Perched upon the edge of the River Alde, this single-storey barn conversion has been converted to a high standard and is nestled within the grounds of a horse-riding stables. This gorgeous base is perfect for the family and four-legged friends to explore the stunning landscape of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Packed with wildlife and endless footpaths to wander, this cottage is a great spot for kids and dogs alike.

As you head inside, a bright and open-plan living/kitchen/diner awaits, brilliant for socialising with all the family. Fitted with homely touches such as a wood-burner effect gas fire, striking wooden beams and cosy sofas and armchairs, it makes the ideal location for winding down with your pooch. When it’s time to let sleeping dogs rest, make your way to one of the three inviting bedrooms - one king-size and two singles - which all offer plenty of comfort as well as a well-equipped family bathroom. For quiet days in, savour home cooking and sit alfresco in the adjacent patio area which is complemented by charming forest views.

Wonderful location right by the river. Lovely walks and views. Lambings was perfect for my elderly mother to stay in, being all on one level. Very well designed and converted agricultural building with all the facilities we needed. Really quiet, but handy for Snape and Aldeburgh.
