Gipping Barn | A luxury hideaway for two with Hot Tub in Stonham Aspal, Suffolk

Tucked by trees and a little pond, Gipping Barn is an oasis with a luxurious Hot Tub, just for couples, in sunny Suffolk. This romantic retreat is beautifully designed with huge oak beams, antique mixed with modern furnishings and a relaxing atmosphere. The barn is named after the river Gipping, which winds its way through the nearby countryside. From the outside, the traditional English barn has a country feel, with weatherboarding and massive oak trusses, beams and flooring on the inside.

Wake up in a show-stopping mezzanine bedroom with high vaulted ceilings. There is a well organised bathroom with a good sized shower on the ground floor, and once you are fully awake you can enjoy the rest of the barn which has a luxury and comfortable feel throughout.

There is a farmhouse style kitchen with a pretty antique farm table, next to the stable door entrance. You can cook up a storm with the kitchen Range cooker, Belfast sink, microwave and fridge. The owners will leave you a special breakfast basket to get your holiday off to a good start.

Gipping Barn’s kitchen area leads through to an intimate living space with a comfy sofa and log burning fire, for cosy nights in. There is a TV, DVD and CD player and ipod docking station. On sunny days, step outside and enjoy your own enclosed garden area with a covered, enclosed patio, featuring a decadent Hot Tub for soaking away those aching muscles and enjoying the view of your garden. There is a also a barbecue and seating for ‘Al Fresco’ dining. There is also a lovely communal decked area, shared with neighbouring barns, overlooking the pond for when you want to enjoy the sunset.

The cottage is down a quiet countryside lane, a few hundred yards outside the village. There are fabulous walks and cycling routes straight from the Barns and the pretty Suffolk Coast is just 30 minutes away. You can hop on one of the available bikes and cycle down the lanes yourself or even enlist the services of Daisy, the very cool resident tandem!

Gipping Barn is dog-friendly and there is ample off-road parking.
