I loved this Airbnb and both hosts were really friendly and nice to chat to. I’m a big dog fan so loved the greeting I got whenever I came through. The bed was extremely comfy and I no longer like my own bed due to this so that’s the only downfall. Great stay and I’d recommend to anyone.

Had such a lovely few days break away from the craziness of life. Had everything we needed for our stay. Nyree was available throughout our stay. She had given us instructions on how to get there as its slightly hidden away which is what we wanted. We booked a lunch meal (recommended by Nyree to us) at the Henny Swan , thats just down the road. which is a must do. Its not far from Sudbury which is a lovely little town, found some nice walks too. Have to add that i have fallen in love with the kettle 🤣, game changer for Tea/Coffee lovers

5* Luxury Barn Conversion in Great Bardfield

NicoleRating, 5 stars3 days ago

Ben was a proactive and friendly host from the point of booking. Prior to our arrival he sent a great lot of info on hot spots to visit and tips for the area. This was really great having not stayed locally before! The property was very modern, minimalist, clean and well equipped. It was easy to access and set in the most beautiful garden. If you are into gardening/flowers you will love this AirBnB!! We met Ben during our stay and he was extremely welcoming. A bottle of fizz was left for our arrival which was a lovely touch! The bi fold doors were perfect for this hot weather. We would 100% return and recommend this property to others looking for some peace and quiet, close to a local pub, with nice walks and nearby towns for shopping and eating!

SebastianRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The location of this beautiful listing is idyllic. I was only here for one evening while away for work, I was made to feel at home immediately by the farm dog (Ash). You’ll tire out far before he does while playing fetch. The peace and tranquility of the farm is so pleasant to be around. I was fortunate to have good weather and enjoyed a long cycle around the county. The farm eggs were very welcomed and I purchased more to support local. If you find yourself in the area, you’ll struggle immensely to find something more beautiful and well valued. I’ll certainly be back in the future.
