Sitting along the outskirts of the picturesque village of Wangford, this delightful hideaway is perfect for couples seeking a quiet bolthole in a lovely part of the Suffolk countryside. With plenty of space for two guests and one canine pal, the single-level former barn has been lovingly converted to provide relaxing holiday accommodation. Decorated in cool neutral tones throughout, this sweet and cosy retreat is ideally situated for exploring the beautiful beaches and quaint villages of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Stepping into this airy retreat the cheerful lounge/diner features comfortable seating so you can snuggle up in the evening to watch a favourite movie, and a dining table over by the side of the room, ideal for sharing a romantic meal together. The bright, fully equipped kitchen is stylishly arranged, with a useful additional breakfast table. Exploring this pretty barn conversion further, there’s a handy utility room and a refreshing shower room with a skylight allowing light to stream in. Finally, at the end of a great day you can head through to the cosy bedroom which features a lovely double bed. Going outside, the sheltered and private garden is fully enclosed, with outdoor furniture and plenty of space for your pet to exercise as you sit back to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining.

The village of Wangford is home to a farm shop and a traditional pub, and is surrounded by miles of wonderful dog-walking paths and trails. Dogs are welcome at a number of local beaches including Covehithe, Walberswick, Kessingland and Dunwich, all within 8 miles. The bustling seaside town of Southwold (4 miles) has a dog-friendly pier and a choice of great pubs, cafes and restaurants, or you can head north to the popular resort of Lowestoft (12.5 miles).

We had a lovely stay in the cottage and managed to spend some time in the garden despite the poor weather. We were made extremely welcome by the owner. The well stocked farm shop is well worth visiting.

We found The Workshop to be lovely and clean, the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The towels were lovely and soft and the bed was comfortable. Ideally situated just a couple of miles from Southwold with a dog friendly beach. We very much enjoyed our stay and having the farm shop next door is a bonus.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hill Farm "Workshop". Very roomy, comfortable and well equipped. Although the Southwold - Wangford road runs past the property we weren't disturbed. If we holiday again in Suffolk we would certainly look for availability
