Lound Holiday Retreat

Escape to this luxurious single-level barn conversion, which is tucked away in a chic complex of properties in the quaint village of Lound. Sleeping six people across three bedrooms, this is an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends in search for a luxurious cottage to call home while they discover the wild beauty of the Suffolk coast together. During the day, set off to explore the beautiful Victorian manor and meticulously designed gardens of Somerleyton Hall - if you have the kids with you, they're sure to love the estate's famous yew maze. In the evening, come home to enjoy a relaxing soak in the cottage's outdoor hot tub before bedtime.

Park in your private spot (there's room for two vehicles) and step into this gorgeous holiday home. You'll be greeted by a welcoming lobby that opens into an impressive open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. Take a moment to relax in the lounge area and soak in the luxurious interior, which features smart limestone floors, beautiful, exposed beams and stylish artwork, before you head to the sleek kitchen area to cook up a storm. Host a delicious dinner at the formal dining table, or make your way to the lovely shared garden to dine alfresco on your large private patio. Afterwards, take a peaceful dip in the hot tub, or head to the elegant lounge area to stretch out on the sofa and catch up on your favourite TV show. At the end of the day, there are three sophisticated king-size bedrooms to choose from, each featuring its own en-suite shower room and patio doors leading out onto the patio area. Head into Lound village (1 mile) and you'll discover the medieval St John the Baptist Church, a quaint village green and some cosy cafes, as well as footpaths leading into the Broads National Park. Alternatively, make your way to Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve (6.5 miles), to hike through the wildflower meadows and spot lapwings and redshanks.
