Alde Barn – the finer details
You enter this holiday cottage in Suffolk into a farmhouse style kitchen with a pretty antique farm table next to the stable door entrance so that in fine weather you can open up the door for a lovely airy start to the day and round to your ‘Indoor, Outdoor Garden Room’ with your very own private luxury Hot Tub.
The fully equipped kitchen is well laid out with ample work surface, a kitchen Range cooker, Belfast sink, microwave and fridge. As the premium meadow barn, Alde also has a superb Nespresso coffee machine and coffee capsules.
Outside this holiday cottage in Suffolk, you have a large, fully enclosed private garden laid mainly to lawn, with the fabulous ‘indoor outdoor’ room as we’ve said, with your luxury Hot Tub, as well as a patio with BBQ and table and chairs for Al Fresco dining.
The kitchen area of your luxury holiday cottage in Suffolk leads through to an intimate living area with a comfy, squishy sofa, lovely log burning fire and smart TV.
The luxurious main room has very a high vaulted ceiling with huge, exposed oak beams and a winding hand-made timber staircase that leads up to a charming mezzanine bedroom with a gorgeous old solid wood double sleigh bed
There is a well-organised shower room on the ground floor with a good-sized powerful fixed rose ‘watering can’ style shower, loo and hand basin with luxury hand soap
Because of the enclosed garden and oak floors we are happy to accept pets in all our barn cottages. We normally accept up to 3 dogs. We even leave a dog treat as well as a delicious local breakfast basket for the humans!
We also have a huge fully secure two-acre meadow for our four-legged guests to run around and play with each other, along with seating for the two-legged guests to chat as well! There’s a smaller section inside for nervous or older dogs to exercise on their own.
Outside your luxury holiday cottage in Suffolk you have a large enclosed private garden laid mainly to lawn, with a patio and BBQ with table and chairs for Al Fresco dining
There is ample off-road parking.
Alde is one of our five-holiday cottage barns in the wooded meadow beside The Granary, Woodfarm House and Meadow View Cottage – These luxurious barns vary in price according to size, position, equipment etc so represent great value, as well as having something to suit everyone’s taste and budget!
The Barns nestle into the mature trees around the pond and water feature to create a peaceful little environment to relax in and there is also a lovely communal decked area overlooking the pond for when you feel sociable or just want to enjoy the sunset.
The Meadow is down a pretty country lane just outside the little Suffolk village of Stonham Aspal.
There are lovely walks and cycling straight from the Barns and the pretty Suffolk Coast is just 30 minutes away. Bikes are also available FREE of charge!
All our meadow barns are named after nearby Suffolk rivers. The river Alde winds its way through from the sea, inland at nearby Aldeburgh, which is a really popular destination for so many of our holiday cottage guests.

Fabulous time in Alde Barn – Spent three glorious days mainly in the hot tub. The 4 horseshoes carvery a must and Swiss Farm for BBQ items. Thanks for all the nice touches which make moving home for a few days so easy!
Our third stay, but just as amazing as our first stay. The barn has everything you need for a relaxing and fabulous stay
What a fantastic holiday – Wood Farm Barns is the most well thought out, beautiful place. We have discovered and explored so many quaint towns, villages, rivers, seaside and walks. Sunday lunch at the Dog and our puppy thoroughly “woof”ed down his roast!
This is our first holiday for 12 years and it has been lovely! We’ve visited Framlingham Castle, Debenham and the beaches at Dunwich and Southwold. We’ve made use of the lovely extras like the welcome basket, dog treats and VIP card. Thank you.
We brought our bikes and have spent our time cycling round the little villages with our small dog in a basket. A great base for visiting Suffolk. The Crowfield Rose a short ride away, recommend for beer and food and is dog friendly too.
WFB is a fantastic place, so quiet and our dog loved it! It has been very thought out and the owners deserve a pat on the back! We visited out favourite beach, Dunwich Heath which is great for dogs and has a lovely Café. We had a great meal at the Dog in Grundisburgh.
We had a great time, perfect to relax after a day out. We enjoyed a walk round Woodbridge and Martlesham Creek, drive over to Southwold – a wonderful seaside resort and back through Framlingham with a stop off at the Badingham White Horse with a bottle of local wine! Lavenham was a great place to visit incorporating a walk to Brent Eleigh.
A wonderful relaxing time. We especially loved the breakfast hamper and post cards – this was a nice treat on arrival. Lovely food at the 4 Horseshoes and The Dog.
We came for our honeymoon and on arrival “happy tears” over the attention to detail, treats for our dog, postcards already stamped! We made good use of the BBQ and the hot tub. Can’t wait to come back again.
A fabulous few days at Alde Barn. Homely and comfortable with everything you need and more. The barn garden was safe for dogs as was the meadow. Our favourite beach was Southwold. Would highly recommend The Grundisburgh Dog for food. A wonderful break!
