This splendid barn conversion is a real 'get away from it all' in a wonderful rural setting, with a stylish modern interior making this spacious property an excellent retreat for couples and families wanting something special in a tranquil setting. The wooden panelled walls give the home a cosy cabin feel which combines beautifully with some chic furnishings and minimalist colour schemes to create the ultimate Scandi-style hideaway. Couples will relish whiling away the days on the large terrace and exploring the local landscape with its abundance of wildlife. Catch the deer out grazing at sunset and the red kites soaring above in the sunshine. Families may want to explore the seaside resorts a short 22-mile drive away. Chose Aldeburgh with its pretty seafront, galleries and boutiques or enjoy the unique and eccentric seaside resort of Thorpeness with its wonderful iconic boating lake, windmill and water tower. Closer to home, Needham Market is a lovely town for a romantic stroll through a conservation area with impressive historic architecture, or enjoy a peaceful walk around the lake. The hall at Helmingham, 3 miles away, is surrounded by beautifully designed gardens and a moat, and is a fantastic place for all generations to explore. The majestic house sits within grounds home to red deer and has a lovely tearoom for a quintessentially British afternoon slice of cake.  Jimmy's Farm and Wildlife park is also a great day out for the whole family.

Step inside this holiday home straight into a lovely, bright and open space with a Scandi farmhouse style throughout. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has a touch of luxury and a beautiful minimal colour scheme with the odd splash of bright colour giving it a boutique hotel feel. The light wooden panelling combined with the stylish wood burner adds an extra touch of cosiness. There is a well-equipped kitchen area and a dining table next to the large bi-fold doors. Have your morning coffee with the doors wide open to fully immerse yourself in the serene vistas. The king-size bedroom has a comfy iron frame bed, airy and spacious high ceilings and pretty views across the garden. The second bedroom also has high ceilings and the light floods in from the large window into this cosy snug space. The cool designer feel also continues into the modern shower room with its large, fashionably tiled shower and well-finished design.

Outside in the spacious garden area is a large patio with dining furniture great for an evening meal al fresco. There is also garden furniture made for a day of lounging in the sunshine. Read a book, listen to the birds and take it slow in this wonderful tranquil haven away from it all. And when the sun has set and the swifts have flown by, have a cosy huddle round the firepit and listen out for some nocturnal neighbours including owls and bats in the fields beyond.

Just returned from a week at the Cowshed. A lovely quiet location yet not far from town/coast etc. An unusual, quality property quipped to a very high standard with everything you could possibly need. Very dog friendly, from the doggy treats, bowl, towel, lovely dog bed to the large private outdoor space that was totally secure and very clean/tidy.Read more Footpaths straight from the door led off in all directions so there was no shortage of lovely walks with the dog. Plenty of places to explore locally and most are dog friendly. All in all a superb week. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful and I would definitely go back/recommend to others (in fact I already have!) Hide

Owners have created a marvellously relaxing space at the Cowshed. The garden is large and secure for dogs and children, and the place is dead quiet at night ... Exactly what we needed to get a break from London life. Comfy beds and deep dreams await!

Our second stay at The Cowshed and hopefully not our last. Such a well designed high quality property in the most peaceful location. Perfect for dog walks from the door step and for exploring the Suffolk countryside beyond. Great hosts too!
