A family and dog friendly haven, The Hayloft.

The Hayloft is a charming, family-friendly single-storey property with two bedrooms, nestled in the picturesque Alde River valley in coastal Suffolk. Situated on a small 40-acre family farm, guests can enjoy ample dog walking options, including fenced-off fields, a private woodland area, and nearby footpaths.
The property is conveniently located near RSPB nature reserve Minsmere, as well as the coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold, Snape Maltings, and the historic village of Framlingham.

The Hayloft has a grand hallway which leads to a Super-King sized bedroom with an ensuite. A twin room with French Antique Continental beds, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. A private room for a work area with desk.
Also an open-plan living room & kitchen, with a door leading into a utility room with access to fenced garden perfect for your dogs.
The Hayloft has underfloor heating and a log burner for those chilli nights. The log burner is fully guarded to keep little hands out.
There is a high chair and travel cot available for your little ones, plus plastic bowls and plates.
The Hayloft welcomes dogs, but we please ask if they do not go into the bedrooms and keep off the furniture.
