Dunnetts Farm, Huntingfield, Halesworth

 

 

Reviews

Shortly after launching Dunnetts Farm Barn the property was assessed by Original Cottages as part of their quality standard scheme and we are very proud to have achieved (and retained ever since) their highest rating – 5 star gold.

Awards are great, but at the end of the day it is what our guests say that is most important to us. The following are comments lifted directly from our Visitors Book:

"We all had a brilliant time, accommodation is magnificent – and watching England play on the big screen was amazing."
Annette, John, Karen, Graham, Denise and Konrad - 22nd November 2022

 

"It has all been said before! We have had a wonderful time in your beautifully, and thoughtfully developed, barn. There is everything here for all ages. We loved the wildlife videos – the badgers and owls were particular favourites. So many hidden gems in the area, including the Low House in Laxfield and the ceiling at St Mary's church, Huntingfield. Many thanks from all of us."

"This is our third visit, which tells you a lot about how comfortable the barn is, and what a good base it is to explore the surrounding area. As usual, Paul and Sandra made us feel very welcome. An extra bonus this year was viewing Paul's wild life videos and pictures on the 'big screen' – the Little Owl chicks were very cute."
Nick, Hilary and Edward - 1st – 8th October 2022

 

"Although I have only been here for a few days, I have loved every minute and wish it could have been a longer visit. Thank you for a wonderful place."

Anne (guest of John and Maggie) - 24th – 28th September 2022

 

"Thank you once again, Sandra and Paul! Nothing was too much for you to ensure that we had a happy and restful time. Paul's videos from his Train Cameras provided marvellous insight into the night life around the barn and its fields – a must see to view otters, badgers, foxes and assorted bird life. We are so happy to see how Sandra and Paul take care of the local wildlife and environment on the farm – providing a 'safety net' for our wild friends to take rest, eat and raise their young. After a 3 year absence due to the pandemic it was lovely to be here once again. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

John and Maggie - 3rd – 29th September 2022

 

"Another wonderful week of peace and beauty. Thank you Paul and Sandra for making this wildlife paradise such an enjoyable place. A lovely place to escape to. Thank you Sandra and Paul for letting us share all this with you. The pitch and putt was fun, the films amazing. Have enjoyed being here, picking blackberries, wild plums etc. So much to see and do. We leave reluctantly – but if you don't go you can't return. Thank you for an amazing week, the peace and calm worked its magic again and I can't wait to return. Big thanks to Sandra and Paul, the perfect hosts and for sharing your wonderful films with us. Enjoyed my first ever round of golf, even though I was rubbish, maybe better next time! Just love being here."

"Two wonderful weeks with our second family Sandra, Paul, Barney and Otis. We have just had the most lovely stay yet again and are already booked in for next year. Everything was as good as before but even more magical. The kids loved seeing the badgers, foxes and muntjacs on the camera footage. Thank you so much Paul for involving them with that, a real highlight of the visit. We particularly enjoyed the piggy trail at Eye, Framlingham Castle, swimming at Ubbeston Lodge, shopping in Aldeburgh and the Cheese Room at the Friday Street Barns. Thank you once again Sandra and Paul for a tremendously fun stay and for making us feel like family. We love you!"
Helen, Jon, Tilly & Finn - 12th – 26th August 2022

 

"Another lovely holiday at Dunnetts Farm was had by all. Glorious weather. Perfect for walking, biking. Been to Dunwich (lovely fish and chips from Café), Framlingham Castle. Also spent several lunch times at the Laxfield Low House, can recommend. Once again thank you Paul and Sandra for making us feel so welcome, great to see all the animals. We loved watching all the wild life captured on your trail cameras. Thank you for everything."

The Smith & Radusin families - 29th July – 12th August 2022

 

"Another great week at Dunnetts Farm, thank you Sandra and Paul. Thank you for your fabulous hospitality as always – and for the wildlife adventures! We loved our time at the pond this year – with the hammock being a fabulous addition! And it was great to meet Otis. See you again next year."

The Brachers - 29 July 2022

 

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this barn, particularly the far reaching views and wildlife! We visited Dunwich Heath, Southwold, Thorpeness, Snape and Sutton Hoo. Would definitely recommend the Fox & Goose at Fressingfield for an evening meal! Thank you Sandra and Paul for being such wonderful hosts. We enjoyed our chats and look forward to returning sometime."

Gill & Keith - 8th July 2022

 

"Sandra and Paul, thank you for making us feel so welcome in your lovely home. We've had a thoroughly enjoyable week, helped by the beautiful weather. We've seen a lot of the wonderful Suffolk countryside. The house has had everything we needed, great instruction book".

Roger, Gill, Barry & Penny - 16 June 2022

 

"We all had a most delightful stay at your accommodation during the Jubilee weekend. So relaxing and very peaceful surroundings. Had some nice days out exploring. Your accommodation was well equipped and very comfortable. The men enjoyed the fishing at the lake. Would not hesitate to return and would highly recommend."

"We had a lovely week here in this beautiful barn. Such a beautiful place. The barn is so well equipped, every need is catered for. We all had a wonderful time. It was so relaxing. So much to see and do nearby. The countryside is stunning. Paul and Sandra were so welcoming. We loved the wildlife footage that had been captured so close by! Thank you for a memorable holiday."

"A perfect bolt hole for a week away. We loved sitting out near the pond at the end of each day, watching the abundant bird life. The accommodation was very comfortable, with loads of "extras" and homely touches. Paul and Sandra were excellent hosts – full of useful advice. We would encourage future lodgers to ask to see Paul's footage of the badger sett. All-in-all a very relaxing, comfortable home for a week."

Norman & Carol - 6 May 2022

 

"A fantastic week spent in a superb barn conversion. Paul and Sandra are great, so attentive and full of knowledge of all the local amenities and wildlife. Shared some great footage of the badger sett with us. It's a week we will never forget. Thank you."
Darren, Lorraine, Eileen & Arthur - 29th April 2022

 

"Thank you so much Paul and Sandra for letting us share in the beautiful, amazing surroundings of your home. We are all so envious of what you wake up to every morning!! The barn is a credit to you both, we have never stayed anywhere so well equipped, you have truly thought of everything. We hope we can return again very soon."
Julie, Rob, Cherry, Harvey & Dulcie - 15th April 2022

 

"Return visit as enjoyable as the first. Beautiful weather and managed to fit a lot into our long weekend. Thanks for all the little extras such as the bread, milk, and bottle of fizz. Off now but look forward to returning again."
Nick & Lynn 25-28 March 2022

 

"Thanks for a perfect stay. It couldn't have been better!!! A bientot."
Jackie, Gill and Paul, Anne and John - 27 February 2022

 

"A week of dramatic weather – from sunshine and showers to gale force winds. We remained warm and cosy in this lovely barn with its beautiful view. We mixed coastal walks with watching the winter Olympics and running our own Olympic challenge using the games room and board games we brought with us. A perfect relaxing winter break. Thank you Paul and Sandra, we are sorry to be leaving."
