Description

The Old Cow Shed is a beautifully converted barn nestled in the quiet Suffolk village of Thorndon, offering an intimate escape for couples seeking tranquillity.

This inviting retreat blends rustic charm with modern comforts, creating a space where slowing down comes naturally.

The farmhouse-style kitchen is well-equipped for easy self-catering, while the dining area sets the scene for relaxed breakfasts or lingering evening meals.

Patio doors flood the space with light and lead to a private outdoor seating area, perfect for morning coffee or alfresco suppers surrounded by birdsong.

The bedroom provides a generous, calming space to unwind, complemented by a sleek shower room for added convenience.

Underfloor heating ensures a welcoming feel throughout the seasons.

With village amenities just a short stroll away and Suffolk’s market towns within easy reach, The Old Cow Shed offers a memorable base for countryside walks, heritage discoveries, and cherished time together.

Both Louise and Geir were very welcoming and helpful when we arrived, and we have to say The Old Cow Barn was deceptively spacious inside.

Set back from the road, it was so quiet with great walks and The Black Horse pub and community shop only a short walk away. Everything we needed for our week in Thorndon while visiting family. We would certainly recommend a stay here.

We loved staying here, and hopefully will again in future.

Really comfortable and lovely place for the quiet restorative break we were after. Had everything we needed, and there are so many nice dog walks from the place too which was brilliant.

We loved the area.

walking was great with dogs and local pub only 5 minutes down the road. The cottage is large for two person accommodation but the wooden floor, although surface clean, was stained with mud and needed a deep clean as did the kitchen unit doors. We found the fridge too small for our needs and the available work surface made it difficult to prepare food . We also found the bed too firm for us and had to buy a topper but realise that is a personal choice although it is important that guest can sleep
