Description
Bohemian luxury miles from light pollution or traffic noise the Dairy House has been converted from a Victorian farm building, without hiding its history.

The kitchen, former cart sheds, can seat 12 for dinner by a cozy wood-burning stove. Another stove warms the sitting room. They both open onto a sheltered courtyard, great for al fresco dining and BBQs, amid with beds planted with herbs and bursting with seasonal blooms. The sitting room also opens onto a lawn/field for lazy afternoons and staggering sunsets. Upstairs, once haylofts and a granary, four doubles, a twin and a single are served by two showers and two baths. The master bedroom has an ensuite, a hammam-style bath, and a balcony for sundowners.

A romantic family getaway with beautiful walks to nearby Snape Maltings, Thorpeness, and Aldeburgh, the Diary House is isolated, private and perfect for birdsong and chill.

lovely home in a lovely area!

a group of 10 of us with two 1-year-olds and 2 dogs stayed here for a wonderful weekend. The home is so great for a weekend like this - the kitchen was well stocked, check-in was easy and it was very cosy and tidy. Highly recommend.
