Do you have shops near your Barns & Barges? You Ask, We Answer

Do you have shops near your Barns & Barges?

By

This blog post introduces you to a video that I shot to answer the common question of “Do you have shops near your Barns & Barges? ”. It’s part of our series of ‘You Ask, We Answer’ videos and blogs. They cover loads of our FAQ’s, or Frequently Asked Questions, but with a (we hope) really helpful deeper dive.

At Woodfarm Barns & Barges, we understand that planning the perfect getaway involves many questions and uncertainties. To help you navigate through these and to ensure you have the best experience possible, we’ve launched our ‘You Ask, We Answer’ initiative. This approach isn’t just about promoting our Barns, Cottages and Barges; it’s about providing valuable information, solutions, and peace of mind to our prospective guests.

Anyway, this is the video, and the transcript is below it if you wish to go back over anything.

This is what I said…

Nearby Shops: Convenient Shopping Options Around Our Holiday Properties

Hello, it’s Carl, and this post is all about the subject of nearby shops. We often get asked if there are shops nearby, and the answer is yes. Let me clarify in a bit more detail, as we have four locations.

Woodfarm Barns and Cottages

At Woodfarm Barns and Cottages, where I am right now, there are shops about a mile away. There’s a place called Stonham Barns, which features a local news agent come village shop type thing. In Debenham, which is 4 miles away, you’ve got the Co-op and a number of other shops including Palfrey and Hall, our preferred butchers. Additionally, there are supermarkets within about 10 minutes’ drive for all your grocery needs.

Woodfarm Tuscany

Over in Woodfarm Tuscany, there are no shops right around us because it’s up the side of a valley. However, it’s only 15 minutes to a massive supermarket called Esselunga in a place called Marlia. It’s a fantastic supermarket with everything you might need.

Our Barges

For our Barges, we’ve got a deli and various shops, coffee shops, and other amenities right at Snape Maltings by Onderneming. Then, Twee Gebroeders in Woodbridge is right on the edge of Woodbridge itself, providing easy access to many local shops.

I hope that answers your questions about nearby shopping options.
