\/><\/p>\n<p>Framlingham Castle often holds special events too, especially around children&#8217;s holidays.\u00a0 We decided to opt for a walk around the moat and grounds on this occasion and work up an appetitie.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44518\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44518\"

knew it, it was time for lunch.\u00a0 We decided to have a light bite at <a href=\"https:\/\/thedancinggoatframlingham.wordpress.com\/\">The Dancing Goat Caf\u00e9<\/a>, right on the marketplace in Framlingham.\u00a0 A charming caf\u00e9, with a wonderful and varied menu.\u00a0 Really attentive staff who looked after us very well.\u00a0 Incredibly popular, this cosy caf\u00e9 has a handful of tables inside, and a few more outside on warmer days.\u00a0 Seemingly a central hub for locals, there were a steady stream of people coming in for coffee or lunch.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44520\"

head off for a walk around Framlingham and to find both the toy shop and the play park.\u00a0 The play park is located just around the corner from the castle.\u00a0 With a wide variety of equipment its suitable for all ages.\u00a0 Once again, Monty found his favorite, the zip-wire!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44522\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

Framlingham also boasts a fabulous number of independent shops.\u00a0 Ideal for taking a mooch around whilst you&#8217;re on holiday.\u00a0 We opted to take a look around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framlinghamtoyshop.co.uk\/\">Bulstrodes<\/a>, an established independent retailer in the heart of Framlingham that has a wonderful toy store.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44524\"

head back to Manor House Barn and whip up a delicious family meal.\u00a0 We really put the kitchen to the test, as we cooked a full roast chicken dinner.\u00a0 The oven managed it with ease, and the induction hob handles the vegetables and gravy without any to-do.\u00a0 Plenty of pots and pans, plus suitable crockery and cutlery combined to create a perfectly equipped holiday cottage kitchen.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44527\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44527\"

decided to treat myself to a luxurious bubble bath.\u00a0 The bathroom at Manor House Barn has both a large shower as well as a deep-filled, roll-top bath.\u00a0 We were each left some toiletries to use during our stay, including shampoo and bubble bath.\u00a0 A lovely, luxury touch.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44530\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

started setting out its wonderful collection of Christmas decorations.\u00a0 Every year, we pick up a new decoration for our tree.\u00a0 When it comes to putting the decorations up, we remember each time we bought a new decoration and enjoy the memories.\u00a0 We were spoiled for choice, but opted for a small wooden Robin,<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44534\" style=\"width: 910px\"

pack up and leave Manor House Barn, which had been our wonderful holiday home for the previous few days.\u00a0 Before we did so, we got the opportunity to see the Electric Vehicle Charging Point being used.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_44535\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44535\"

parking spaces, the electric vehicle charge port has been installed solely for guests&#8217; use, free of charge overnight.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the barn is heated by a heat pump which extracts heat from water pumped up from 70m underground.\u00a0 All of the electricity is from renewable sources, partly from solar panels and partly from the grid.\u00a0 Excess electricity generated from the panels is put back into the grid.<\/p>\n<p>Even better, the logs for the fire are sourced locally from tree surgeons who are involved in the maintenance of mature trees and the establishment of new woodlands.<\/p>\n<h2>If I Had More Time, I Would&#8230;<\/h2>\n<h3>&#8230;Go on a Shawsgate Vineyard Tour.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44539\"
