This charming barn conversion is the perfect romantic hideaway for two. In an idyllic location surrounded by wildflower meadows, woods and farmland, you’ll be very well-placed to explore the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Bring the dogs and hit one of many nearby nature trails, catch some fish for supper in the on-site fishing lake or take a day trip to the coast. Southwold is just twenty minutes away, with its sandy beach and pastel-coloured huts, and you can reach the independent shops and beach sculptures of Aldeburgh in less than half an hour. Make sure you stop in one of the local pubs for a pint of the acclaimed Adnams beer. In the evening, sit in the garden with a glass of wine as the sky darkens, and watch the barn owls begin their nightly flight. Or fire up the wood-burner and get cosy inside. If you want to feel closer to nature as you drift off, there’s a double bed in the charming shepherd’s hut in the garden.
