Farmstay vacation rentals in River Stour

Perfect location in the country side. Easy to drive to Stowmarket. Plus good train links if you didn’t want to drive to Bury St Edmund. Accommodation modern and very clean. Loved the bird song in the back garden over a cup of tea. Highly recommend.

Lovely accommodation. Very rustic and would suit most who like a bohemian lifestyle. We enjoyed our stay, although the uneven floors and steep stairs to the top bedroom presented a challenge. We arrived very late, in the dark, and although we had a little difficulty finding the property, Kate was very helpful, and we found our way. Overall, a great stay.

We really loved our stay at the cabin. The property itself was really lovely and had great social areas and the bedrooms were all lovely with comfy beds! Everything we needed was provided and more. The surrounding was also really nice and peaceful. We only stayed one night but would happily stayed for a few more.

It was a piece full stress free stay anything that I needed was promptly brought to the door as fast as fastbcouid be was a simple and easy to find and seem like they know what they are doing I will definateky be coming back again

Really peaceful location, with direct access to the Ickworth estate. Perfect hideaway for a catch up with friends.

We went for our friend’s birthday and had a wonderful time. The hot tub and Sauna was just lovely and very relaxing. Lovely cottage perfect for 4 people. The host was very responsive and recommended a fabulous restaurant nearby. I would advise to come to Diss by car as the cab service was not great so had difficulty getting about. You have to book cabs in advance. Overall it was Great weekend

Lovely old cottage; very well appointed and very comfortable. I can't fault it. it's in an ideal location for Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, Framlingham, Woodbridge and the Suffolk coast. The owner is really nice too. Highly recommended.

Great accommodation- spacious and light with everything you need to enjoy time with family and friends. The peace and view is glorious! Easy walk down to Estuary and you could abandon the car for a few days and just walk from the door , so many footpaths. Local Community Shop within walking distance, well stocked and has yummy home made cakes !

We had a wonderful few days at The Cowshed. It was beautifully finished and extremely well kitted out with everything we could possibly need including fresh eggs and bread and treats, bowl/bed for our dog which was a lovely touch. There was a large secure garden with gorgeous views of the sunset and passing deer and lots of nice walks from the property. Nicola was incredibly responsive, helpful with recommendations of local places to visit and even first aid advice/supplies when our dog cut himself on a walk! I would definitely recommend this spot if you want to escape and enjoy some peace and quiet!

Absolutely perfect! Beautiful lodge, spotlessly clean, great amenities and a lovely location. Excellent communication from Hayley, very friendly and a great host. Couldn’t ask for more, will be back soon!

Judith was the most attentive host. Answering questions in a jiffy and nothing was too much trouble. My daughter and I are vegan and Judith went to the effort of getting us some vegan treats which was hugely appreciated. Everything was catered for. There was a tent pitched next to us and it had lovely neighbours in. The only shame was that we couldn’t pet the horses. They are beautiful. We especially loved all of the flowers potted around the area. Thank you ☺️

We had a lovely 5 night stay. The cottage was comfortable and well furnished, and the kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. There were a couple of low doorways which were fine for me but my husband had to remember to duck. The surroundings were beautiful countryside and the host was friendly and easy to contact with any questions. We would recommend this property.

Peaceful stay at this lovely very large house. Kids were well catered for with the games room and big garden with swings. Everything with spotless and Catherine was so helpful. We loved it

Sara’s place is honestly a hidden gem. It is the perfect retreat for a peaceful relaxing stay. The accommodation is great, comfortable beds, top notch bathroom facilities and the kitchen is very well stocked. There are basics in the kitchen but I would recommend taking some oil, seasonings as we have to pop out for these when we got there. The garden is perfect for your pup to have a run around and is well enclosed so no escaping. I have saved Sara’s place as planning to head back there with my mum hopefully this year! It felt like a home away from home.

Madeleine and Jessica’s place is a wonderful place to enjoy countryside views, tranquility and the chance to see lots of different animals. My son loved seeing the ducklings and the goats. The cottage is perfect and the view from the garden is great. A nice relaxing break

Honestly a perfect stay and well beyond expectations. The guide with locals pubs ect was fab, the enclosed space for the dogs was amazing. They loved running around in the little meadows created. Every detail was thoroughly thought out. A very special weekend and we cannot wait to return. Thank you Bev and Stu

We had an excellent stay. The house is spacious, with multiple areas to sit and relax. It’s a private property, so very peaceful to chill out for a few days. We had everything we needed for the stay and certainly enjoyed sitting in the lounge and watching the wildlife pass by. Sharon is a great communicator, which made the stay very easy. Thank you!

We had a wonderful stay at this amazing little cottage set on a working farm. The views across the fields were absolutely stunning—truly a breath of fresh air. It was the ideal place to unwind and disconnect. Mary and her team were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. They even offered us a later checkout, which was such a kind gesture (though we sadly had to decline as we were eager to get home to see our son). The hot tub was a fantastic bonus, perfect for relaxing after a peaceful day. And the complimentary bottle of wine, A lovely touch—it went down very well! The nearby village of East Harling is just a 30-minute walk away and has everything you need for a quiet retreat—whether it’s grabbing some basic groceries or enjoying a drink at one of the friendly local pubs. It’s great not having to rely on the car at all. We would highly recommend this cottage to any couple looking for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay at Amanda’s place. The location is perfect for exploring the local area on foot and trips out in the car. We had nice meals at both the local pubs, they are both within easy walking distance. Amanda’s place is perfect, very clean and full of character. We love Suffolk and have now found a great place to stay on future visits.

We had a lovely stay at this cottage! It was set up really well for us with a great twin room for our daughters, lots of games in the lounge and the kitchen area onto the big garden was great for the dog. The cottage is positioned really well, close to Snape and Aldeburgh, the farm shop is a 4 min drive and had everything we needed. We did lots of lovely walks including to the local village pub. We were really lucky with the weather and the garden having fields on 2 sides gave us beautiful views morning and night. The chocolates were also a highlight!

Back from an amazing weekend stay at the Cowshed. The accommodation was spotless, lovely welcome basket on arrival and a well stocked kitchen if you are looking to cook in. Used as a base to explore on the bikes and was perfect in every way. Bath a lovely touch after a long cycle ride! Rebecca was very responsive to answer questions and would 100% recommend to others. Located in a beautiful part of the world.

The space turned out to be more beautiful than anticipated. we truly enjoyed our stay

Beautiful stay. Fantastic surroundings and location. The lodge was homely and the pots of jam and fudge were tasty. Also the hot chocolate/coffee machine with mint chocolates was so nice! Would love to come back and stay again.

A wonderful house in beautiful surroundings. It also had that more difficult to attain "presence", with each room allowing you to relax and experience its homeliness and history. The whole family (6 adults and 2 grandchildren) thoroughly enjoyed our stay to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. No-one really wanted to leave. Waking up to see the expanse of manicured gardens from bedroom windows and breakfast room was a calming relaxing pleasure. Plenty of walks available, and the walk to the local pub for an evening meal was safe and easy along quiet country roads. Would certainly recommend.
