A perfect place in the countryside.
Beautiful peaceful surroundings. The swimming pool was amazing. The grandchildren spent lots of time in there. Great pubs for meals. The host, Dawn, was a very good host with a lot of local information. We all had a very memorable time.

A wonderful cottage.
A wonderful cottage. The obvious selling point is the massive swimming pool which provided hours of entertainment for the kids, but the whole place is spacious, clean and well appointed, including the expansive and lovely grounds. The only gripe - per other reviews - is that the wifi doesn't work. Fortunately the 4G connection is good so it is possible to stay connected, but your mobile data takes a hammering. Of course, for most people the big selling point of the barn is to get away from it all, so arguably not being connected is no bad thing! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The pictures really don’t do this house justice, it is much larger than we expected.
The pictures really don’t do this house justice, it is much larger than we expected. The pool is also much bigger, I think a 25m length with depth ranging from 3ft to 7ft, so ideal for kids and serious swimmers. The layout is excellent, perfect for a family celebration. Each room having its own en suite is a great bonus, and the pool table is really good. We were a bit concerned about the pool, but it doesn’t fill the house with any smell of chlorine or pool chemicals. The BBQ is fairly large charcoal burning, worked well, there is a useful additional fridge freezer in a small shed in the courtyard - beer fridge....finally the grounds, this house has loads of space around it, wish we had brought the golf clubs....the only issue unfortunately was the number of flies. I understand it’s in farmland but there were lots and lots.. fantastic break though and perfect weekend. Thanks Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We as a large family group of various ages had a wonderful holiday. The pool and large gardens were a real plus. If was very well equipped and we do understand that we are in a barn in the middle of the countryside but, could have done with some sort of electric fly zapper like they have in restaurants as the flies did get irritating but not enough to spoil our holiday. We all came back chilled ! Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This is a lovely property with a fantastic pool. Very rural, hence poor wi-fi! Great for a relaxing break - we were very lucky with the weather, but wouldn't have minded if the weather was bad. Kids lived in the pool. Dawn is a great hostess. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Burfields Barn is in a wonderful peaceful location.
Burfields Barn is in a wonderful peaceful location. The Barn is beautiful and very comfortable. The pool is amazing and we used it every day. The owners are nearby if you need them but leave you to enjoy your holiday. This is a great celebration house and whilst we were there we celebrated a 60th birthday. We were a multi-generational family group with ages from 1 to 81 and the Barn proved to be a very safe and clean environment during the ongoing covid 19 situation. We hope to return again to this beautiful Suffolk retreat. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Another great stay at this beautiful barn. Dawn and Roy both make you feel very welcome .

Great weekend away with friends, Burfields Barn is such a lovely place to stay for total relaxation, you feel like you are in the middle of no where so peaceful, but in reality a short drive away from local amenities. Lovely and clean, well equipped with everything we needed and we easily arranged shopping delivery to arrive not long after we did. There was 10 adults and a child in our party, plenty of room and seating for everyone. Rooms were really well presented with plenty of space and comfortable beds, with everyone having en-suite it could not be more ideal for a large party. Pool was a great size and plenty of towels supplied. Would definitely return very welcoming hosts on site in their farm house a short distance away if we needed them but totally left us to our own devices once they handed over to us which made it really private and relaxed. Highly recommend do not hesitate,pictures do not do it justice.

An incredible place! We spent a week here with various family and friends and created memories that will last a long time. It's very secluded, with the most amazing spacious grounds. The whole place was spotless and well equipped, particularly liked the sound system and pool table. The kitchen is very well equipped, too. Kids and adults alike enjoyed the pool which is very large and well maintained. Already working out when we can return...

We had a wonderful week celebrating joint big birthdays. Children and grandchildren spent long weekend. They thoroughly enjoyed the pool and walks with the dogs, it even stopped raining long enough to have a game of football and rounders. When they left it was a quick turnaround for siblings and partners to arrive. Lots of fun with pool competitions and much eating and drinking. The perfect venue.
