Absolutely loved our break at Barn Owl Cottage. The most comfortable holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Spotlessly clean and everything we needed. A great view over the paddocks with magnificent horses and a plethora of farm animals. You could just sit in the and watch. A great peaceful break. A ideal base for visiting the likes of Orford, Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo and, our favourite, Aldeborough. We have already booked for next year.

Barn Owl Cottage was exactly as described, immaculately presented with every thing I needed for a weeks stay. Very peaceful and relaxing, and despite being in the centre of a working farm the only sounds I heard were from the horses. Highly recommended.
