    We last came here in 2020 and it’s still as beautiful four years on. Don’t hesitate to book here.

  • Elizabeth

    The barn is very spacious, comfortable and clean. We would like to come back for another stay here and would recommend to everyone. The host is very helpful if you need anything and kindly left us wine and cake!

    Pure luxury in lovely countryside with excellent off road parking for more than the 3 cars we had in our group of 3 elderly couples. Everything in Looms Barn is top quality and there is a full range of kitchen equipment and tools. It's just like a permanent home with all the comforts. One minor frustration was the technology installed which us oldies found challenging. Despite there being instructions provided for all the high-end appliances and the sky connected TV we experienced problems using them. We needed to have a 14 year old with us to sort it. Even the lighting is electronically controlled with a panel of buttons on each wall to control the lights rather that simple switches. I hasten tto add, this is not a criticism because most of us are more than 80 years old and we have not kept up with technology. We had a most enjoyable holiday in mixed weather and got out each day to various places of interest. Those like us who are interested in history must visit Sutton Hoo to be reminded of how advanced the Anglo-Saxons were in manufacturing techniques and the burial mounds.. Woodbridge is a nice town 15 minutes away by car with some interesting small shops. The ladies were pleased to find M &S Food and a large Tesco a short drive away. We ate and drank well.
