Property code: OC-SFBOR

For a secluded holiday, take your partner to this wood cabin in Suffolk. You can even bring your dogs. Complete with a book wall and a shepherd's hut in the garden, this has everything you could need for a quiet holiday where you can take the time to cherish each other.

As you enter the cottage, you’ll find a large living area. The lounge/library flows into the dining area and then on to the kitchen. There’s a wood burner and French doors to the garden in the lounge/library so you can enjoy a story and sunshine or get cosy in the evenings. If you’d like to bring other guests, you can pull down a double bed so they can stay over – please mention this when booking. The downstairs is finished with a wood panel floor, lending a warm and welcoming atmosphere to the space. Head to the first floor to find your bedroom, a charmingly decorated double with a vaulted ceiling and an en-suite bathroom. You’ll see a gravel garden, enclosed by a fence and featuring a dining area and a shaded seating spot. Finally, visit the shepherd’s hut, a lovely space with a double bed, chairs and a pull-down table.

This spot is a walkers’ paradise, and you’ll find plenty of great routes from the front door. If you fancy being beside the sea, have a day out in Aldeburgh (12.5 miles) where there’s a long beach and a nice town so you can grab a bite to eat. Visit Snape Marshes (9 miles) for wildlife including ponies, kingfishers and otters, or try RSPB Minsmere (8.5 miles) for bird watching and walks.

We were very comfortable in the cottage, and loved watching the birds on the feeders, and the deer and pheasants in the field. The location was perfect for us, with easy access to the coast and other places of interest.

Loved the cottage & location. So peaceful. Not to far to all the places we love to visit such as Dunwich & Orford. Owners friendly & helpful. Wildlife in garden wonderful to watch. Plenty of different birds to see & loved watching the antics of baby rabbits in the garden. Hope to go back there again before too long.

An excellent stay at the Barn Owl retreat. The only negative was that there was no wi-fi available and this point was repeated multiple times from other guests who mentioned this in the comments book.

We've had a fantastic break here - thank you for such a comfortable and well appointed home. So cosy and comfy and the perfect location from which to explore both inland and coastal Suffolk. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and we loved the walk into Peasenhall + breakfast at Weavers Tea room. Great pub food nearby (The White Horse at SiRead morebton especially) and the most amazing walk at Dunwich, over beach and heath. We're already planning our next visit. Thank you! Hide

We've had a great week in the Retreat. It's in a great location for visiting the Suffolk coastline with great beaches which are mostly dog friendly. The surrounding fields have lovely trails for walking and the wildlife is fantastic. The Retreat has all you could wish for and we would happily return and the flowers and the eggs were a nice touch.Read more Thank you. Hide
