdoor dining terrace, furnished with a patio table and chairs, as well as a BBQ. The view from this terrace is nothing short of spectacular.

Constable Country is right on the doorstep of this retreat, with Dedham Vale and Flatford Mill under 10 miles away. For those looking for an adrenaline-packed adventure, Alton Water is only 2 miles away where you can take part in a variety of water sports, including sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. It is also great for a leisurely walk, admiring the wildlife and scenery along the way –binoculars are a must to catch a glimpse of the birds in the nearby bird hides.

Weve just had a fabulous week at Lake Farm Barn. The peace and quiet is wonderful and theres so much wildlife around. Ducks, rabbits, foxes, woodpeckers, deer, the list goes on. The beds are really comfortable, as are the sofas, and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Thank you Debs and Colin, I do hope we can come again one day.

Beautifully converted barn, situated in lovely gardens, with a countryside view. Short, 5 minute walk to the village centre, with a great butcher's shop, Co-op and pub. Plenty of walks nearby including at the nearby reservoir, River Orwell and River Stour. Ipswich is only a 15 minute drive away and the coastal towns of Felixstowe, Woodbridge, OrRead moreford, Aldeburgh and Southwold are all easily accessible for a daytrip. Venturing inland you have the interesting towns of Lavenham, Cavendish and Bury St Edmunds. The house itself has 3 double bedrooms, a great kitchen / dining and living area, as well as a nice patio with garden furniture. Overall a great place to stay and enjoy the Suffolk / North Essex countryside with friends and or family! Hide

Lovely place to completely chill out. Spent the evening playing games, watching films and enjoying proper family time together. Plenty of walks right on the doorstep with our 12 year old lab, Max, who gained a new lease of life over the week.
