Widgeon, Wheatacre

Widgeon is a spacious converted barn on the Suffolk/Norfolk border, part of a collection of eight renovated farm buildings. Located on the edge of the Waveney Valley on a working arable and dairy farm, this three-bedroom property retains original features like exposed beams and brick walls while offering modern comforts. Perfect for families who need space to spread out without tripping over each other's luggage.

The surrounding countryside offers plenty to explore. Situated near Wheatacre Marshes and the River Waveney, you'll find beautiful walking routes and wildlife spotting opportunities. The site includes woodland areas to wander through and a farm shop for fresh local produce. Want to cool off? You get free swimming at Waveney River Centre - though you might prefer the communal hot tub back at base!

The accommodation features a large open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting room with French doors to the garden. Upstairs, there's a king-size bedroom with en-suite, a zip-link bedroom (can be twins) and a twin room. Two full bathrooms plus a ground floor shower room means no morning queue for the loo - a holiday miracle!

Visit Beccles (6.7 miles) with its historic market town charm, Lowestoft (12.6 miles) for seaside fun, or Norwich (19 miles) for shopping and culture. Closer attractions include Herringfleet Windmill, Beccles Marshes and the Wheatacre White Lion pub for a pint after a day exploring.

Widgeon offers the perfect mix of rural peace and nearby attractions. The hot tub is bookable daily from 6am-10pm - nothing beats stargazing while soaking away your worries!
