About this property
Luxury barn with private hot tub, sauna, pizza oven, dog friendly.
Owl's Hoot is a beautiful barn conversion with a private hot tub and sauna, perfect for a romantic stay - and for ramblers and cyclists exploring Suffolk and Norfolk.
Owl's Hoot, a Four Star Gold Visit England property, has Rambler and Cyclists Welcome Awards and we welcome your pet dogs.
Pub: 1 mile. Shops, garage, restaurants, walks: 4 miles. Spa: 5 miles. Golf: 7 miles.
Testimonial: "Owl's Hoot Barn is absolutely beautiful! The converted barn was immaculate, very homely, comfortable, warm and very romantic."
The barn:
Owl's Hoot is a charming Grade II listed contemporary conversion of a single storey barn with exposed green oak beams and oak vaulted ceiling in the sitting room and kitchen.
The property is located in the village of Stoke Ash, near Eye, with all necessary amenities within easy reach.
Inside the property there is a stylish woodburner and bi-folding doors which open onto the garden where there is a private decking and patio area.
The hot tub now has a covered pergola so you can enjoy sitting outside and gazing at the stars whatever the weather. This is a peaceful rural area and we please ask you to be respectful of our neighbours and ensure they are not disturbed by any noise between 10pm and 8am, from inside your holiday home, or from your holiday cottage garden. The hot tub switches off automatically at 10pm and reactivates at 8am. There is a surcharge of £99 if it is activated outside of these hours and it will be switched off automatically.
The neighbourhood:
The village of Stoke Ash has plenty to offer those looking to visit this beautiful part of the county.
Within the village there is the local pub, The White Horse Coaching Inn, which was voted the 'best bar' within the area by the Diss Express, the local newspaper.
Within one and a half miles the thatched Four Horseshoes is thought to be the oldest pub within Suffolk with a 12th century well inside its restaurant.
The historic market town of Diss, with coffee shops, restaurants and pubs overlooking the pretty mere, are within approximately ten minutes by car.
Eye and Framlingham, communities with castles, independent shops including a chocolatier and butchers are close by, as are picture postcard villages.
Thornham Walks, with 12 miles of woodland walks around an historic estate are within a few miles and there are many beautiful lanes and sites to explore by bicycle too.
The Suffolk coast including communities of Aldeburgh and Southwold, the Norfolk Broads, Ipswich with river cruises on offer, and the cathedral cities and towns of Norwich and Bury St Edmunds bustling with history and fine restaurants, are all easily accessible for day trips.
Getting around:
Owl's Hoot is the perfect romantic hideaway surrounded by fields and yet also within easy reach of the A140, A14 and hourly / half hourly intercity Norwich to Diss, Stowmarket, Ipswich, Manningtree, Colchester and London train line.
It is perfect for a self-catering holiday on the Suffolk / Norfolk border.
Barn accommodation in detail:
- Spacious Vaulted Open Plan Room with Sitting Area: Smart TV, sofa, wood burner, bi-folding doors to garden.
- Kitchen Area: Electric oven and gas hob, fridge with ice box, microwave, water softener, dishwasher, washing machine, breakfast bar with two stools.
- Bedroom: Double bed.
- Shower Room: Large shower cubicle, washbasin and wc.
- Garden: Decking with hot tub, and Rattan garden furniture which overlooks a generous lawn. Patio area.
- Bicycles: Lockable waterproof bicycle store next to the barn.
- Parking: Ample roadside parking is available on the quiet lane outside the property.
- Heating: Gas heating and wood burner.
Notes: Wi-Fi, towels, tea, coffee and milk and a starter pack of logs for the wood burner are provided at this no smoking property. The barn, which we are sorry is not suitable for parties or events, has a check-in time from 3pm.
An earlier check-in or later check-out is available if agreed at the time of booking, for a modest fee and we kindly ask that any damage or breakages are paid for.
Safety features:
- Carbon monoxide detector
- Smoke detector
- First aid kit
- Fire extinguisher
