Situated between the village of Felsham and Hessett, the Stable Barn enjoys a secluded position in open countryside, with the hamlet of Smallwood Green nearby and Bradfield Woods within easy walking distance.
The beautifully renovated Stable Barn forms part of a complete and rare 17th century linear farmstead known as Smallwood Farmhouse, the house itself being Grade II listed.
With attention to detail and a luxury finish, the owners have been keen to preserve aspects of the Stable Barn’s unique heritage, hence the inclusion of a ‘feature’ wall in the sitting room and bedroom which showcases the building’s timber framework, alongside the incorporation of a number of original beams.
Accessed via three wooden steps which lead up to a spacious decking area (an ideal place for dining al fresco in the warmer months or simply to enjoy an aperitif and watch the sun go down), the single storey accommodation opens directly into a large and spacious kitchen/dining area, fully equipped for all self-catering needs.
There is a separate comfortable living room and one double bedroom with a King size bed, and an adjoining spacious shower room. All the rooms benefit from high ceilings and the stunning picture windows ensure the rooms are light-filled whilst also affording spectacular views of the garden and neighbouring fields.
A private area of garden is clearly designated for guests to enjoy; the wider garden areas surrounding the Farmhouse itself are open annually for charity under the National Garden Scheme.
The vibrant market town of Bury St Edmunds is just a 15 minute drive away and with easy access to the A14, The Stable Barn is an ideal location for exploring West Suffolk and the further delights of the East Anglian region.

Excellent location, the Barn is cosy, in the same time modern and has all facilities to provide an enjoyable stay. This is a place where I will return without any doubt. It was lovely to meet Catherine and Philipp, thank you for the enjoyable stay!

Delightful stay in this beautifully converted barn in the Suffolk countryside, a couple of miles from the nearest villages, and walks such as Bradfield Woods. Very peaceful & quiet, with a veranda and views of fields, trees and local wildlife (we were visited by a muntjac deer and hare). As well as to a spacious kitchen and living room with high ceilings, the barn has its own grand piano (well-tuned), and a great acoustic! This barn was in fact previously owned by my parents, who lived in the nearby thatched cottage. They had ambitions to convert it but never got round to it - so it's great to see the new owners have done such a wonderful job! Tip: bring a sleep mask as the bedroom is bright in the mornings.

Our stay at the Stable Barns was absolutely perfect. The rural setting was truly idyllic, and the property felt warm and cosy - exactly what you hope for on Christmas Day. Everything was spotless, and the quality of the kitchen and furnishings was excellent. The kitchen was also very well equipped, which made cooking easy and enjoyable. The host was extremely responsive (even on Christmas Eve!), which was greatly appreciated. If you’re considering booking, I highly recommend it.

Stunning area, beautiful place. Host left several instructions to make life so much easier. We found the what 3 words to be the best way to find the place. Lovely welcome package consisting of apple juice made locally with jams and biscuits. Few spiders a moth and lots of dust/ pet hair around but general cleanliness was good. Price wise 142 a night was quite expensive but it was our first stay away for our 1 year anniversary so worth it for the beautiful churches which are around 20 drive mins away. Overall 4/5 will return for another stay in the future

The house is very large for a 1 bed/1 bath and it made for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the grounds are well maintained. I would recommend the house to anyone looking to stay in the area.

My wife and I enjoyed staying at this BnB, we enjoyed the privacy and the place was beautifully furnished and clean. We loved the feel of the place as it felt like home, we look forward to booking again in the future.

We had a fabulous and relaxing stay in this tastefully decorated and well equipped barn conversion for a couple. The place is spacious and comfortable. The fresh plums, apple juice and tea / coffee / milk / biscuits were a lovely touch. The private garden and deck was a peaceful place to sit out. There was comprehensive information both about the place and local amenities. Catherine and Philip were very welcoming and friendly hosts. We would highly recommend.

It was a really nice day, although it was hard to navigate the area with no car
