Why stay with us?

Relaxing or active holidays

You can do more than just relax during your stay here. There are extensive footpaths, tracks and quiet roads for walkers and cyclists. With a launching point into the Alde Estuary why not bring a Kayak or Canoe. There is cycle storage for guests to use and plenty of space near your barn for parking. The Suffolk Heritage Coast offers many places of historical interest and attractions, beaches, forests and heaths. It is also ideal for bird spotting, both directly from Iken Barns and also from the local reserves such as Snape Warren and Minsmere. Alternatively you may just want to stay on site and relax with a book. Whatever you choose we are confident you will return home fully recharged.

Dogs welcome

We welcome up to two well behaved dogs per property. Dogs need to be kept on a lead on the Iken Barns site. The Alde Estuary is only a short walk away and there are many walks locally and further afield. There are great dog friendly pubs, restaurants, attractions and beaches so you may be disappointed if you leave your four legged friends at home.

Eating in or out

We are surrounded by fantastic restaurants, pubs and gastro pubs and most eateries offer locally sourced food. There is a choice of 3 pubs in Snape, just a 30 minute walk from Iken Barns. With a well equipped kitchen you can bring back and cook produce from one of the well stocked local farm shops and enjoy a meal in our outside your property. Although Iken is only a few minutes from good road networks and the A12 you will forget about the fast pace of everyday life and soon feel completely relaxed here. Whatever your reason for visiting we are confident you will love it here.
