We welcome up to three dogs per stay. Each Barn has a fully enclosed garden, plus we have a secure two-acre meadow for off-lead play and socialising. There’s also a smaller section for older or nervous dogs. Dog treats and a local breakfast basket are provided.

Ample off-road parking.

Hot-Tub Luxury in Suffolk

Stour Barn is one of five Private Hot Tub Barns set in a tranquil meadow next to The Granary, Woodfarm House and Meadow View Cottage. Each has its own garden and is surrounded by mature trees, a koi pond and a waterfall feature. There’s also a shared decked area overlooking the fish pond – ideal for sunsets.

We’re just outside Stonham Aspal, down a quiet country lane. Walks and cycling start from the doorstep, and the Suffolk Coast is only 30 minutes away. Free bikes and Wi-Fi are available.

Further down this page we have a virtual tour of Stour Barn. If you would like some help using the virtual tour please click here for our helpful video.

Each Barn is individually styled with traditional Suffolk features like black weatherboarding, oak beams and floorboards or slate flooring. Stour is one of our ground-floor options.

All our Barns are named after local rivers. The River Stour runs from Sudbury through Constable Country to the coast.
