Property code: OC-W32264

Surrounded by the peaceful charm of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths National Landscape, this delightful rural hideaway on the edge of Sudbourne is an excellent choice for nature lovers and their four-legged explorers. With sweeping countryside views, a private garden area, coastal walks and dog-friendly days out just around the corner, this is the perfect base for humans and hounds alike.

Set in a peaceful location just outside the village, this beautifully designed, wooden-clad holiday home has a reverse-level layout to make the most of its countryside setting. Downstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – sharing a stylish family bathroom. There’s also a cosy reading room with a sofa, a desk (handy if you’re squeezing in a little remote work), and a bookshelf full of good reads. Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner is the heart of the home. The modern kitchen comes with all the kit for rustling up anything from breakfast baps to post-walk dinners, while the dining table seats the whole pack. In the living area, you’ll find plush sofas, a Smart TV, and a wood burner that’s sure to be a hit with the hound. Outside, the garden is a mix of wildflowers, longer grasses and a winding mown path for curious noses to investigate. A patio with a table and chairs makes a great spot for al fresco dining, and private parking for one car is provided.

2 miles away lies the picturesque village of Orford, home to an impressive 12th-century castle, a famous oyster fishery and smokehouse, and riverside paths along the River Ore that are ideal for walkies with a view. A little further afield, the market town of Woodbridge (12 miles) offers riverside strolls, dog-welcoming cafes and the fascinating Anglo-Saxon site of Sutton Hoo.

Well Barn is in a lovely, quiet location with great views towards Orford Ness and across fields regularly frequented by hares. Its an easy walk down country lanes or across fields to Orford, and though the property itself could do with a few extra touches (some salt in the dishwasher, and instructions for the TV!), we really enjoyed our stay. The uRead morepside-down design works really well, and the shower is excellent. Note, the water is really hard, so buy bottled if you dont want scummy tea. Hide

We recently spent a lovely relaxing few days at Well Barn, the barn is in a lovely peaceful setting with fabulous dog walks right on the doorstep, you can walk right into woods and forests all on public footpaths. We were very lucky that no one was staying in the other property so it felt very private. The garden is not secure but that didnt causRead moree us any problems as our dog does not wander off. The views are spectacular from the upper living area and we saw plenty of wildlife. The barn is homely and comfortable and the kitchen is fairly well equipped. There is no big supermarket or shops locally so taking supplies is essential for your 1st day and we found that many local pubs only open at weekends. This is a perfect get away for peace and quiet and dog walkers the local area is beautiful and there is plenty to do and see. Hide

Beautiful part of Suffolk amazing views from the upstairs windows. If you enjoy peace, wildlife and walking this is a wonderful area to explore. There were a few issues with some of the kitchen equipment but overall we were very comfortable and had a great week.
