This holiday cottage is one of a pair of converted barn conversions, hidden away in the beautiful Suffolk countryside in the grounds of Wolsey Farm, Yoxford, not far from the Suffolk Coast. The grounds of the Wolsey Farm include 3 acres of grassland with a chicken run for our six chickens and visitors are welcome to walk in the grounds and visit the animals and soak up nature in the beautifully landscaped Prairie Garden.
This self-catering cottage has been carefully restored to preserve the original character of the former cart lodge and has lots of natural light. The living areas have been stylishly furnished and there is a wood-burning stove for cosy holidays throughout the colder months.
Upstairs, there are two bedrooms: one with a 5' double bed and ensuite shower room, and the other bedroom with an ensuite with shower over the bath and zip and link beds which can be used as either a twin or double.
