“A lovely relaxing week in a fabulous barn conversion, being the first occupants, everything was perfect, loads to see in the area & so relaxing, will definitely be back”
“We have had the most amazing week thank you, having our daughter and 3 year old grandson for half the week was so lovely. Our two doggies had a wonderful time too, we have already booked for next year."
"Myself, my husband and daughter and granddaughter had the most delightful stay at Manor House Barn Peasenhall. The Barn was spectacular, so beautifully decorated and had everything anyone could possibly need. It was amazing and not far from many or our favourite places like, Aldeburgh, Snape and Orford to name a few. It was situated right in the heart of the countryside, so peaceful and tranquil we could have stayed for ever. Jeremy, the owner, was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We didn’t see much of him but he made himself readily available by text for any queries or advice (or great tips on pubs). I would give the whole experience 5 stars plus. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Brilliant."
You know you're somewhere special the moment you step into the oak framed barn with massive vaulted living room, giving a fantastic open plan space for socialising at any time of the year - cosy wood burner for the winter and easy access to the patio for the summer months! Sleeping in the stunning galleried bedroom is certainly a unique experience for most guests and, for those who prefer more privacy, there's a second enclosed bedroom on the ground floor, next to the chic modern bathroom with luxuriously deep bath and walk-in shower.
The barn has an enclosed lawn with private terrace running along the back where you can enjoy meals in the fresh air, surrounded Suffolk countryside.
