This rural hideaway is on a small, Suffolk grazing farm and enjoys far-reaching countryside views. The property is perfect for families and groups of friends looking for a peaceful coastal holiday, with a remote beach just 1 mile away and walking routes directly from your front door. The historic town of Woodbridge is 9 miles away and you can also enjoy day trips to Aldeburgh (17 miles).

The converted barn is decorated in a contemporary style, with sleek furniture and calming tones throughout. Enter via the lobby, where you can store outdoor gear, and move into the magnificent open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Whip up a tasty feast in the stylish kitchen area and gather around the large dining table for memorable mealtimes. After dinner, relax on the comfortable seating by the wood burner. In warmer months, throw open the patio doors to let a gentle breeze flow through the property. Completing the ground floor is an inviting twin bedroom. The two remaining bedrooms are upstairs, one of which has an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is also located on this floor. Outside, bask in the sunshine on the enclosed, raised decked area and dine alfresco whilst taking in the panoramic views. Guests also have access to a shared plunge pool and games room.

From the property, follow the coastal trail to the village of Bawdsey (4.5 miles), to enjoy far-reaching views and wildlife watching opportunities. From Bawdsey, the foot ferry takes you across to the bustling seaside town of Felixstowe. Your nearest beach is Shingle Street (1 mile), where you’ll find a quiet stretch of pebbles and shingle. It’s the perfect place for a peaceful stroll or a picnic. If you’re looking for a livelier beachside setting, head to the popular resort of Aldeburgh.

Lovely location. The games room is a bit basic, otherwise all very good

The location is very good. Very quiet and relaxing. Learned something about history and had to watch the movie The Dig. ?? Diane and Chris were very good hosts. They sorted out the wifi problem immediately as we have a teenage boy with us. Would love to come back when the weather is warmer so we can use the pool. We loved the place.
