Farmhouse family retreat near the Suffolk coast

Moat Farm is located in rural Suffolk away from it all but with beautiful coastal towns and historic cities within easy reach. A perfect break for couples and families. The annexe is self-contained with private entrance, it's own spacious kitchen and dining room and plenty of parking. There are fantastic cycling and walking routes on the doorstep and lovely country pubs along the way for refreshments. 20 minutes from Southwold, Dunwich, Walberswick and 45 minutes from Norwich. The annexe is part of our farmhouse where we live with our 3 children. Halesworth and Bungay are the closest market towns with a great selection of independent shops, cafes and even pottery studio. We can help advise you of places to go depending on your interests. We often enjoy the beach, canoeing, cycling and walking. Norwich with its cobbled streets, cathedral and shops is less than an hour away for a lovely contrast. The house is filled with quirky features and loads of character. Please note we do have low ceilings and doorways upstairs so you will have to duck in places. All rooms pictured are for guest use only as we have our own kitchen and living space at the opposite end of the farmhouse. We have tried to make it welcoming for couples and families alike. There is a small playroom, booster dining seat, baby bath and travel cot so you can pack light if bringing children. There is also a cosy area to relax by the woodburner downstairs in the winter months and the annexe has its own patio screened off from the main garden to enjoy in the warmer weather. There is a shared space with swings, trampoline, climbing frame and plenty of pets which you are welcome to visit. Please note children will need supervision outside due to a swimming pool, pond and moat. There is central heating, underfloor heating as well as the woodburning stove so you can enjoy a cosy farmhouse stay all year round. Firewood is provided. Kitchen is fully equipped with essential utensils, crockery, cutlery etc, coffee machine and fridge, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Robot vacuum also available as no one wants to clean on holiday but it's impossible to have a day at the beach without some sand following you home! There is no freezer. A small camp bed OR travel cot are available on request and makes the accommodation suitable for up to 5 people. 1 well behaved dog is permitted but please note we have a cat and other pets to consider.
