Situated up on the cliff looking down over the River Alde and across to the famous St Botolphs Church, it creates the perfect setting for intimate wedding celebrations, small gatherings and corporate meetings. We have a number of functions and events on throughout the year, keep an eye on our 'what's on' pages and click here to view our quarterly newsletter for regular updates.

The Suffolk Heritage coastline offers many places of historical interest. For bird watchers avocets, curlews and marsh harriers to name a few can be spotted locally. Alternatively you may just want to stay on site and relax with a book. Whatever you choose we are confident you will return home fully recharged.

If you have a well behaved dog we are happy for you to bring them along too. With endless walking locally you will both be disappointed if your four legged friend is left at home!

We are surrounded by fantastic restaurants, pubs and gastro pubs so you will never go hungry, most eateries offer locally sourced food but if you would rather have a chef come and cook for you in your barn let us know and we will put you in touch with the right people for what you require.

Although Iken is only a few minutes from good road networks (The A12) you will forget about the fast pace of everyday life and soon feel completely relaxed here.
