The Folly Barn in Debenham is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its comfortable and private setting, good outdoor space, and convenient location for exploring Suffolk. Guests appreciate the property's beautiful design, warmth, and the accessibility to local walks and village amenities. While most experiences are positive, a few guests noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance.
Most guests found The Folly Barn to be a pleasant stay, but there were a couple of mentions of cleanliness issues, such as debris in the utility room and wood clippings on the floor. These instances suggest room for improvement in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its quiet setting, accessibility to local walks, and proximity to the village and Suffolk attractions. It serves as a great base for exploring the countryside and coastal region.
Guests generally find the barn to be comfortable, warm, and inviting, with a special mention of comfortable beds. However, some guests noted that the creaky floors could be disruptive to sleep.
The property is appreciated for being well-equipped and having good facilities. However, there were comments about the lack of wood for the fire and concerns about the garden's security for pets, which suggests some areas could benefit from attention.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Great location for long walks from the garden. Very comfortable, clean and spacious accommodation, with everything you need for a self catering holiday home. One boundary in the garden is not secure for adventurous collies!

Potentially a very pleasant holiday cottage. However to describe the downstairs bathroom as a wet room including a shower is totally misleading, the shower is above the bath, which in turn is tucked under the stairs. The only real shower is upstairs which is non-ideal if you have mobility issues and struggle with stairs.
