THE BARNS
Eight Dog Friendly Holiday Cottages - Six Luxury Barns and two Cottages; all sleeping two. Seven of them have Private Hot Tubs. The Barns nestle amongst the mature trees around the fishpond and waterfall to create a peaceful little environment to relax in. The two Cottages are adjacent. Each property has its own private enclosed garden area with a patio and seating for eating outside; there is also a shaded decking area overlooking the pond for when you want to watch the fish or enjoy the sunset. All set down a country lane, just outside the little Suffolk village of Stonham Aspal. The beautiful Suffolk Coast is just 30 minutes away. THE BARGES
Two Dog-friendly, historic Dutch sailing Barges, lovingly converted into moored holiday homes. Think of them as floating holiday cottages. Onderneming at Snape Maltings is enormous, and sleeps eight guests, so offers a quirky getaway for your family or friends. Twee Gebroeders on the quay at Woodbridge overlooks the iconic Tidemill, and is the perfect place for a romantic break, though she will sleep two kids too. Both of our Barges present you with the ideal location to explore the stunning Suffolk Coast, combined with a truly unique place to stay. DOGS & BIKES
There are great walks and cycling routes straight from the Barns and the Barges and we provide bikes free of charge. We welcome up to three dogs in each Barn, Barge and Cottage.

Trailer: Discover the secret Tudor weapons chamber hidden directly above the north porch inside Saint Mary's Church in Mendlesham, Suffolk.

Learn how everyday Tudor farmers stored iron armour, pikes, and helmets here to defend against the Spanish Armada in England's only surviving original parish armoury.

Inside the church of Saint Mary the Virgin in Mendlesham, you are looking at a historic parish church that holds a secret completely unique in England. Up a narrow, winding stone staircase, directly above the north porch where I am standing, sits a small chamber that time forgot.

This is the Mendlesham Armoury, the only surviving parish armoury in the entire country that still contains its original collection of Tudor weapons and armour. Built during the fifteenth century, this secure upper room functioned as the village's official weapons store, keeping defensive gear safe under lock and key.

Amazing day out in that there London town yesterday, visiting the 'Frameless' exhibition at Marble Arch. Google it and go!

Such an immersive experience, incorporating many well-known works of art in a way that you will never imagine.

Trailer: The Lost Village of Bildeston: Why Did the Town Move Uphill to Downhill?

In the eleventh century, when William the Conqueror’s Domesday Book was compiled in 1086, the entire population lived right up on top of a hill overlooking the modern village, around a predecessor of this church.

So why is modern Bildeston half a mile away down in the valley floor, leaving St Mary’s Church standing completely alone in the middle of farm fields? It wasn't a plague, and it wasn't a fire. It was pure economic ambition.

I’m Carl, That History Guy, and I create these videos to share Suffolk’s incredible history while spreading the word about my business, Woodfarm Barns. We offer a collection of romantic, self-catering, dog-friendly holiday cottages right here in Suffolk, plus a hillside retreat in Tuscany.

I love sharing real local history, folklore, and heritage to give visitors more reasons to explore this wonderful county.
