We stayed at the Threshing Barn with our grown up family to celebrate my big birthday. Truly fabulous property, decorated to a very high standard. All amenities provided, you couldnt possibly ask for more. Helen made us extremely welcome and left us an excellent bundle of goodies on arrival (including bread and milk) which was very much appreciatedRead more and enjoyed. Super location too, very rural and secluded. Village has a lovely restaurant (The Fox and Goose) which is within easy walking distance, excellent food and service and more fancy than a pub. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this place and may well return with friends in the near future. Hide

It is in a great location to explore the Suffolk coast and there is plenty to do inRead more the surrounding area. The property overlooks fields at the back and it was lovely to watch the hares hopping about in the early evening. There's plenty of outdoor seating available too. It's so peaceful and a great place to relax. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you stay here. We will definitely be back in the future. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at The Threshing Barn during the Easter holidays and wouldnt hesitate to go back. The barn was incredibly spacious - particularly the dining area - wow!

A fantastic property. We literally couldnt fault our stay, the barn is immaculate, very well equipped and comfortable throughout. The table tennis was a hit too! The owners of the barn couldnt have been more helpful and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely look to stay here again one day and highly recommend it.
