In a quiet sunken spot surrounded by rolling hills and sprawling countryside sits this cosy converted barn. Guests lucky enough to escape to this rural treasure will find the open layout a sociable and homely space to unwind. Stepping inside, you'll notice the floor-to-ceiling patio doors that slide open to blur the boundaries between nature and the home's rustic interiors. Light pours into the living space, where industrial design meets modern comfort, with exposed brick walls, low-hanging lights and a wooden dining table. Spend chilly evenings snuggled up by the wood-burning stove with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book in hand ― the Persian rug, tasteful artwork and quirky ornaments will soon have you feeling all warm and settled. Come morning, we can think of no better start to the day than eating breakfast in the crisp country air out on the private patio area, facing uninterrupted views of the River Stour ― there's also a barbecue and fire pit out here for after the sun's gone down. We recommend packing your walking shoes because you'll want to explore the beautiful Suffolk landscape. Whether you bring the whole family or just a few friends, we suggest spending a fun day at River Stour Estuary and its stunning beaches, just a ten-minute walk away.

About Dedham Vale

Taking a wooden clinker boat out onto the River Stour on a pleasant day has to be one of the most romantic English experiences you could picture – that is, until you bump into a bank as you glide backwards.
