Wenhaston is a pretty village surrounded by Suffolk countryside – great for cycling and walking, with seaside Dunwich and Walberswick (delightful for crabbing) 5 miles away and popular Southwold 7 miles away. Also, a short drive away is Minsmere RSPB reserve and Snape Maltings with its year-round programme of music, art exhibitions, restaurants and craft shops. There are 2 pubs nearby and a village shop for daily essentials
There is a regular bus service to Southwold and Halesworth if you do not want to drive.
Compass Barn is by far the loveliest 2-berth Air BnB we've stayed in to date - so tastefully decorated and extremely well equipped. Host Michael is super friendly and helpful. The kitchen is very well kitted out, the bedroom decorated in such calming shades and with such a luxurious feel, excellent quality linen and towels. The bathroom is a treat, with plenty of hot water and his n hers sinks! We felt spoilt 😊. We absolutely loved the place and truly hope to go back soon. Thank you!
The barn was spacious, light and airy, in a great location to explore everything the area has to offer
We booked this accommodation at the last minute so we were a little anxious to see if the photos and description lived up to expectations. It did do exactly that! Well equipped and spacious with great comms throughout the booking process. Location is good for visiting the Suffolk coastline with Southwold and Walberswick within easy reach. The accommodation really enabled us to relax and enjoy the experience. We didn't meet the Hosts but the comms and instructions ensured we had all relevant information. Overall, very impressed and we are very appreciative.
Lovely short break, very quiet and peaceful. Comfy bed, great shower and well equipped kitchen. Thank you Mike!
Fantastic place and location. Host was so helpful and a great sense of humour
Nice and peaceful location at driving distance from the seaside. Really well equipped and clean. Felt like at home with private area in the garden. The owner is really responsive, helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend it.
We had a brilliant stay at Compass Barn - it was so homely, well-equipped and perfectly-formed! Our host was really welcoming and responded to our washing-machine query with a prompt and helpful set of instructions complete with photos! We’d definitely come back here.
I can’t speak highly enough about this Airbnb. So well appointed and stacks of room - with quality fittings and fixtures. It really is a home from home and a great place to relax and enjoy the garden. Would have loved to stay longer. Met Mike who lives next door and he was very friendly and helpful. The area is peaceful and some interesting places within relatively short drives. Framlingham Castle, Orford Castle and Sutton Hoo definitely worth visiting. The Crown in Southwold is nice for food and good old fashioned service. The local pub, Star Inn, is walkable and a nice pint. We had a couple of steaks which were decent and good value. All in all we had a lovely break
Absolute gem! Extremely well equipped, great peaceful location near to lots of interesting places and the coast. Mike was so friendly and helpful. We could not have chosen better, and would love to return.
