About this property

Individual barn overlooking open fields, dog friendly with open fire

Swallow Barn is a converted barn separate from but adjacent to our very special 16th century timber framed house. We have converted the barn to a high specification, taking into account our favourite bits of all the holiday lets we have stayed in over the years. We aim to create a sense of cosiness without loss of practicality. The barn affords lovely views over the field and is light and airy. In winter months the wood burner adds a welcoming glow to curl up with.

Swallow Barn's unique feature is that it is in a very special position overlooking open fields with no need to interact with others if you don’t wish to do so when in the property.

Whilst no property can be described as ‘Covid-free’ we adhere to guidance by providing an enhanced set of cleaning standards and have invested in additional equipment and time in order to do this. For this reason we have changed our minimum stays from 2 to 4 nights.

Swallow Barn has its' own garden which is pretty secure and which is a haven for wildlife. We commonly see a variety of birds and deer walk through our meadow and on occasion a barn owl.

We are big dog lovers and have always had rescue dogs. We are happy to accept well behaved dogs. We have a cat who is dog friendly to dogs who know how to treat him!

Dog guests will be able to share the use of our 2acre field behind the house. Please note owners will need to bring their own dog bed and bedding.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Why they chose this property

Thank you for your interest in Swallow Barn situated in rural Suffolk. A one bedroom holiday let for 2 people (and children < 24 months), designed for real country lovers and those seeking a much needed retreat from the pressures of daily life.

Swallow Barn is an individual, listed barn in the heart of the Suffolk countryside in the village of Wyverstone. We are based approximately 20 mins from the historic town of Bury St Edmunds (recently voted one of the most dog-friendly places to visit in the country) and Stowmarket with good rail links to London and other major cities. The impressive Suffolk coastline is also only an hour's drive away. There is a village shop and pub a 5 minute drive away or a 15-20 minute walk.

Having stayed at many a holiday let over the years, we know how hard it can be to find decent accommodation that combines a sense of cosiness with practicality. We have therefore tried to include all our favourite things about holiday lets into just one place. Imagine lying in a blissfully comfortable bed whilst looking up at the stars or, sitting in a garden overlooking a peaceful meadow, watching the swallows duck and dive in the summer months, truly magical.

Being dog lovers with a history of taking rescues, we have never felt comfortable with leaving them behind when we go on holiday. For this reason we are happy to welcome well behaved canine friends to the barn. The barn comes with its own enclosed garden and guests can also enjoy shared access to our field overlooking the property which is perfect for ball games.

We look forward to welcoming you to this special place.

What makes this property unique

Peace and quiet, rural location. Private entrance and enclosed garden. Guests will enjoy use of our 2 acre field and many available dog walks surrounding the property.
