A New Luxury Self-Catering Barn Conversion

We would love your input to help us shape our ideas

We are very excited here at The Suffolk Escape as we are currently working on plans for a new self catering holiday property set a mile away from our existing log cabins in a secluded area of our farm in Suffolk. This luxury barn conversion would be available for those looking for a large, self-catering property to escape to with other friends and family in a private, rural location. This four bedroom property would sleep up to 10 people and could potentially feature its own fitness pool, hot tub, bunk room and much more.

We also want to make this project ideal for those interested in the fitness world who wish to holiday with family or friends and also want time for training; whether that be for gentle exercise, rehabilitation or even those preparing for a Triathlon/Iron Man. (If you know anybody else in this market who you think could help us with their input too please could you forward this onto them, we would be ever so grateful.)

Equally important is that our regular Log Cabin guests are reassured that nothing would change around the adult only log cabins – this quiet and peaceful location will stay just as it always has (this new project is approx. 1 mile away).

Before we start our designs and planning application for the council we would really appreciate your help to ensure our final designs/ideas create the perfect destination, so please could take just 5 minutes to complete the 10 questions below. As we really appreciate your feedback we will put all the responses into a draw for a £100 hamper of Adnams wine, beer and other goodies.

Many thanks,

Andrew and The Suffolk Escape team
