60th Birthday Family Gathering
We travelled over from France and wanted to return to the UK to celebrate my 60th birthday with the whole of my family. This accommodation was ideal as it slept the number of people required. It met my expectations and more. A high quality facility with everything you need and more. It catered for young children as there were games for them, and set in very large grounds for them to run around in, this included adults too ! The hot tub was a bonus too. Lots of seating areas outside the property. Inside decor was of a high quality. Plenty of outside space for parking. Would highly recommend this property for a large gathering. A lovely weekend with all my family under the same roof, its not often we can get everyone together so this will be a most memorable weekend for me. The owners very friendly and informative. Highly recommend.

Golf tour 2019
Our group have been going on a golf tour for the past 22 years and have stayed in types of accommodation.
Doves Barn certainly did not disappoint when it came to our 2019 trip to Suffolk. The accommodation was an excellent base from which we could access the golf courses that we were playing in and around Ipswich.
The accommodation is listed as able to sleep, 22. We were a party of 14 chaps and each had a separate bed, but some guys were not as fortunate as others, as they had to share rooms of different configurations.
The property provided all that we required in terms of space and amenities from the hot tub, bbq, pool table and Sky Tv.
All my communications with the owners, prior to arrival and during our stay were always promptly dealt with. On this point I must say that on the day of our arrival, as we were all arriving at different times, the group were especially grateful to be able to arrive early and drop off belongings before we went off to play golf.
In summary the property was perfect for our requirements, the hosts were very friendly and helpful when required and I would happily recommend Doves Barn to anybody looking for a large property in the Ipswich area.

Well maintained, well equipped, clean barn conversion
Celebrated our Golden Wedding here with all our family and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We arrived on the Friday afternoon to be greeted by the owner who showed us around and made us feel very welcome. Plenty of logs provided for the wood burner and a lovely hamper waiting for us. Although the weather was bitterly cold the barn was very warm and inviting.

Such a beautiful and spacious location for any special occasion.
I had the most memorable experience at Doves Barn for my 30th birthday. I really could not of asked for anything more for such a special weekend with friends and family. The property and all its amenities were just perfect. The house itself is well set up with plenty of space, rooms and bathrooms to really make you feel at home. There is something for everyone here, from relaxing in the jacuzzi to playing rounders on the large grounds surrounding the barn. All of my guests had such a fun time. We have all said how we would most certainly like to return.

Absolutely fantastic property, loved it.
I have just returned from my hen weekend at Doves Barn with 21 friends and I cannot recommend this property highly enough. The house is absolutely stunning and so much space. The owners are lovely and Neville even got us drinks for the hot tub. The hot tub is clean and nice that it’s inside so you don’t get cold. The bedrooms are beautiful and the pictures don’t do them justice. Especially enjoyed the log burner too and wood supplied. I would definitely like to come back again. Thank you Eleanor, Neville and Lydia.

We came here for a 25th birthday/ 10 year reunion and couldn't have asked for more! The accommodation was perfect down to the finest details! The grounds are amazing too and the hot tub, ping pong table and outside seating are the icing on top!

Brilliant barn for large group
We stayed here for a special birthday weekend, we had 19 adults so also used the adjacent property, Doves barn cottage. The barn is fantastic for large groups and we had loads of room to be together and also have our own space. Facilities include hot tub, karoke, pool table and giant connect 4 - all of which were used:) We used a local caterer for a served dinner on Saturday and that was just lovely. This is the place to stay if you want a special location for a large group. The owners were so helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble. Christmas decorations were up so all made the weekend magical
