Stables is a lovely, one bedroom, single-storey, holiday home situated at Valley Farm in Snape in a beautiful thatched barn that has been wonderfully converted into four holiday homes. Valley Farm, with an onsite EV charger, is ideally positioned at the top of Snape village, just under 5 miles from the popular seaside town of Aldeburgh and overlooks the fantastic Suffolk countryside for as far as the eye can see.

The space

Stables is the first cottage you reach as you approach the barn and the property opens up into a spacious, open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that is bright and comfortable, perfect for a couple or two friends looking to relax in the countryside. There is a generously sized bedroom with a zip and link bed that can be made up as a super king bed or a twin with built-in storage and an equally large en-suite with bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC. Outside there is a brilliant patio area and communal garden where you can relax and enjoy the peacefulness of the Suffolk countryside after a day exploring the beautiful surrounding area. There is also a separate shared utility room next to the property with a washing machine, tumble dryer and freezer space.

Snape is an absolutely idyllic location, best known for Snape Maltings, the centre of music, independent shops, galleries and eateries in the gorgeous re-purposed Victorian buildings. With beautiful walks right on your doorstep, you can explore the surrounding countryside, heathlands and rivers finishing up at one of the three fantastic pubs in the centre of Snape all serving delicious local food and drinks. With easy access to the A12, you are perfectly positioned for discovering the Suffolk coast with Aldeburgh, Orford, Dunwich, Walberswick and Southwold all within half an hour and offering something unique and picturesque that is well worth the short drive.

Living area with Freeview TV, DVD player and rear door to the patio and communal garden

We loved staying here. It’s within a 25 minute walk to Snape Maltings and a 10 minute drive to Aldeburgh. The barn had everything we needed and was super clean. We thought the homemade bread left for us was a lovely touch.

A lovely property ideally suited to explore Suffolk. Snape Maltings 5 mins away, and so particularly good if going to a concert. Our host was very friendly and informative - overall, a great experience.

The stables was ideal for the two of us plus one dog. Nice interior, very clean with everything you need. Easy access to country walks and the village of Snape with pubs and the Maltings. Would stay again. Thanks.

We stayed at the ‘Stables’ for 2 nights as visiting the food and drink festival. This is a perfect t location with a 15/20minute walk to Snape Maltings and the few pubs. The property was perfect for us, and had everything with needed and very clear instructions. Had the pleasure of meeting Sophie who provided some places to visit nearby. Perfect location with parking.

Lovely property and hosts. Really made an effort with extra touches like a birthday banner, toys for kids and a fresh loaf of bread. We had an issue with the fridge being turned off and they resolved it right away. We had a dog and it was quite hard not being able to let her off to go out to the toilet, as the space was not enclosed. My one bug bear was that the towels are small, and a bath sheet would be a nicer touch, to a really lovely bathroom. The location for exploring is really great. Bed is massive and so comfy! We would return x

Comfortable and spacious for 2 people with a very comfortable bed. However there are extra charges for cot/ high chair and fan which in our experience have been supplied as standard if required.

We enjoyed our stay here, everything was as described. The place was very spacious for us (2 adults and toddler and dog!) and the bed was as others have said- super comfy! The only negatives I would say is the lack of enclosed garden was a pain for the dog as I couldn’t just let her out and there’s such a busy road nearby which you do hear but never bothered us as we’re used to traffic noise. Perhaps just note if you’re expecting really rural calm and quiet you might be disappointed. Everything worked as it should and the place was clean. Ample parking and near to exploring Aldeburgh and Snape.
