    “The Seed Shed was easy to find due to the very accurate directions provided, there was plenty parking outside and it was also easy to gain access.”

    On arrival all of the radiators, apart from one, were turned off so it was a bit chilly but once they had been turned on it became warm within an hour, throughout our stay the heating was more than adequate for the size of building and we had ample hot water. The nicely furnished bedroom was big with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed, however a big downside was the lack of a mirror and this posed a problem when drying hair. The only mirror in the entire property was in the bathroom ...

    On arrival all of the radiators, apart from one, were turned off so it was a bit chilly but once they had been turned on it became warm within an hour, throughout our stay the heating was more than adequate for the size of building and we had ample hot water. The nicely furnished bedroom was big with plenty of storage and a very comfortable bed, however a big downside was the lack of a mirror and this posed a problem when drying hair. The only mirror in the entire property was in the bathroom and it could not be reached with a hairdryer. The kitchen was well equipped but more glasses would be good - there was only 2 wine glasses so we had to keep washing them. The previous occupants had left a note stating that the dishwasher was jammed shut but in reality it just need a very strong pull on the rather small handle. The bathroom was large with had big fluffy towels and a good rainfall shower, the cradle for the handset had been broken at some point so it was not possible to reposition it easily. The obvious main attraction was the big open main sitting room with views over the fields, a lovely place to sit and enjoy the sun (there was also outside seating but it was too cold to use it in April). We liked the retro furniture and the way the historic elements of the property had been retained but mixed with modern glass and metal. In general it was very clean but there were a few cobwebs (although it's possible that they arrived during our stay, inevitably in the countryside there were some spiders inside). Wi-fi was fast enough for our needs and for streaming on the TV. Although it is located close to a road we had no problem with road noise, in the evening there wasn't much traffic at all. There are 2 very good pubs within 4 miles and both the local attractions and the sea are just a short distance away. We would certainly consider staying again but only if the lack of mirrors is addressed.

The property

The Seed Store is a wonderful mix of contemporary design and rural period charm. It could not be more perfect for couples looking for a restful countryside break. Looking to bring your dog? Keen walkers? The Seed Store could not be more ideal! You'll be able to access the six acres of grounds as well as numerous local footpaths in the local area. Inside The Seed Store you are in for a real treat. The former seed store has been brought back to life using traditional materials, including hemp and lime insulation, lime plaster and original brick flooring, and now offers an extremely light and contemporary living space. A particularly pleasing feature of the property is the sitting room, which enjoys far-reaching panoramic views across open fields, through bespoke curved glass windows and double doors. The open plan sitting room features some iconic furniture and lighting designs from which all the other rooms, including the bedroom, kitchen/dining room, bathroom/shower room are accessed. The pretty market town of Framlingham can be easily reached by car in under 15 minutes, and local pubs of the Badingham White Horse or Dennington Queen offer delicious meals and drinks. The Suffolk coast is only a 20 minute drive away, and the nearest village of Peasenhall has a charming village shop, delicatessen, butchers and tea room.
