Beautiful barn conversion in the grounds of a John Constable painted house with its own family sized swimming pool for exclusive guest use.

• The owners left us a welcome package of apple juice, bread, biscuits and eggs. All very welcome, especially the apple juice which, although looking challenging, was total nectar!
• Yew Tree Barn is very well located for the “Constable Country” of Stoke-by-Nayland / Flatford / Dedham / East Bergholt etc.
• Yew Tree Barn (YTB) is spacious, beautifully appointed and well equipped. Many places we stay are pretty but clearly have not considered that, having unpacked, you need to leave the suitcases / boxes and bags somewhere. This does not apply to YTB. We used the second bedroom but there was space on the landing . There was also space enough for our clothes and the bathroom had more than enough space for our personal items. There is nothing worse than finding a pretty bathroom but without enough space for your toothbrushes, razor etc.
• One point my wife, the cook, made was that there is no Microwave, an essential item in today’s world.
• We could not try out the outside facilities since the weather was rather unkind.
• As an Octogenarian who likes a shower, not a bath, I would appreciate a support bar behind the bath to help getting in and out!

We stayed for 12 nights with 2 adults and 2 children aged 4 and 5. We loved the barn and the owners helped to make the stay a delight.

The swimming pool was well used and helped to keep it children entertained. It's a beautiful area and we would not hesitate to return in the future.



Super secluded

We had a lovely week at Yew Tree Barn. The property, while being in the owners garden, is totally secluded behind private gates and the village of Higham is out in the countryside but still only a short drive to Ipswich and Hadleigh.
Although we didn't see Nina and Roger during the week they left us a lovely welcome note and basket which we really appreciated. Knowing they were next door if we had any issues gave us peace of mind. The barn accommodation is spacious and the kitchen, while on the smaller side, is fully kitted out and we cooked up a storm every night. I loved looking out onto the gorgeous garden and watching the wildlife out there of an evening. Lots of bunnies and even a duck when it was raining!

There are no pubs or shops in Higham, which suited us fine. We were also able to do a couple of walks from the property and got as far as Dedham on one and Nayland on another. We chose this property due to its proximity to The Essex Way which I have been walking bits of for a couple of years. I was stuck in the middle and during the week we managed to complete Dedham to Wakes Colne in a number of loops. Nowhere is far from Higham but the roads are windy and can be narrow - we had great fun splashing through puddles in the car.
The Colne and Dedham vales are a beautiful part of the Essex countryside and I would highly recommend visiting and staying at Yew Tree Barn. We would recommend The Royal Bengal in Hadleigh for a curry (we grabbed a takeaway from there the night we arrived).
