Lovely peaceful setting. Near to Aldeburgh, Southwold, Thorpness. Very comfortable converted barn with large bedroom. Small garden, safe for pet dog, with comfortable outdoor furniture and sun umbrella overlooking fields as far as you can see. 10 minutes from Saxmundham for Tesco or Waitrose.

We went to Chic Hatch Barn for the second time having enjoyed our previous stay there some much. Colin & Carol are the perfect hosts in our opinion, there if you need anything and very friendly. The cottage is perfect if you want to chill out & so relaxing, the bed is very comfortable and there is everything you need. Millie our dog loved the garden watching the horses and getting a bit wound up with the rabbits in the paddock. We will be going back next year.Thank you Carol And Colin for a great week.
