Property code: OC-T7463

Set in the small village of Butley and surrounded by tranquil countryside, this elegant barn conversion makes a wonderful base for your Suffolk adventures. Eight humans and two lucky pups have the run of this property, which features an open-plan living area and an enclosed grassy garden with a patio for dining alfresco. After fun-filled days exploring quaint Suffolk towns, unspoiled beaches and historic sites, this rural idyll is the ideal spot to rest and recharge.

Arranged over two storeys, this magnificent barn has been lovingly converted and equipped to provide a comfortable home from home. A thatched roof and exposed wooden beams add character, while tiled floors downstairs make it easy to deal with the odd muddy pawprint. The open-plan living area is ideal for socialising and entertaining, while your playful pups will love having the entire pack in one place. Rustle up meals in the contemporary kitchen, gather around the dining table to feast, then get cosy on the huge sofa to watch a film or just enjoy quality time together. Doors lead to the patio and mature garden, where you can savour a BBQ while the pups play on the lawn (keep the BBQ 4-5 metres from the property due to the thatched roof). Four spacious bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep. Choose between two double bedrooms on the ground floor that share the family shower room, or head upstairs where you’ll find a king-size room with use of the family bathroom and a super-king-size zip-and-link with an en-suite shower room.

Set within the Suffolk Coast & Heath National Landscape, the surrounding countryside offers ample stick-chasing opportunities. The picturesque town of Orford makes a wonderful day out. History-loving hounds can explore the castle with their humans, while the quay and famous smoked fish shop is sure to set noses twitching.

  • 3 bedrooms - 1 super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made up as twin beds on request), 1 king-size, 1 double
  • 3 bathrooms - 1 wet room with WC on the ground floor, 1 en-suite shower and WC, and 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC

  • Enclosed garden with outside seating and charcoal BBQ (The BBQ must be kept 4-5 metres away from the building due to the thatched roof)

Wonderful venue, very clean, beautiful designed and in perfect location for things to do and wonderful forest walks. Ok for 6 people but probably a bit tight in living space for 8 people. Had absolutely everything you needed. Little welcome touch by the owner was lovely

We enjoyed our stay at the Pottery Barn. However it is sold as a four bedroom, three bathroom property, but the two double bedrooms downstairs are really,really tiny and so this is rather misleading. The space is too confined for eight people and there is very little storage. The shower room downstairs leaked badly and requires upgrading and thRead moree other bathrooms are rather tired. The kitchen equipment is good and apart from there only being six mugs for eight people, the crockery etc was also good. Hide

Cottage is comfortable, well-situated and has a good amount of space for a party of eight. Everything we needed was in the kitchen.
