Sweffling is a peaceful hideaway in the Suffolk countryside, nestled between the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the winding rivers of inland Suffolk.

The safari tents are spacious and comfortable, featuring wood-burning stoves, real beds and en-suite facilities, while solar lighting and natural materials maintain a low environmental footprint. Guests can enjoy the farm’s seasonal produce, relax in the wildflower meadows, or spot local wildlife including deer, owls and hedgehogs. With the heritage coastline just a short drive away, day trips to Aldeburgh, Southwold, or RSPB Minsmere are easy and rewarding. At night, the sky fills with stars, offering one of the best stargazing spots in the region. Sweffling is a serene and sustainable retreat for couples, families and anyone craving a true countryside escape, filled with hiking, exploring nearby market towns and relaxing by the fire.

The safari tents provide all the comforts of home—real beds, a wood-fired stove and a private shower room—while encouraging a simpler, slower pace of life. Guests can stroll along waymarked footpaths, visit nearby Exmoor or the Quantock Hills, or enjoy a day trip to the Somerset coast. In the evenings, gather around the firepit or sit under the stars with a glass of wine in hand. With its mix of comfort, nature and rural experiences, Kittisford Barton is a perfect glamping getaway in the heart of the West Country.

This off-grid glamping experience is ideal for couples, families, or groups looking for a unique countryside break in a truly picturesque part of the East Midlands.
The cottage is in a stunning peaceful location. Well equipped and cosy with very comfortable beds. It is very well located just outside Broadway and is a great base for exploring the Cotswolds
Thank you for your lovely comments. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in the hills above Broadway.
Buckland Wood Barn is a magical place. Secluded but only a few minutes from Broadway. We stayed for Xmas and the owners set up a Xmas tree and there were Xmas decorations - so festive. The cottage is warm and cosy and well appointed. A great retreat!
We are really pleased that you had such a lovely Christmas at Buckland Wood Barn and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on the property.
Great cottage in a very private spot. Close to all the Coswolds best sites. Very nice owner who was there to greet us. Couldn’t recommend higher.
Thank you very much for leaving your feedback and your excellent recommendation for Buckland Wood Barn
This Holiday Retreat is situated in a beautiful area of the cotswolds. It is very comfortably furnished and we had everything we needed in the kitchen for self catering including a large hamper filled with useful goodies on arrival. The owners are living nearby and were happy to sort any problems such as replacing a lightbulb. There is a lovely seating area outside which unfortunately we were unable to take advantage of because of a drop in temperature but the barn was warm and cosy inside.
A great retreat, close to the wonderful village of Broadway, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, bedrooms separate, its the perfect escape.
Lovely property in a beautiful location 5 minutes from the centre of Broadway. Warm and cosy. The Christmas tree was much appreciated.
The barn is a wonderfully characterful cottage in peaceful and beautiful surroundings and is ideally situated to explore the many local attractions. We enjoyed our short stay and would definitely visit again.
Overall the house is very nice, well located for Broadway and walks from the doorstep. I would agree with other reviews in that the house definitely needs a new sofa and a new mattress in the bedroom with the shower.
Cottage was great, spacious and location was very private and quiet . Fantastic location
Beautiful location and cottage. Great location for walking and relaxing. David and Flora were fantastic hosts. The hamper was amazing. We had a very relaxing and enjoyable week.
What a wonderful peaceful and calming place full of joy and full of space to feel relaxed and welcomed. The accommodation was excellent and so comfortable. We would highly recommend this lovely barn to stay for a week or even two. Thank you, we will book again next year for this barn in 2023.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Buckland Wood Barn. With 2 en-suite bedrooms it was ideal accommodation for 2 couples. Lovely location and so peaceful with walks directly from the barn. Broadway is about a mile away is delightful with plenty of good places to eat. Recommend Tattersalls at the Broadway Hotel. The barn was well equipped except there were only 4 hangers in each wardrobe. The internet was extremely slow (7mb!)which was very frustrating, and it sometimes struggled with Netflix streaming. We didn’t see the owners and it was annoying that the dogs were allowed to roam and their mess wasn’t cleared up. The welcome hamper was great and we did appreciate that dishwasher and washing tablets were supplied. The beds were very comfortable.
Lovely cottage and location great for exploring local Cotswolds. Fabulous gardens to visit nearby and Broadway is great!
A beautiful barn conversion in a location. Tastefully decorated, thoughtfully arranged, everything you could want. Above all clean and fragrance-free. Wonderful welcome hamper too.
Every thing was as we expected
Fabulous location, nice spacious barn and really enjoyed our stay - we'll be back! Could do with a lick of paint and a deep clean though.
Great setting and location. The property is a converted barn, tastefully decorated and very comfortable for your stay.
Buckland Wood Barn is a more unusual Rural Retreats property but a fine old building. The barn conversion has two reasonable sized bedrooms both with five-foot beds and en-suites. There is a toilet downstairs as well which is most convenient. Set in a huge private estate next door to the owner's own splendid house (which is close by but hidden behind trees) there are sheep, horses and many pheasants. I think they are possibly a hunting and shooting kind of family going by the guest book comments. It is ideally situated for visiting many places of interest in the Cotswolds along with eateries in Broadway from ordinary pub grub to fine dining. The standard of the hamper was pretty good compared to some though the basket itself had not been cleaned out first and one or two other kitchen items had not been checked and cleaned so we did leave a message for the cleaner/housekeeper. The pictures of the property and grounds online on the RR website are accurate apart from the views perhaps. From the patio these amazing views cannot be seen for the trees. One has to walk round a copse to get to a bench on a lawn beneath the patio and property itself. If you don't explore, you don't get the views except from the long drive. Finally, we are townies and countryside noises at night were noteable.
Overall the accommodation was very nice and comfortable. Very nice touch to have a welcome hamper and some milk after your journey(you don’t get this from the National Trust). Unfortunately, there was a nasty smell when we arrived - think it was from the fridge but this went after a while. also, despite reading the instructions several times, we could not get the TV to work. Would recommend Rural Retreats to friends.
Excellent country location quite near Broadway and easy walking distance. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings with outside dining/sitting area. Very well appointed. Excellent welcome hamper. Quality beds, bedding and towels. Also quality extras in the bathrooms for bathing/showering etc. Virtually everything guests would need for a very pleasant stay. Loved the barn!
