Amidst grass and clover meadows close to a meandering stream in the heart of the Waveney valley, this Grade II listed barn has been beautifully converted to create a spacious and comfortable holiday cottage ideal for friends and families. A spacious ground floor twin bedroom and cloakroom make this cottage suitable for someone with slight mobility problems. Separated from the owners' lovely farmhouse, Bobby's Barn has a suntrap terrace and views over the meadows of the Waveney Valley. Bobbys Barn is just 3 miles from the imposing tower of the ancient church at Beccles, whose streetnames, Saltgate, Northgate, Smallgate and Hungate hint at the fortifications which once surrounded it. Beccles is now home to an excellent range of restaurants, shops and pubs, their Georgian facades disguising many of its ancient buildings which nestle along the banks of the lower Waveney river. Here you can explore the lovely reed-fringed waterways of southern Broadland and their abundant wildlife (boat hire is available), or cycle down its hidden green lanes and nature trails. For those seeking some culture The Old Granary Studio, Toft Monks, Beccles is a beautiful venue where you can enjoy a variety of musical offerings, occasionally with dinner (in summer one can picnic in the lovely gardens) as well as the newly restored Fisher Theatre in Bungay, the Cut in Halesworth and the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, near Aldeburgh
No visit will be complete without a visit to Suffolk's Heritage coastline encompassing Lowestoft's Blue Flag beach, genteel Southwold and Dunwich. Golf and fishing 4 miles and birdwatching at RSPB Minsmere. Nearest shop and pub 2 miles.
