Summary

Alde Barn is a luxury dog-friendly cottage in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. With a rustic farmhouse style throughout, think winding handmade timber staircases and high-vaulted ceilings. Immerse yourself in its peaceful environment, outside the cottage there’s a fully enclosed private garden with its own private luxury hot tub, as well as a patio area where you can enjoy an al-fresco breakfast or a delicious BBQ. Country canines will love the two-acre fully secure meadow to roam in and there’s also a smaller section for dogs that are a little nervous. There are fabulous walks to enjoy from the doorstep, plus the pretty Suffolk Coast is just 30-minutes away. The cottage even provides bikes for you to use during your stay if you want to leave the car behind. The kitchen area leads into a cosy living room where the whole family can watch a film next to the log burning fire after a day of walking and exploring with your canine companion!

Inside the Alde Barn

As you step into the Alde Barn you'll find a farmhouse style kitchen-diner. The space features a pretty antique wooden dining table next to a stable door that leads out onto the garden area, perfect for those sunny days & providing easy access to the outdoors for you & your pooch. When the weather is nice, open up the door for a lovely airy start to the day! The fully equipped kitchen has plenty of work space, a fitted cooker with ceramic hob, belfast sink, microwave and fridge, kettle, four slice toaster and a superb Nespresso coffee machine and coffee capsules.

The kitchen leads through to the intimate living area with a comfy sofa, smart TV for cosy nights in, and a lovely log burning fire for colder nights. This room has high ceilings, huge exposed oak beams and a hand-made timber staircase that winds up to the charming mezzanine double bedroom - it's brimming with character. On the ground floor is a shower room on the ground floor with a good sized powerful fixed rose ‘watering can’ style shower, loo and hand basin with luxury hand soap, as well as a heated towel rail.

Step outside into your large enclosed private garden laid mainly to lawn, with a patio and BBQ with table and chairs for Al Fresco dining. There is also a covered Garden Room with your own, huge private Hot Tub! The enclosed garden and oak floors make this barn extremely dog-friendly. The barn is surrounded by mature trees, a pond and a water feature, creating a peaceful little environment to relax in and a great spot to watch the sunset. On the farm there is a large and fully secured two acre meadow for (two- and four-legged) guests to run around in. This is a shared area, and may give your furry friends a chance to play with our four-legged guests. Alongside the meadow is an enclosed lawn/paddock for dogs that are ‘long in the tooth’ or shy and nervous. There is also lovely communal decked area overlooking the pond for when you feel sociable or just want to enjoy the sunset. There is plenty of off-road parking in nearby.

The barn is located down a country lane, just a short walk from the village, with free bikes and Wi-Fi. The charming cottage nestled on the edge of the village of Stonham Aspal at the gateway to the Suffolk Tourist Route to southwold, Thorpness, Dunwich Heath, Walberswick, Aldeburgh and Orford.
