“Great breakfast, great place, great hosts” Jay Rayner”.
Combining the best of both worlds we enjoy a quiet rural location on the very edge of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yet just a short walk from the beautiful coastline and the seaside towns of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness.
Contemporary Bed and Breakfast in Suffolk…
Centred around a nineteenth century barn (albeit now brought very much into the 21st Century) our five guest suites are set within a new shingle- clad extension. Each room enjoys a dramatic, light-filled full height space with access into the garden and an individual decking area on which to while away the day.
Stay with us either for ‘bed and breakfast’ or take over the whole place to enjoy with your family and friends (we can comfortably sleep ten to twelve).
Explore five acres of garden and woodland or sit out and relax in your own private seating area. Watch the rabbits and pheasant and if you are lucky enough you might catch sight of Muntjac deer, woodcock or even slow worms.

YOUR STAY
We want you to feel entirely at home when you stay at Five Acre Barn –
Read the papers in the Barn, fix yourself a drink from our ‘honesty bar’, settle down with a book in the garden, huddle round the fire pit, test your knowledge of the Milky Way or, if you are feeling energetic, grab a towel and take a cross country stroll to the beach.

LOCAL AREA
The Suffolk coast has so much to offer – unspoilt beaches, stunning wildlife, world class arts, picturesque villages –
and as one of England’s driest sunniest counties provides the weather in which to enjoy them. As relative newcomers ourselves, we have been busy exploring – seeking out the best walks, tastiest fish and chips, the cosiest pubs. We also keep our ear to the ground to share what is going on locally that guests might otherwise miss.

OUR STORY
