Bury St Edmunds, located in the picturesque region of Suffolk in the East of England, is home to a charming rural retreat known as Barrow Barn. This beautifully transformed former cart lodge is designed to accommodate two couples or a small family, comfortably sleeping four guests. Set amidst 15 acres of serene private woodland, this luxurious holiday home offers a peaceful escape into the stunning unspoilt countryside, with the quaint village of Barrow just a stone's throw away. Here, visitors can enjoy the local gastropub, The Weeping Willow, renowned for its inviting atmosphere, delicious food, and cozy log fires.
The interior of Barrow Barn showcases impressive renovations that emphasize a unique upside-down living concept, allowing guests to fully appreciate the breathtaking countryside views. The open-plan living area features a characterful pitched roof adorned with painted beams, complemented by large French doors that open onto a lovely balcony. Numerous Velux windows flood the space with natural light, while a wood-burning stove adds warmth and charm for those chilly evenings. The modern kitchen, equipped with shaker-style cabinetry and high-quality appliances, is perfect for self-catering, making it an ideal choice for a relaxing getaway.
Accommodations include two exceptional bedroom suites, with one located on the first floor boasting a king-size bed, a beautifully tiled bathroom with a deep bath and shower, as well as a furnished balcony for enjoying panoramic views. The second bedroom, situated on the ground floor, also features a king-size bed and a stylish en-suite shower room adorned with trendy sage green metro tiles. While the idyllic setting may encourage guests to unwind and stay in, the nearby Weeping Willow and the attractions of Bury St Edmunds present compelling reasons to venture out.
Bury St Edmunds itself is a vibrant cathedral town steeped in over a thousand years of history, offering a range of award-winning restaurants, delightful shopping experiences, and beautiful parks. Highlights include the magnificent St Edmundsbury Cathedral, the historic Theatre Royal, and the scenic Abbey Gardens, which are set on the grounds of a former Benedictine Abbey. Additionally, visitors can explore the nearby Newmarket, the heart of British horse racing, and enjoy the rich natural beauty of Thetford Forest, which boasts diverse landscapes and a wealth of outdoor activities. Barrow Barn serves as a perfect base for exploring these captivating local attractions, ensuring a memorable stay in this enchanting part of England.
