About the home

Ducksfoot Barn is set in a quiet country lane, surrounded by fields and woodland, perfect if you are looking for a relaxing break.

At Ducksfoot Farm we have two stunning holiday cottages both brimming with character in beautiful surroundings. Ducksfoot Barn is a fantastic weather boarded barn conversion whilst Garden Cottage (see separate ad - Ref 211516) was converted from old farm buildings. Both have a wealth of exposed beams and original features and are exceptionally pretty. They have been furnished to an extremely high standard and are equipped with everything you should need to make your holiday perfect - we've even included a picnic hamper in each.

Ducksfoot Barn which sleeps 4/5 is a stunning weather boarded barn conversion, ideal for a family or 2 couples as we can set the bedrooms up as a kingsize and a set of twin beds or a kingsize and a superking. In a separate building close by is Garden Cottage which sleeps 2 in a double bed. If you are holidaying with grandparents or another couple who want their own space then our two properties are perfect and give everybody the flexibility and privacy that they need. You can come together to eat and socialise in the Barn or Barbeque in the Patio Garden - there is plenty of room for everyone.

If you are looking for peace and tranquility in beautiful surroundings then look no further.

However, if you want to step up the pace of life after a few days there is a huge range of things to do and see in the area; history, art, family activity, beaches and retail therapy are all a short drive away.

We live on-site and so are always on hand to help with any queries you might have.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Ducksfoot Barn is equally suitable for couples or a family; one bedroom has a King Size bed, whilst the other can either be set-up as a pair of Twin beds or a Super-King bed. One of the sofa's in the lounge is a double sofa bed, ideal for one person but a bit of a squeeze for two. If further accommodation is required, our Garden Cottage, which is in a separate building but adjacent to the Barn, sleeps two in a Double bed.

Ducksfoot Barn has a spacious fully equipped kitchen, with oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge freezer. A separate utility room houses the washer/dryer, store cupboards, a shower and a wc, plus plenty of room for coats and boots. There's plenty of room for everyone in the large open-plan living area (30’8 x 18’4) with dining and lounge seating for 6 which boasts a wealth of exposed beams, underfloor heating, an integral sound system, TV and DVD player. Both bedrooms are en-suite.

A travel cot, highchair and stairgate are provided.

Further details outdoors:
Ducksfoot Barn has a private and secluded courtyard garden with patio furniture and a BBQ.

We have a couple of used but very serviceable bicycles that our guests are welcome to use, perfect for a trip to the village, lunch at the pub or simply to tour the area.

Further details

Just around the corner, a pleasant 5 minute walk away, there is a small privately owned sports centre which includes a heated indoor swimming pool and a tennis court. Private swimming sessions, use of the tennis court and/or tennis coaching may be available on request and subject to availability. Fees payable direct to owner.

Our properties are set in the quiet rural hamlet of Bush Green. It is a stunningly beautiful area which is perfect for walkers, cyclists, bird watchers and artists or those who simply want to holiday in the peace and tranquility of the countryside. However, should you wish to explore the area there is much to see and do with a wide and diverse range of activities to suit everyone.

Norfolk boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. To the east are Southwold and Walberswick. Visit Southwold pier for some real old fashioned fun, marvel at the brighly coloured beach huts and don't miss crabbing off the bridges and shoreline at Walberswick - one of our family favourites.

Head a bit further north to the bright lights of Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth, very typical but charming english seaside towns.

If you are happy to head a bit further, explore North Norfolk; Cromer, Sheringham, Holkham and more.

For something a little different to entertain the children a visit to Bewilderwood is a must.
