Surrounded by Butley''s rich nature and history, this beautifully converted barn brimming with character offers a serene escape to families and groups of friends who love walking, hiking and cycling the great outdoors. Spend days discovering Suffolk’s charm before returning for an al fresco feast using the charcoal BBQ that awaits at this thatched haven.

Sympathetic to its original features, boasting exposed beams and large picture windows, the barn’s open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner perfectly blends rich heritage with homely touches.
