We stayed in Byre Cottage for six days which is so homely and in fabulous grounds with everything you could wish.All the Suffolk coast is so close and we had many days in Southwold down to Orford buying the local food and taking it home to eat in a lovely well equipped kitchen.The local pub is so friendly and does excellent food if you don’t want to cook at home.The welcome produce provided by Andrea was a lovely surprise and much appreciated.Charlythe four legged guest was very sad to leave as she was able to out of the doorand have a large field to romp in.

Lovely place. We had a few nights in the Byre which was very comfortable. Well located for the coast. Also for Helmingham Hall, if you like a good garden. Great pub 20 minutes’ walk away across the fields - made for an idyllic summer evening stroll with the dogs. Our kids have grown up now but years ago they would have loved all the outdoor space. Lots of footpaths nearby, great for exploring the countryside.

Gorgeous setting in the Suffolk countryside just a 15min drive to the beach and the pretty little seaside village of Southwold.The accomodation was clean, well equipped and spacious even for a family of 5 with a baby and 2 dogs. The grounds were beautiful with plenty of space for the dogs and kids to have a run about. It was lovely and peaceful (when the kids were in bed at least).The owners left a lovely little welcome hamper with all the essentials and some scrummy local treats.Great location for exploring both Suffolk and neighbouring Norfolk. Would definatly visit again! Loved it!

My dog an I stayed 2 nights in woodpecker. Really great facilities and the owner very helpful and friendly.Only 8 miles from Dunwich and Southwold beaches. Really peaceful place.

Thank you so much for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful farm. We had the most brilliant time in Woodpecker shepherd's hut to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. It was much more spacious than we imagined and it was equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor kitchen was ideal and the proper bathrooms above the cart lodge were an added luxury. We had a great walk in the surrounding fields and the sunsets were stunning. We would love to stay again!

This is an Idyllic & peaceful countryside lodge in a beautiful meadow setting. Ideal for walks and total relaxation.If you want to get away from hustle and bustle this is just the place. The nearest pub/ restaurant is 5 mins away and nearest beach is 20 mins by car.The accommodation was full of character with wooden beams and high quality features making the stay comfortable and special with everything you need when staying away from home.Andrea was very welcoming. The complementary basket was much appreciated.The outdoor seating added extra space to the accommodation and as We had taken our little dog Rosie shedid enjoy the freedom to roam around.We highly recommend this accommodation and will be returning next year.

I cannot recommend this property enough for a relaxing break away.I stayed here with my husband and 2 small dogs and it was perfect.Lots of green space for the dogs to run around safely, and a lovely private outdoor space to dine or relax outdoors.Inside was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed.It is in a great location between Southwold and Aldeburgh both of which we wanted to be close to. This is my second visit and we will be back!!

The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. The facilities excellent and fitted perfectly with the Suffolk countryside. Wonderful stay.

We had such a lovely few days at the Stables. The accommodation was perfect for us, spacious, clean, lovely location. If we come back to the area again we will definitely stay here again without a doubt. Every room was well equipped with what we needed and more!

An excellent property with good parking and in a lovely location.It fully met our needs and expectations....we know the area so were able to walk locally on Dunwich Heath every day!We would certainly return and, also, recommend it to friends.

We stayed at Bunkers Hill Farm in Woodpecker shepherd’s hut in June 2024 and had a lovely weekend. The site is well located in the village, within walking distance to the Queens Head pub.The shepherd’s huts have an outdoor kitchen facility which is very well equipped with sink and gas hob, as well as bbqs and a fire pit for each hut. Internally the hut was a in good condition, and tidy with a very comfy bed.The site has lovely walks around the grounds and is really well maintained.There is a shower block and toilets above the cart lodge as well as composting toilets by the huts.We had such a lovely time and are already planning when we can come back!Thank you to Andrea and James for their hospitality and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

The most idyllic stay. The Byre has everything you need and more.A fabulous location with very welcoming hosts.We enjoyed countryside walks and coastal views during our 3 night stay.We will definitely be back.

The Byre is a super place to stay, so quiet and immaculate in every way. It catered for all our needs and the welcome pack was lovely. We had a delightful week there and loved Suffolk. We have stayed in many places in UK and this was one of the best. Highly recommended. We hope to come back at some point.

We have had another fabulous stay at Bunkers Hill, staying in The Stables, 2 bedroom cottage.When looking for a quiet, get away, somewhere to relax and unwind, this is definitely the place to be. Once parking your car, the only sounds around are the variety of birds. Andrea and James make you feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you like walking, there are over 9km of walks straight from your front door. Superb for walking our dog and not seeing any traffic as we were able to use all the fields, which have wonderfully cut walk bridleways. This is an absolute must staying here. If you do want to use your car, then Halesworth, Southwold, and lots more fabulous places are only a short drive away. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Spent 3 wonderfulnights in Woodpecker, so cosy and it had everything you could need. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets from the shepherds hut with hares dancing in the grass, could not have asked for anything more. Will definitely be back .

We had an amazing stay at the Stables which was exceptionally clean and tidy when we arrived. It felt like a home from home. Andrea and Jim made us feel extremely welcome and nothing was too much trouble.The welcome pack allowed us to make tea and toast and have a drink in the evening. The Adnams beer was most appreciated! We will definitely be back to the stables soon.We often viewed the hares running in the field outside the the lounge window. It was nice to have darkness at night which allowed us to see the stars a lot better than at home.

Living only 30 miles away from this property we wanted to treat ourselves to a "child-free" few days away and we were attracted to this accommodation because of its rural location, but with good access to places that we wanted to visit.We found the accommodation to be very comfortable, clean and relaxing.We especially loved sitting outside in the sunshine using the outside furniture and patio (although the weather didn't allow us to do this much!).Our host was very friendly and accommodating to our requirements.We highly recommend this property.

We absolutely loved our stayed in the Woodpecker hut - it was cosy, clean, and very comfortable. The hut was well equipped, there were plenty of logs to burn for the chilly nights, and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating.We will definitely be back soon!

We stayed at The Byre - it was the perfect place for a getaway to East Suffolk. Peaceful site with easy access to Aldeburgh, Southwold, and lots of other little towns and villages. Well equipped and comfortable cottage. Really enjoyed the log burner on the chilly January evenings!

We had another wonderful stay. The property is first class located in a perfect quiet rural setting. This was our second visit and we cannot wait to return.

My third visit to this lovely place. Spacious and comfortable accommodation for myself and my little dog, Binky. Glorious outlook with dog walks from the front door. Very quiet location, but only a couple of miles from supermarket and local town of Halesworth. I can’t recommend enough.

Had a wonderful cosy time in Woodpecker. The setting was glorious we had everything we needed. Very well equipped kitchen and practical set up. Will be back soon.

What a lovely cottage ! We all loved the peaceful atmosphere ! It’s so comfortable and everything we needed was there . We loved it so much we want to return soon

We had a lovely sunny weekend break and stayed in the immaculate and cosy shepherds hut, Robin. Thanks to Andrea for being so friendly and helpful and for hosting the perfect peaceful holiday accommodation. The hut was spotlessly clean, as were the showers and toilets. Everything was provided for to make our stay so easy.It was the most perfect weekend break and we will definitely be visiting again

We loved our stay at the Bunkers Hill Farm, the hosts were very welcoming and the shepherd huts were fantastic. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were also very comfy - which was very much needed after a long day of walking.It’s hard to find something suitable for 4 very active dogs but Bunkers Hill Farm was perfect for us it has so much space and easy access to fields/woods where the dogs can run and be free.Highly recommend! The dogs loved it just as much as we did.Thanks very much, looking forward to visiting again!

The Stables are beautiful and comfortable, we thoroughly enjoyed our week there, we were able to chill out in beautiful surroundings! So much so we are going back next year and hopefully will be our bolt hole for years to come! Definitely 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Enjoyable stay in the Shepherds Hut Including a massive thunder and lightening storm and heavy rain!Excellent facilities close by including hot showers and a BBQ area assigned to each hut. Co-op supermarket nearby and an excellent pub (Queens Head) for really well prepared food and Sunday lunch.

Had a lovely weekend , our Shepherds hut was perfect, clean and comfortable,everything there that we needed. Lovely location, we look forward to our next visit.

Absolutely blown away with the location, the cleanliness, the ambience, all of it. The owners could not have been more accommodating. Even though we were in and out we felt like we’d been been treated as though we were there for 2 weeks! Thank you so much. Will be back.

We had a wonderful weekend in the shepherd huts!  They are all kitted out with fridge, kettle, toaster and crockery/cutlery, a seating area and plenty of storage space for your bags.  Two of them have woodburning stoves inside – we didn’t need to use these in the summer weather but they would be super cosy in the winter time.  The beds were so comfy, and it was truly lovely to wake up and open the door straight out onto the countryside!Each hut has its own fire and seating outside, and there is a covered area in the centre of the field for everyone to sit together.   The outdoor kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook - for our BBQ we picked up some great meat from the local butchers in Bramfield.  The Two Magpies is a great breakfast spot, only a short drive away and you can sit outside if the sun is shining.  Our host Andrea was great, and made our stay really special. We will definitely be back!

The best location! We went to a different beach every day (a 1 week stay), lovely different towns and villages to explore and fantastic dog walks all within very easy reach. Secluded but not isolated. So dog friendly which is really welcoming. Lovely friendly owners, relaxed and warm. Accommodation was to a really high spec with everything thing you need, really cosy and comfortable. Would highly recommend, thank you for a super week!

What a lovely location for a quiet outdoorsy holiday. We came with our two teenage boys, so they had a hut each. We had so much space and well thought out design meant we had a well stocked outside kitchen, compost loos and sink (but there are flushing inside loos and proper showers inside too). There is a huge lawn and another picnic area.. shade under the trees and play tennis, or go for a walk in the fields and ancient woodland. Truly a slice of heaven and will definitely return.

We stayed at Bunkers Hill Farm for a couple of nights as a family, for a last minute Birthday celebration - Andrea took our booking at short notice and was extremely helpful when we arrived, providing us with local recommendations for food and places to visit. We had an absolutely brilliant stay despite the rain! The shepherds huts are very cosy and comfortable, and the farm is set in beautiful countryside. We will certainly be back!

Got away from it all for a few days. Super nice people, super peaceful location and the most comfortable bed my husband has ever slept in. The yurt was light and spacious and in a beautiful position. There were other guests around, but we felt very private and secluded in our yurt field. It was a perfect mix of creature comforts and camping out.

Arrived at Bunkers Hill Farm and was not disappointed. Beautiful accommodation and stunning location. Very peaceful. Huge area to explore, walk or run. Kids loved the tennis court! Enjoyed meeting Buzz the dog and Rocky the sheep and of course the lovely owners. The accommodation had everything we needed. Very comfortable and clean. Enjoyed sitting out in the evening watching the hares and birds in the grounds.This is a great location for exploring Suffolk.Highly recommend Bunkers Hill Farm .

Had a very nice two night stay in one of the shepherd huts. Lovely setting, very well looked after and Jim and Andrea had thought of everything. Excellent

My partner, dog and I stayed in the Stables for a week, the cottage was very comfortable and has been furnished to a high standard, we both enjoyed the peaceful and tranquil surroundings, sitting on the patio on a sunny evening was great, chatted with Jim (owner) a few times who made us feel welcome and has a good knowledge of the local area, the farm is in a great location for visiting the area, I would certainly highly recommend the accommodation and would definitely stay again if we visit the area again.

Great area, clean hut and lovely host

Lovely accommodation in a fabulous setting . Fantastic place to un wind . Morning coffee with only the sound of birds . Ideal for visiting surrounding places

Had a lovely week. Cottage very comfortable clean and everything we needed, the welcome treats were thoughtful and much appreciated. We will definitely be back,

A lovely place, will visit again.

Lovely stay welcome pack nice touch,The Byre was a nice size for two plenty of space in the grounds Andrea and James very helpful and knowledgeable about the area would highly recommend and would stay again

The Byte is perfect for an elderly couple like us. The Suffolk countryside is wonderful and the coast only a few minutes away. We didn't use the wood burner as the central heating kept the accommodation warm and cosy. We plan on returning some time in the future.

Just perfect for our 2 night getaway thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this peaceful location the host was first class

Thank you so so much for having us to stay at your beautiful place! We had everything we needed for a perfect first family holiday since the pandemic. Andrea was so helpful from the minute I first enquired and during the whole stay. The huts were lovely, and we had two evenings making bbqs and fires under a glorious sunset. Would love to return!

Managed a last minute weekend away at Bunkers Hill Farm staying in one of the lovely shepherds huts. Really lovely place and well thought out. Particularly loved that each hut has it's own private area with outside seating, fire pit etc and loved watching the sun go down and stars come out. Great location - feels remote but close enough to Southwold, Walberswick etc. Check out the Queens Head in Bramfield too, lovely pub. Will definitely be returning to Bunkers Hill Farm!

I am eternally glad we have found Bunkers Hill Farm as we will most certainly be returning.It was a last minute decision to book a shepherds hut here and we were warmly welcomed by Andrea & Jim!The shepherds huts are beautifully set out with ample space and privacy.They are extremely well equipped and cosy.The communal kitchen area is just perfect too.I highly recommend this tranquil location the sunsets were incredible!Thank you so much for your kind hospitality, we will see you very soon.

My two girls and I loved the huts and all the grounds and facilities were lovely and like new. The hut was comfortable and having the picnic table and firepit was great. Having use of the tennis court was a nice touch and only having a small number of huts and cottages etc meant you could actually use it! A lovely location close to nice pubs and also the amazing Two Magpies Bakery. The owners have got the place set up just right and we'd definitely go back.

Had a wonderful 4 night stay with our 4 legged friend. The Byre was a great place to stay, great walks over the surrounding fields. Visited all the local beaches, Queens head in the village is worth a visit. Thank you so much.

What a beautiful week! Always lovely to see you all, 15 weeks and counting until the next time .....

Had a lovely week and seeing my friends from Suffolk. James was good when my car went wrong and took me to a mechanic and got it fixed, they are a lovely family!

As always, had a wonderful stay here. Many thanks to Andrea and James for all the goodies...Mark had a fab birthday! Will definitely be back... again!
