If you're after a home with history, this eighteenth-century barn comes with a healthy dose of character. We love the red brick and charcoal-toned cladding, while beamed ceilings and walls inside make it feel so effortlessly cosy. Fortunately, the amenities are fit for the twenty-first century, and your hosts' attention to detail is impressive. You'll sleep well in the quietness of the countryside, within soft Egyptian cotton and feather-filled bedding, and can look forward to an energising breakfast thanks to a thoughtful welcome hamper. Set within picturesque farmland and just a short walk from the Stour River, this home's ideal for nature lovers planning to explore the surrounding countryside and quaint villages that Constable made so famous, with plenty of traditional pubs to drop into for a swift half along the way.

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.
