Red Poll Barn

We had a super stay for new year with our two grown up daughters .

Great Location for exploring the area. Attractive cosy barn, tastefully furnished and had everything we needed . Excellent host, homemade biscuits and jam and essentials such as milk provided. The outside view of the pond was lovely especially on a snowy day . We definitely plan to return .

Comfortable stay, second bedroom a bit small for two adults.

Some road noise otherwise a pleasant stay. Good location.

A real gem, perfect base for exploring the local area.

The barn was cosy and immaculately clean, with everything we needed for our stay. It suited us perfectly as a family of four with two children and a lively Labrador. The outside space is lovely, we enjoyed walking in the woods with the dog and spotting the wildlife around the pond. Plenty of room for parking. We would definitely stay again.

Lovely stay at Red Poll Barn.

Jacqui and Nick are excellent hosts. We would have no hesitation staying again or recommending to any of our friends and family. First Class!! Ann, Alan and Sidney.

Lovely property with so much to see and do locally and a little further afield as well .

Jacqui is an excellent host and the biscuits and jam on arrival were home made and lovely.

Comfortable, beautifully presented, well equipped property in a great location.

Friendly and helpful host.... thanks Jacqui, we loved our stay and hope to return next year.

Our recent stay at Red Poll Barn was wonderful, the barn was just as lovely as pictured and had everything we needed.

Jacqui provided all the needed information and was nice to meet her on our arrival. We hope to return soon.

We had a great time and will return

Absolutely fantastic stay, was a perfect place to stay and rest while doing Latitude festival…Would definitely stay again but this time visit more of the surrounding area.

More attention to detail ie bathroom door requires fixing correctly told.

Not to adjust temperature to shower oven not very clean, patio furniture tired, BBQ unusable dirty and rusty.Impressed with the electric hob

Amazing location-superb for birds and wildlife.

Owners very friendly and helpful. Suffolk is a beautiful county. Driving is chilled and generally courteous. Very refreshing. Barn conversion is nice. Second bedroom is very small. Lack of hooks for hanging clothing. Would have preferred curtains for glazed doors. Overall a excellent stay.

We had a lovely stay despite the weather, but the view over the pond and the sound of the rain was very relaxing.

It was nice and clean and comfortable and the owners were friendly and helpful and even supplied little welcome pack so we were able to have a cup of tea and a biscuit as soon as we arrived. We decided to go away for my wife’s birthday and this certainly made the day more special. Just as an observation if we were staying for a longer period there wasn’t a lot of storage in the kitchen for additional food as we don’t tend to eat out much, and if more than two people stay there is limited clothes storage in the twin bedroom, but we would definitely stay again.

Beautiful, spacious property in a lovely setting with very friendly owners.

A great location for exploring Suffolk and Norfolk. Highly recommended. One observation for dog owners. The grounds are extensive but the drive does open onto an A road, although 30mph limit at that point. Jacqui very kindly offered a long tethering lead but there is so much space our dog pottered about happily and didn't make any attempt to leg it!

Jacqui and Nick Very helpful and friendly owners.

Their hospitality was outstanding! Barn spotless clean, located by the pond, birds and nature… Highly recommended

We feel incredibly fortunate to have discovered Red Poll Barn and its truly wonderful owners.

From the very start, the booking process was seamless and stress-free, and the property itself offered exceptional value. Upon arrival, we were thrilled to find everything exactly as described in the listing — yet somehow, it exceeded all expectations. The barn is spotlessly clean, blissfully peaceful, and comfortable. Every detail has been carefully thought through to ensure a private, relaxing stay, with absolutely nothing overlooked. It’s clear the owners have poured care and consideration into creating the perfect holiday experience — all you have to do is arrive and unwind. We were so enchanted by the place that we rebooked on our second day for a return visit to celebrate a special occasion. Red Poll Barn is perfectly located, with easy access to the beauty and nature, Suffolk has to offer. From beaches to historic settings. Everything you could want from a holiday: stunning accommodation, lovely and welcoming owners, complete privacy, great location, and excellent value. And as an unexpected delight, the owner Jacqui turns out to be a brilliantly talented artist. Her work is powerful — distinctive, full of character, and deeply personal. We were fortunate enough to purchase several pieces. Be sure to ask to see her art — she’s wonderfully modest, but her talent is exceptional. All in all, this was a magical find, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

Red Poll Barn has good light all day the open plan area is comfortable TV/Wifi has good reception.

The main road is close but does not affect the tranquility. Footpaths can be found closeby an OS map advisable. Overall RPB is a nice place to stay ideal for trips to Dunwich Heath and Minsmere RSPB

A well equipped and comfortable accommodation.

Nice personal touches including some welcome goodies. Enjoyed spending time seated on the decking watching the birdlife on the pond. The barn is in an ideal location for exploring both Norfolk and Suffolk. It’s quite near a main road which gives an advantage for exploring but the disadvantage of some road noise. But we had an enjoyable and relaxing stay there.

Amazing property, so cosy and well equipped.

The perfect base for exploring Suffolk & Norfolk. Jacqui & family are super welcoming and helpful and Jacquis art in the barn is exceptional! Bed is comfy, barn is quiet and well heated and we couldn't fault anything. Thank you for a truly lovely stay!

Nice property ideal for 3 adults and our dog.

Nice big garden for the dog to run around. We love this area not too far from the sea and lots of lovely villages. Thanks for a nice stay and the extras you left for us.

Beautiful property in a wonderful location for exploring Suffolk’s beautiful coast.

Every thing needed is there and the hosts were incredibly helpful. Will definitely stay again.

Lovely stay!

The barn is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed, including some delicious jam made by Jacqui. The location is stunning and perfect for exploring lots of nearby places - Halesworth, Bungay, Southwold, Thorpeness and Aldeburgh to name a few. Thank you so much for having us!

Red Poll Barn was just as expected from the description and photos.

Exceptionally clean, bright and airy, and everything was of a high standard. Just two of us were staying so plenty of room. We had glorious weather and although some days were hot and sunny, we found the high ceilings, large windows and doors to the outside decking allowed for fresh air to flow. Despite being next to another holiday let, the layout of the barn created privacy and quiet, with views towards the woods and pond. The owners were friendly and welcoming without being intrusive, and they ensured all the essentials were provided- including some thoughtful goodies on arrival. The information folder had plenty of useful details and recommendations for places to visit and eating out, with the nearest pub about a 10 minute walk away for lunch or an evening meal (a short section of the road doesn’t have a footpath, but we found it was ok). Overall a restful and enjoyable stay.

Wonderful place to stay.

We will be back!

Lovely accommodation!

Best experienced in good weather as we never got to use the seating on the decking but the barn is so lovely we were happy to relax inside for the Easter weekend. Would definitely recommend.

The host was very friendly and welcoming.

We were given milk, biscuits, coffee and cava as a welcome gift and tea and sugar was available to us. The barn was beautifully furnished with plenty of kitchen utensils and nice and warm. We were x2 couples and whilst the main bedroom was an adequate size, the second bedroom is very small with x2 single beds. Good location to get out and about to surrounding areas for walks.

A very tastefully restored barn in a great location for exploring the Suffolk coast.

Extremely well equipped kitchen with everything we needed to cook after our days out. Very welcoming owners. Would definitely recommend it to family and friends and hope to return ourselves soon.

The owners are lovely and very helpful.

The accommodation and grounds was perfect, everything provided for a break away from home. Nice little welcome pack provided for our arrival and a taster of home made jam (delicious). If I have to fault anything, then it would be the seating depth of the sofa and armchair, very nice furniture, however, I had to use pillows from the beds to use as extra back support as I'm reasonably short, maybe a few extra large chunky cushions could be provided. More than happy to recommend and holiday again at Red Poll Barn.

Lovely setting, and very comfortable.

The kitchen and everything we needed, and loads of towels for the bathroom. Lots of country walks close by. Just the main road to contend with which was very busy at times. Nevertheless a great location and a very good stay helped by wonderfully hospitable vendors. Kind regards David and Victoria

We had a lovely relaxing stay at red poll barn, all you could hear was the lovely bird song, the more hens with there babies going by and the ducks, and the ponds teaming with fish,we didn’t do any fishing but johns a fisherman and he put chunks of bread in the water and the fish were jumping up to get the bread.

The barn was spotless very comfortable and set out well with everything we needed , we had a warm welcome from Jacquie and nick , a lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated and very much enjoyed ! …of red wine scrummy biscuits coffee and milk. Redpoll barn is a fantastic place to stay would recommend to anyone. Great base to explore the Norfolk coast and countryside.we would definitely stay there again.Thank you. Julie & John.

Lovely property in beautiful relaxing grounds, we loved sitting on the decking and watching the wildlife.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful, couldn't have asked for more. Would definitely book again.

Lovely barn in a great location.

Well appointed with everything you need, it was nice to come back to the barn after a day exploring the local area to sit by the pond and have a cold beer.

1.

For people of our age (mid-80s), the leather furniture was far too low and difficult for us to rise from. More our problem than the owners! 2. The hot water temperature is possibly too high for domestic purposes. 3. Beds were super-comfortable. Facilities were spot on. 4. Most enjoyable stay which would recommend to others. 5. Jacqui & Nick were great hosts. Mtks.

Jacqui was very friendly and happy to help.

little treats left in cottage were delicious. A great location for exploring Suffolk. Amazing beaches and towns. thank you x

Red Poll Barn is a very stylish and comfortable place to stay with beautiful views out across the pond and set amongst the tall reeds at the back.

Jacqui and her family are marvellous hosts and made us very welcome. It was a lovely place to come back to after our days out and about. We would happily stay there again.

Fabulous cottage/Barn.

Amazing hosts and fabulous views out of the barn, over the pool, of a Kingfisher. Would recommend.

Great barn/cabin in a very relaxing environment.

There were quite a few nice pubs dotted close by and the coast about 20 mins away, which was incredible. Jacqui was very welcoming, the place was very clean and had lots of towels / kitchen was well provided for. Only downside, the windows didn't have locks on the inside (we have wandering kids), however the barn was very secure / land was too. Waking up every morning to the countryside was mega. Very good value also. Would recommend.

Lovely accommodation, had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

We were able to borrow games, DVDs and some crabbing buckets and nets which our sons loved! Location was great, just outside of the lovely town with everything there, Butchers, Bakery, Deli, choice of Take-aways and eating out. Only 15 minutes from the beach at Southwold which we visited a number of times. We were able to take our dog which was fantastic for us as a family! Didn't need to take towels (only beach towels) which saved us a lot of space in our suitcases, thank you!

A tastefully decorated converted barn.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay here. Jacqui and Nick, the hosts were on hand to assist with anything we needed. We celebrated my husbands 60th whilst at the barn and Jacqui even arrived with a card and a gift. We were left wine and cookies for our arrival which was a nice touch. Ideally located for the cost. We visited Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness. Aldeburgh and Beccles, all within a 30 minute drive. Would definitely return.

We had the most perfect stay in this comfortable but stylish holiday barn.

Having never been to Suffolk before we enjoyed exploring the area, and particularly loved Thorpeness, Dunwich Heath and Southwold. Being able to return to the peace and quiet of the barn and looking out at the reeds and the water was extra special. We made great memories and would highly recommend to all.

Red Poll Barn was a fantastic place to stay and we couldn’t have asked for a better get away just before lockdown.

The barn is clean and stylish with everything you would need. Whilst we explored a lot of Norfolk / Suffolk, you could easily spend a number of days in and around the barn area. Would definitely come back!

We were lucky enough to squeeze in a wonderful week’s stay at this cosy, idyllic barn prior to the second national lockdown.

Our family of four, plus dog, loved every moment of our holiday - the location, hospitality, comfort levels, overall facilities and many decorative touches, not forgetting the welcome biccies and vino. It was blissful returning to the barn after a day’s beach-walking and sampling of local eateries. We’re looking forward to returning again some day soon!
