I return to suffolk many times every year to visit family, friends and to relax, and Marsh Farm (in particular White Dove Barn) is always my first choice of accomodation. The accomodation is absolutely stunning, which has been amazingly designed to offer all the ultra mod cons you could want (flat screen TV, satellite, sound system, even a pool table!) combining them with traditional features of an English Barn which absolutely retains it’s character (Thatched roof, AGA etc!). To relax here and have your own barn to yourself in such a wonderful location is an absolute pleasure. A jewel in the Waveney Valley!!
Our second visit…. as beautiful as ever. Thanks Greg as usual we had a great time

The barn was lovely and warm in the middle of winter. We Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The fox inn was very warm and welcoming also the crown hotel in Southwold was very good.
