Despite being an outhouse conversion, this former barn in Suffolk has a real cosy country cottage vibe, thanks to its chintzy decor, terracotta tiling and relaxed living space. It’s fantastic for sociable families, as you'll have shared use of a games room (including ping pong, foosball and pool tables) as well as an on-site playground for the children. Located in Wattisham – a fifteen-minute drive away from Stowmarket, there’s easy access to great walks, wildlife spotting (including otters!) and day trips to Sutton Hoo, which is a fifty-minute drive away. For trips out the Suffolk coast – you can be in the seaside town's of Aldeburgh or Southwold in around an hour. On summer nights, head back to your humble abode to fire up the barbecue, hop in the hot tub and make the most of the rural surroundings and fresh country air. For larger groups, ask the host about their other cottages, also on Plum Guide.
