Property code: OC-BIL

Beautifully presented to a very high standard, this spacious property forms the perfect space for large families or groups of 12 in a scenic area of Suffolk. Located in the quaint village of Knodishall, this striking barn conversion offers something for everyone including proximity to popular seaside towns, lakeside walks and pub lunch dining. Relax in front of either of the wood burners or get competitive on the tennis court.

Consisting of two adjoining properties, walk into the barn and be blown away by the vast and spectacular lounge which features many sofa spaces for your family and four-legged friends to nestle with a movie or two. With open-planned seating and a roaring wood burner, there’s plenty of cosy space for socialising and gathering around for a drink or two. Fido and Fifi are sure to enjoy dozing off in front of the glow of the firelight before following you to the well-equipped kitchen where you can rustle up some tasty treats. When it’s time to hit the hay, a ground-floor king-size bedroom invites you to snuggle, while upstairs, five further bedrooms are featured including three king-size (one with a private en-suite) and two further pretty twin rooms. After sleeping like a log, let the pups out for a morning sniff on the private patios or play fetch on the shared grassy space - perfect for kids and pooches to run free.

You’ll be like a dog with two tails at the number of walking routes available from this gorgeous barn. Wander straight from your doorstep or drive 3 miles from the property to the colourful seaside town of Aldeburgh, complete with a vast pebble beach, lots of independent shops and dog-friendly pubs for those memorable lunches with the family. To walk in the literary footsteps of JM Barrie, take in the magical inspiration from the Peter Pan-inspired lake at Thorpeness, which sits 2.5 miles away from the property.

This is a great location to visit a great many places. The barns were very clean and well furnished. We did have issues with heating and hot water in one of the barns but the owner came and rectified this for us. We rented both barns which catered well for having a holiday with the whole family as plenty of space.

We were 4 generations of a family and booked both barns for our stay. The two adjourning barns worked perfectly. Arrival and entry simple with plenty of parking available. Both barns were spotlessly clean, spacious and well equipped with all the necessary equipment and amenities for our stay. The gem here is that the East Barn has a table extenderRead more allowing us all to eat together. The West Barn has a downstairs double bedroom with access to bathroom which includes a walk in shower which was perfect for 92 year old great grandparents. We all had an amazing stay and would definitely look to book again in the future. Hide

Five star accommodation. Houses sorted us and location was nice. Very quiet and ample parking. Plenty of open space for children and nice court yard gardens in the houses.

We stayed at Billeasford Barn this month for 3 nights and it was such a wonderful place to stay. There were 11 of us for an 80th birthday celebration and a mix of ages from 3 to 80. 6 adults and the toddler stayed in one Barn and 4 in the adjoining Barn. Both Barns were so clean and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Helpful instructiRead moreons for the appliances and milk and fresh apple juice along with tea and coffee was waiting for us. Adjoining patio areas made if feel like we were all together without being crammed in. I would highly recommend staying here and it was great value for money. A beautiful place to spend such a special birthday Hide

This cottage was lovely, a great place for new year for a group of friends, plenty of space and just what we wanted for a getaway. Great that the table could be extended so all of us could eat together, and the space for babies to sleep while adults stayed up was perfect.

Excellent extended family stay for the Christmas period. Well equipped, clean, dog friendly and the layout of the two homes worked well for us with ages from 14 to 86 and a dog! Great way to make lasting memories. Excellent location not far from excellent beaches or Thorpeness. Would also recommend the farm shop that was close by. Thank you for hRead moreaving us. We had a blast and would recommend without hesitation. Wed love to return to explore the area further. Hide
