Red Poll Barn in Halesworth, Suffolk, is highly praised for its stylish comfort, beautiful views, and welcoming hosts. Guests enjoy the wildlife, the proximity to local attractions, and the peaceful environment. The property is well-equipped, clean, and offers a relaxing stay with thoughtful touches from the hosts.
Guests consistently mention the exceptional cleanliness of the property, describing it as 'exceptionally clean' and 'very clean', indicating a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.
The location is celebrated for its beautiful views and proximity to beaches and towns. Some guests note the busy nearby road, but overall, the location is deemed great for exploring Suffolk and enjoying the countryside.
The comfort of the beds and the overall accommodation is frequently highlighted. However, a few guests mention issues with the furniture being too low or deep, suggesting room for improvement for some visitors.
Facilities are generally described as 'spot on', with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of towels. There is a minor concern about window locks for guests with children, but the property is secure, and the facilities meet guests' needs.
Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful gestures, such as welcome packs and homemade jam. While these gifts are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed with every stay.
The stylish Living/Kitchen/Dining room is light and airy, ideal for socialising with friends and family. A bespoke well-equipped kitchen sits at one end, next to the dining area furnished with table and six chairs, with the comfortable sitting area next to the doors so you can make the most of the fresh air in the summer. Both bedrooms are beautifully furnished, one twin and the other king with the modern bathroom sitting between the two.
Ground Floor
You’re welcomed into a hall with all the rooms opening off it and a limed oak flooring running throughout, other than the bathroom which is tiled.
Kitchen/Living/Dining Room
A wonderful open plan space stretching to double doors opening onto the deck which sits over the moat with an adjacent pond with bi-fold windows along the side where you can sit and watch the wildlife; kingfishers, squirrels, and muntjac enjoying the moat.
The bespoke and well-equipped kitchen sits at one end with integrated Bosch electric oven, induction hob, extractor, under counter fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher, and freestanding microwave. A solid oak table with six chairs sits between the kitchen and living space which is furnished with a three-seater leather Chesterfield sofa with matching armchair and an Ercol rocking chair, plus occasional tables with lamps and a wall-mounted TV.
Master Bedroom
Wake to the dawn chorus with bi-fold windows opening onto the moat and woodland beyond. The bed is king-size with two bedside tables, a single wardrobe with drawers, and a ladder desk/dressing table with mirror and light.
Guest Bedroom
Again sitting quietly at the back of the property with windows over the moat; furnished with twin beds with under bed storage and handsome metal drawer unit.

Outside
Red Poll Barn sits next to another self-catering cottage, Milk Parlour, which can be booked in conjunction to accommodate six guests. There's an additional holiday property opposite, Rookyards making it a great option for friends and family, although the dining and sitting areas aren't big enough for all ten guests to congregate comfortably.
This stunning self-catering holiday home is surrounded by countryside with an abundance of wildlife including muntjac deer, bats, badgers, squirrels and many birds for you to identify from the comfort of your own private south facing sun deck which overlooks the moat with a wooden bridge across to the woodland and the pond just next door – an idyllic spot to sit with a good book or simply watch the wildlife. There’s outdoor furniture and a BBQ for you to use if you enjoy eating al fresco.
The owners are happy for you to wander around almost two acres of their stunning moated gardens and grounds. For the ultimate in relaxation, guests can bring their rods and fish for rudd and perch in the pond.
Please note there is a washing machine available for guests use in the outhouse (this is a communal washing machine, shared with two other properties)
