Suffolk An absolute find! This is an absolutely stunning barn conversion with exceptional outdoor facilities that include a 4seat hot tub, a ceramic bbq, comfy patio seating all under a fabulous timber framed, tin roofed garden room/patio. Not only is the outside a treat but this 2bed barn comfortably sleeps 4 adults & is done to such a high standard you’ll regret leaving it! This place has underfloor heating throughout & a freestanding log burner in a vaulted lounge with exposed beams. The two bedrooms are well appointed too, master has en-suite with walk in shower, main bathroom too has a large walk in shower, both from the oil fired combi boiler. Beautiful oak planked doors throughout and wood plank effect LVT through every room makes this place that bit above the rest! We took our two Labradors with us, our eldest has joint issues & isn’t good on smooth floors but this LVT is clearly a non slip version making life that bit easier for Poppy. Upon unpacking we realised there wasn’t an ironing board or iron, we mentioned it to the owners(who live behind) & the very next morning they dropped a new one in! In addition I’d asked a favour of them to arrange some flowers for my wife as it was our wedding anniversary & I would pay on arrival - these too arrived as promised & were stunning. The one issue we found was achieving dry towels- as it’s all underfloor heating there’s no radiators- just use the drying rack from the twin bedroom cupboard & stand it in the cupboard next to the kitchen with the boiler in it- boots, swim wear, towels - all dry next day! Whilst staying here we visited several places, these were well worth visiting & worth sharing:- Whitlingham country park - just on the outer edge of Norwich, great sandwiches/cakes from the flint barn cafe & great place to walk the dogs round the lakes & through the woodlands. Framlingham castle - worth a visit, dog friendly too. Southwold beach(The Denes) also dog friendly & at the car park there is a great pub - The Sail Loft well worth a visit. Just one last mention - takeaway pizzas, if you want them delivering to the barn there’s a leaflet in the folder under the tv (pizza plus) best pizza we’ve ever had!
