We have just had a wonderful long weekend break at Doves Barn celebrating a large multi-generational family get-together.The property is so vast, that our group of 13 adults and 4 children had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy this beautiful house. The children in particular had great fun exploring all the nooks and crannies of this grand property. The very large garden has several separate patio areas which was perfect for our group to split up for conversation. The children loved the hot tub and there is a wide variety of games equipment as well.There are lots of places to visit within a 30 minute drive. We visited Dedham and had a very relaxing walk along the Stour to Flatford Mill and back. I can thoroughly recommend Doves Barn, especially for a large group.

Doves barn is a very spacious 17th century barn conversion with abundance of character. Set in a very large sunny garden with lots of seating areas to choose from so ideal for large families or friends. 2 large comfy lounges with stoves (although we rarely used as such lovely weather). Bedrooms are spacious & some downstairs so ideal for elderly or children (one of the bedrooms has a double bunkbed and 3 singles). My only criticism was the amount of unnecessary repetitive rules & notices in every room - as this spoilt the ‘home from home’ experience that we were hoping for.
