What began as a vision for two beautiful countryside barns has grown into something very special to us.

Seeing the restoration of our Suffolk barns recognised on a national stage - shortlisted as finalists in the National LABC Awards following our regional win - was a real honour and a meaningful milestone in their journey. While we didn’t take home the national title, being acknowledged alongside so many exceptional projects across the country was a real honour - and a moment we’re very grateful for.

These barns weren’t just renovated - they were carefully reimagined. Every beam, every material choice, every layout decision was made with intention. We wanted to honour the character of the original buildings while creating warm, welcoming spaces designed for modern stays - somewhere you can gather, unwind and feel completely at ease.

From concept through to completion, it’s been a story of craftsmanship, collaboration and a deep respect for the buildings themselves. Working with talented local trades and suppliers, we’ve poured care into every detail - from structural restoration right down to the finishing touches you experience when you walk through the door.

To see that work recognised nationally is incredibly special.

More than anything, it gives us confidence as we look ahead - continuing to restore and create spaces that feel thoughtful, characterful and genuinely memorable.

They’re not just pets… they’re part of the family.

And when you head off on holiday, of course they’re coming too.At Poacher & Peacock, all of our properties are dog friendly, because we know it wouldn’t feel the same without them. Each of our stays offers an enclosed garden, giving you peace of mind while they roam.And when it’s time to explore? You’ll find wonderful dog walks close by - from quiet countryside footpaths to wide open spaces where they can really blow off some steam. Expect muddy paws, happy hearts and that contented snooze afterwards.Family time means everyone. Four legs included.
