The space

As you step inside, you are greeted by a cosy and inviting interior, where modern comforts harmoniously coexist with timeless rustic features. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area has been beautifully furnished and well-equipped lending itself to a sociable and comfortable living space that has access out into a lovely courtyard garden with bistro table and chairs and a pond.

Two stylish bedrooms are located just off the hallway, one with a king-size bed and the second with two single beds that can be made up as a king-size bed if required, perfect for either a small family or two couples. There is a family bathroom with a shower bath, wash basin, heated towel rail and WC.

Set in the gorgeous countryside Ivy Lodge Barns has plenty of fantastic walking routes right on your doorstep as well as a meadow that guests have access to - an open space surrounded by nature where you can have a picnic and enjoy the sunshine throughout the warmer months.

My husband and I, accompanied by our dog, had a wonderfully peaceful stay. The friendly owner was both communicative and informative. The house and its location are stunning. We would definitely love to stay here again when in the area.

Gorgeous place! Spent a birthday trip with some friends -baby and dog friendly too so a rare find. Beds were super comfortable we all slept well. Bathroom was lovely too with a very good shower and bath (anti slip mat was great for the baby too). Books and some toys for infants was a lovely touch as they like new things. Overall loads of positives and I'd definitely recommend!

We had a fantasic stay at Ivy Lodge Farm - the stables accommodation was perfect for our family of 4 and we loved the remote setting, while still being accessible to Aldebrugh, Dunwich, and Sutton Hoo. It was great to be able to explore the local footpaths and our sons enjoyed the paddock and climbing frames within the farm

Had a lovely few days at The Stables felt completely safe and at peace. It’s a high spec beautifully decorated barn conversation. I slept so well and the barn was just the right size and layout for a family of four to spend lots of time together.
