Church Farm Barn

It’s not always easy to find a property for seven guests (three couples and one single) that provides top-quality accommodation for everyone.

I’m pleased to say that Church Farm Barn met our requirements with flying colours. Not only that but we found the communal spaces to be ideal for our uses. We particularly enjoyed the courtyard that catches the sun at the end of the afternoon. We cooked for ourselves on several evenings and found the kitchen equal to our needs. Church Farm Barn is ideally situated with the beach and the pub just minutes walk away and convenient for local attractions like Southwold, Minsmere and Westleton Heath. We really enjoyed our stay in Dunwich and would happily use Church Farm Barn again.

The property was perfect for the 10 of us.

6 adults and 4 children plus 2 small dogs. Great location for walking the dogs, walking to beach and pub. The 2 girls loved the small bedroom upstairs. Would happily return as great base for exploring Suffolk. My only negative was with Sykes when trying to ask a few simple questions about the property the week before we arrived. These could have been passed to the owners to answer. So very unhelpful. Shame as in the past with bookings, Sykes offered better communication.

Lovely property and excellent location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Church Barn Farm was everything we had hoped for and more.

Our party of eight were delighted with the spotlessly clean property and found it very comfortable. It is generously outfitted with plenty of crockery, masses of glassware, table ware and a beautiful fitted kitchen. The owner had thought of everything from a sturdy high chair to an extension cable and even a large book and games collection in the TV/playroom. We watched the World Cup from comfy couches or chatted in the huge living room. There was even an EV charger for my plug in hybrid. We’ll be back!

It was really lovely accommodation.

Bedrooms big all with en-suites.The barn had 2 lounge areas but television was in the smaller one which is not ideal when there are 10 people there.Outside was lovely with ample seating,umbrellas and a games room with table tennis table. Parking was really good and short walk to pub and beach.

A beautiful property which was perfect for 4 adult couples, complete with all en-suite bedrooms and excellent facilities.

We had a lovely stay with a large family group of 3 generations.

The property was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was good and very quick responses. Once we mastered the hob we were ok, we couldn’t find the manual, that is a very small thing in terms of the overall stay which was amazing. We loved the small walk to the beach and the little museum down the road. We would recommend this property, it was quite and relaxing and had everything we needed.

Excellent family break enjoyed by all.

The table tennis table was a roaring success for the youngsters. If we had one very minor point it would be there was nowhere in the shower to put your shampoo or shower gel , just a little niggle. Would use the property again without hesitation and the area was very pleasant

The barn was easy to find and had plenty of parking, as we could also use the area through the next gate too.

Great layout with the four large , equal sized, ensuite bedrooms located on the ground floor plus a smaller room up some stairs, and a separate downstairs loo! One bedroom had a bath which was great for bathing little ones. All super comfy with good linen and plenty of soft towels. We loved the two lounges, the bigger one having no TV which was great for chatting and playing games! The snug offered plenty of Chesterton seating plus the TV. The kitchen was very well equipped with great fridge and cooking facilities plus loads of crockery and glassware. The courtyard was lovely but we had unseasonally chilly weather so wasn't used much. The location is perfect - although I'd recommend a shopping delivery as there are no big shops closed by. The Ship and beach are a short walk, plus loads of footpaths and heathland all close at hand. We also loved walberswick beach just 10 mins away. It was also really lovely to be able to see deer and rabbits from the window! Overall, beautiful location and a fantastic venue for our 8 adults, 2 x 2 year olds plus my dog! We loved it!

Church Farm Barn was home from home, in fact better!

! It was spacious for our 3 generation celebration. The 2 lounges offered everyone some space and the large kitchen a wonderful place to gather. The facilities were great and the utensils plentiful. It didn't matter if the dishwasher was running as there was still plenty of everything for the 10 of us. We all loved sitting around the big table eating, playing games and just being together. The beds were a dream and wonderful not to have to queue for the bathroom. Even though we were pleasantly surprised by good weather the lovely outside area wasn't used much due to a chilly wind. However, it was still great for an Easter egg hunt. The table tennis was important with 2 boys but we were so busy out and about that it wasn't used as much as I expected. So another time! Great to be able to walk to a pub and the beach and even as far as Westleton. The only criticism would be that the 5 bar gate needs some meshing over it as our small 4 legged friend could get through and one day he saw a deer and ran around the house and onto the drive next door. So a small gate at the side would make the patio more secure. We would highly recommend this property and would love to come again but so many places to visit.

We had a wonderful time staying at Church Farm Barn for my partners 60th.

8 adults and 3 little ones there was plenty of space for us all and we found everything to be even better than described - the barn is MASSIVE! We would definitely return and there wasn't a thing which we thought could be improved, everything you need is there for a big family trip. Thanks for having us!

Lovely place to stay, excellent quality bedding and towels, very comfortable and relaxing.

Nice little walk down to Dunwich beach.

We enjoyed our stay at Church Farm Barn , only a short walk to the beach and heathland for great walks.

, the place was very nicely decorated,very looked brand new, plenty of room for us all. The kitchen was enormous, double ovens but we did find the electric hob tricky to use and it would have been helpful to have an instruction manual to hand. Plenty of hot soft water for baths and showers ever been anywhere with water so soft. . Beds very large and comfortable . Unfortunately the garden / courtyard was not really enclosed apart from the gate on to the road so we had to keep them on leads at all times

We stayed at Church Farm Barn for our early family Christmas.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. The facilities were great - everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were! Everything was clean and the house was comfortably warm for the time of year. Would highly recommend as couldn’t fault a thing!

Very large warm comfortable property We had everything we needed, PowerPoint where needed,mirrors and even hooks on some doors .

Plenty of cutlery and China Even lots of dishwasher tablets and tea towels .The only thing we would have liked was,another tv as we all had different taste in programme s All in all very nice

Just returned from a fantastic stay at Church Farm Barn.

. lovely accommodation, comfortable bedrooms, all ensuite.. well equipped kitchen and plenty of space to relax.

Lovely property which is well equipped for a large family group.

A second TV in the large lounge would be good. The toilet seat in the first bedroom on the right needs mending and a ceiling light is out on the stairway to the twin bedroom. Great location and fine local pub. We would stay again.

Fantastic property in every way, will definitely stay again.

What a lovely place to stay for a quite relaxing stay.

The property was so well equipped, they really thought of everything. Local residents, pubs and restaurants along with the wonderful scenery and beautiful beach were wonderful. Would highly recommend and would definitely revisit Church Barn again. Thank you

The property is in a great location, spacious, comfortable and great for a family weekend away together.

Fantastic, modern beautifully appointed accommodation in a stunning village right next to the sea.

Hard to ask for more! Would highly recommend for any family or friends gathering.

Really nice place to stay with a well equipped kitchen and thought through layout.

Comfortable clean and quiet.

Great place, quality appliances, well stocked with everything you need.

You can put all crockery, for nine people, in the dishwasher and still have enough dishes for a further nine. The place itself is well maintained, very friendly people from Tori who told us where to find the cutlery to the maintance man who tried to help fix our car when it hit a pothole. Over the years our group has stayed in many large self catering establishments, some good, some not so good, but without doubt this is the best one. It's spacious, with lots of home comforts, I can highly recommed Church Farm Barn

Excellent accommodation in beautiful surroundings.

Every little detail has been thought of from a kitchen with every utensil/cooking facilities you coukd possibly need to a table tennis table. We had a fantastic Easter weekend.

This is a perfect place for a larger family holiday in a beautiful part of the Suffolk coast.

The house is really well laid out with all the main bedrooms with their own on suite bathrooms. Beautiful large kitchen/dining area, TV room and lounge. All kitchen equipment, towels and bedding are of good quality too. We've had a lovely relaxing week, thanks.

This is a fabulous property, it is of a very high standard with everything required & more to make it feel like home from home, lots of kitchen accessories, cutlery & crockery & a fab dishwasher to do all the work!

All four downstairs bedrooms with en suites are fab. The location is an absolute delight, you can park you car & not have to use it all week with the numerous & varied local walks from the barn itself, there are woodlands, heathland & beach walks on the doorstep. The Ship Inn is a 10 minute walk away with good selection of ales & good food. We will be back!

Our group covered 3 generations with ages ranging from 2 to 73 & this was perfect accommodation to celebrate my wife’s 70th birthday.

Clean & spacious with 4 en-suites & plenty of room in the lounge, separate tv room & large kitchen diner for us all to spread out. The added bonus now of an EV charger which was used by two of our cars (cash left for electricity). Only a 15 minutes stroll to Dunwich beach & The Ship with loads of other lovely walks on the doorstep. Superb holiday.

Loved the house, our 2nd visit and thank you for the lovely Christmas decorations.

The house was warm, comfortable and clean. It’s perfect for extended families and the area is great for the beach, pub and walks. It’s a shame there’s no second tv in the main living room but otherwise all was great. Apart from a desperate need for some more larger saucepans!

Beautiful converted barn in lovely village of Dunwich.

Very comfortable and well equipped. Perfect position for exploring the East coast of Suffolk or for just walking in the local area. Very welcoming on arrival and we had a really lovely stay over the New Year.

Lovely spacious, well equipped and warm home.

Plenty of room for 9 adults to relax, eat together and enjoy a stay in a wet blustery December. We did have 2 power cuts due to storm Darragh (one lasted 4 hours) but the candles supplied in the Chest of drawers in the hall proved a great help. We actually enjoyed the candlelight. No complaints.

Such an amazing property in a beautiful area.

We had a wonderful time. Five friends on their yearly girls trip. The house had everything we needed. Only 2 small comments - some slightly bigger mugs would’ve been nice & the shower dials in the first bedroom were very stiff but otherwise it was perfect. Thank you to the owner for letting us use their property & for the welcome items & to the housekeeper for maintaining the house to a high standard. Would highly recommend

Church Farm Barn is a fabulous rental property and we had the best time in this lovely house.

As a group of 8 (4 couples) it was perfect in size having 4 en-suite bedrooms, a large kitchen/diner, a separate TV room and a large lounge. Everything was modern and spotless. We loved the area as it was peaceful, with beautiful walks on the beach 5 mins from the house, a great local pub and within easy reach of Southwold and Aldeburgh by car. We would highly recommend it.

All rooms well presented.

Everything that was needed was there Kitchen well equipped. Three families we had a great time Beach nearby RSPB minsmere great to visit walks from the property easy for all

This was perfect for our group of 10 adults.

Great location and plenty of space for socialising/dining. Very well equipped kitchen.

Great property in a wonderful location.

Just 5 minutes walk from the pub & about 8 minutes to the beach. Very well equipped with everything we wanted. Comfortable beds and everything spotlessly clean. The hob is a bit complicated & couldn’t find the instructions. We got there in the end though! Would definitely recommend a stay here.

No mention off electric charging.

Microwave was a bit high.

A lovely property, however, it hadn’t been cleaned properly, all the floors needed a good hoover and mop.

Some of the toilets needed cleaning has well. The beds all had memory foam mattresses which were not comfortable for all our group, especially those with back problems. The TV room was too small for everybody to sit together and watch a movie The paint peeled in one of the shower rooms straight after a shower No waste bins in the bedrooms The utility room was very small, it was a real struggle to get all the washing out of the dryer The dining table chairs were very uncomfortable to sit on, could have done with cushions or chair pads It’s a really lovely property, the things listed above, are minor in context. But would have made the stay a lot more enjoyable

First class accommodation in a beautiful area.

The accommodation has been very thoughtfully planned and is ideal for a party of 9 or 10. Super spacious kitchen and dining room, snugly tv room, large relaxing lounge with oodles of space, four beautiful bedrooms all with en-suites, and an upstairs twin bedroom ideal for the kids or teenagers with its own downstairs shower and toilet. Large entrance hall for all your foot ware and a laundry room to keep you clean. Superb design with private well equipped courtyard and games room to keep you amused. My family of three generations could not have asked for more. Add on the brilliant location with multiple walks from your doorstep, a pub and cafe down the road, plus the beach 10 mins walk away makes this place the best ever.

Fabulous, spacious, clean property…en-suite rooms a real bonus.

Ideal location, near the beach, near a pub, cafes and off road walks. Our only issue was not having the tv in the larger of the two sitting rooms. There was only just enough room for 8 of us to sit and watch tv in the smaller lounge. Had the house been at full occupancy (10) it would not have worked. But apart from that the property was perfect for our needs.

Fantastic property, outstanding facilities.

Had a wonderful few days although the weather could have been kinder.

Excellent venue for 5 couples, although the upstairs bedroom is a little cramped.

Beautiful, well-equipped kitchen and two spacious lounge areas as well as outdoor seating for all, both at a dining table and on comfy furniture. Brick BBQ too in the secluded courtyard. Minor issue quickly dealt with and only things missing were slip mats in bath/shower areas. Can thoroughly recommend.

Excellent and luxurious property and very well appointed.

Three small niggles: 1. The window/doors in the kitchen/dining area need safety markings. As the windows extend down to the floor and when the doors are open, it is not easy to tell which is which - especially if you are carrying things. 2. The induction hob is quite a complex piece of kit and unfortunately the instructions for use have gone missing. 3. It is rather annoying that the extractor fan in each bathrooms is operated by the door being opened rather than by the light being switched on.

This is a great place for a large family holiday.

It has all been thought out really well and finished to a very high standard. It’s spacious and comfortable with en suite bathrooms for all the main bedrooms. Lovely outside seating area too. The location is perfect for dog walks on the beach and many footpaths right from the doorstep. We have had a brilliant holiday and have booked again for next Easter.

Loved this house, we stay in Dunwich every year and have done for years and this house is amazing.

The little touches are very welcomed. Will be rebooking x

A beautifully appointed property.

It is obvious that a lot of time, effort, care and money has gone into the design, decor and equipping of the property. It is ideal for a large group and unusual to find somewhere that has 4 large double bedrooms all with their own en suite. Great location with numerous walks nearby, a long uncrowded beach, nice pub a short walk away We shall definitely be returning Can’t recommend too highly

House was exquisite and set in a beautiful location.

Amazing!
