The cottage is beautiful. Clean, pretty and very comfortable. Loved the hot tub too. It was lovely to call Jimmy’s Barn home for the week.

Perfect in every way. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated throughout, couldn’t wait to get back and sit in front of the wood burner after a day out! The barn is located in a beautiful area of Suffolk and will definitely be returning. Prosecco and cookies were very much appreciated - thank you! The basket for furry visitors was a lovely touch and helpful. Thanks again for a lovely stay.

What a find. Myself, my best friend and our two dogs stayed in this stunning barn. I cannot say anything but amazing things about this property. Simply breathtaking. We had the most wholesome weekend. The place was fully kitted out to an extremely high standard and even had a doggy basket with blankets and treats. The enclosed garden had us at ease with letting the dogs out and having access to a beautiful field to walk the dogs just out of the gate was an added bonus. We made great use of the hot tub in the evenings. The log burner on the cooler evenings had us feel in total comfort. We wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you Ian & Wendy!
