Relax and unwind at Doves Barn, the perfect country retreat that offers timeless elegance twinned with modern luxury. A haven for those looking for a serene country escape but ideally situated to explore the delightful towns and villages of rural Suffolk, this is a truly magical place to stay where you can discover an unspoilt corner of rural Suffolk and all it has to offer.

This converted 16th-century barn near Needham Market in Suffolk has been lovingly renovated to a high standard, while retaining all the original timbers and features. Guests here can enjoy sumptuous surroundings, large windows, chandeliers, and high ceilings, plus luxurious touches like roll-top baths, four-poster beds and underfloor heating. While the glow from the wood burners may lend a historic atmosphere, the facilities here are very much of the 21st century.

Set in two acres of grounds, there's plenty to keep guests occupied – a large hot tub in its own courtyard studio, giant Connect 4 and Garden Jenga, plus croquet on the lawn, while two large patios and a spacious courtyard are ideal for al fresco dining and BBQs. There's also a pool table and other games for rainy days.

This spacious barn, sleeping 22 guests all under one roof, is the ideal location for a group getaway, whether you’re getting the girls together, gathering extended family, or celebrating a special birthday or anniversary. And there’s ample room to join in the party or enjoy your own space if you fancy a break from the festivities.

The property is conveniently situated to visit the Museum of East Anglian Life, Bury St Edmunds, Long Melford, Lavenham, Kersey and the unspoilt delights of the Suffolk Heritage Coast including Aldeburgh, Dulwich, Walberswick, Southwold and the ancient site of Sutton Hoo. The owners of Doves Barn can pass on details of local caterers and the many nearby activities on offer.
