About this property
Just a short distance from the popular town of Southwold, 1 Long Barn is a beautiful, contemporary, newly converted barn set in a tranquil, rural environment with uninterrupted views over surrounding countryside.
This property offers light, spacious accommodation with luxurious furnishings throughout and is the perfect setting for friends and family to unwind and relax. An open-plan kitchen, dining, living area provides all you need to prepare meals, socialise and enjoy the magnificent surroundings. Bi-fold doors lead to a generous garden with seating.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms. The master bedroom includes a balcony overlooking the fields, so you can gaze out at the big skies that Suffolk is famous for.

This is truly a sanctuary of luxurious calm.

The Barn is in a beautiful location surrounded by open fields with plenty of wildlife to see. It was a pleasure to wake up and see the deer, rabbits, partridges and other wildlife from the patio window every morning. The Barn is spacious and decorated to a very high standard with beautiful furnishings. I would recommend 1 Long Barn,this is the best accommodation we have stayed in.

A great house to base ourselves in for the week. We love the layout and the pool table. The sofa was lush! Visited Aldeburgh, Snape, Sutton Hoo, Africa Alive &Beccles for kayaking. Highly recommend Twyfords cafe for a post kayak lunch. It's been a lovely relaxing week. Super location and great views
