About the host

Hosted by Sue Sharples

Host profile image
We bought Poplar Farm in 1992 and have spent the last 30 years renovating the house. That is ongoing as all old properties tend to be! In 2010 we saved the roof on the old dairy barn (circa 1740-1780) before it collapsed and decided to convert the barn into a holiday let, Udder Barn. It was a labour of love over a three year period - so my husband kept telling me! We completed the project in late 2015 and are hoping that you will come and stay and enjoy what we have created. We are chuffed to bits on how it has turned out and really want to share this lovely barn with you along with our beautiful huge skies - sunrises and sunsets.
We have an outdoor heated pool which is usually open from late April through to early October (depending on weather) which our guest would be more than welcome to use either for a swim or just sit around the pool and relax.

Why they chose this property

We choose to live here on the fens for the quietness, isolation and peace. We love it. Winter can be wet and wild, however, sitting outside on a summers evening is so quiet you can close your eyes and be anywhere in the world - it is so relaxing.
We hope you will join us and also appreciate this beautiful rural location our huge open skies and the abundant wildlife around us.

What makes this property unique

Isolated, very quiet, no traffic noise. Enjoy spectacular sun rises and sun sets, the beauty of the Fens is so different to any other area in England you will surprise yourself how quickly it grows on you. Fabulous light if you are a painter.
