Is Widgeon Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Widgeon is designed as a couples' retreat rather than a family property. The single king-size bedroom sleeps two adults only. However, the rural setting offers countryside exploration opportunities and Africa Alive Zoo is 12 miles away for family days out. The open-plan layout and lack of separate children's spaces make this barn better suited to adult guests seeking a peaceful break.
Groups Will Love...
The private outdoor hot tub at Widgeon creates the perfect romantic setting for this Suffolk barn conversion. Set in the peaceful countryside, you can soak under the stars after days exploring the coast and local nature reserves. The hot tub provides year-round relaxation whatever the weather. Combined with the exposed beams and vaulted ceilings inside, this feature elevates Widgeon from a simple barn conversion to a luxurious countryside escape.
Pet Friendly
Widgeon does not accept pets during your stay. The barn conversion is maintained as a pet-free environment to accommodate guests with allergies or those preferring animal-free holidays. Whilst the surrounding Suffolk countryside and open fields would provide excellent walking opportunities for dogs, the owners have chosen to keep this property pet-free. Guests travelling with pets should look for alternative barn conversions in the area that welcome animals.
