THE BARNS
Eight Dog Friendly Holiday Cottages - Six Luxury Barns and two Cottages; all sleeping two. Seven of them have Private Hot Tubs. The Barns nestle amongst the mature trees around the fishpond and waterfall to create a peaceful little environment to relax in. The two Cottages are adjacent. Each property has its own private enclosed garden area with a patio and seating for eating outside; th

ere is also a shaded decking area overlooking the pond for when you want to watch the fish or enjoy the sunset. All set down a country lane, just outside the little Suffolk village of Stonham Aspal. The beautiful Suffolk Coast is just 30 minutes away. THE BARGES
Two Dog-friendly, historic Dutch sailing Barges, lovingly converted into moored holiday homes. Think of them as floating holiday cottages. Onderneming at Snape Maltings is enormous, and sleeps eight guests, so offers a quirky getaway for your family or friends. Twee Gebroeders on the quay at Woodbridge overlooks the iconic Tidemill, and is the perfect place for a romantic break, though she will sleep two kids too. Both of our Barges present you with the ideal location to explore the stunning Suffolk Coast, combined with a truly unique place to stay. DOGS & BIKES
There are great walks and cycling routes straight from the Barns and the Barges and we provide bikes free of charge. We welcome up to three dogs in each Barn, Barge and Cottage.

We've only gone and divsersified again! This time it's 'Woodfarm Breads'!

My mate Mark gifted me a sourdough starter, and I've been busy baking. Here's my first loaf...

When I say we've diversified, I've now made two loaves, so I'm not entirely convinced as to the commercial viability of this new extension of the Woofarm brand, but it's good fun. And it tastes flippin' delicious!

Much better than all that processed rubbish, you should try it. If you have tried it, then why not share your stories, photos, triumphs, or epic fails... 👇👇👇

I'm telling you now, the correct answer is Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl.

Feel free to make your own suggestion, but the above is correct and everything else, no matter how good it is, is wrong. This is just a fact, and we can't argue with the facts!

🎅 It’s Christmas Eve—Time for Some Festive Fun! 🎄

Well, here we are... the stockings are hung, the mince pies are out, and somewhere Santa is double-checking his GPS (let’s hope the reindeer know Suffolk!). 🎁

While we’re all waiting for the big day tomorrow, let’s have a larf shall we? Here’s our question for you:

🎄 If your dog (or cat, or mouse, or gerbil, or anything else) were to ask Santa for ONE thing this Christmas, what would it be? 🎁

🐾 A year’s supply of sausages?
🐾 Endless belly rubs?
🐾 Roll around in mud?

Drop your answers below 👇 and let’s see who has the most creative pooch! Bonus points if your dog’s actually sitting there looking at you while you answer. 😂

Wishing all our amazing followers a magical Christmas Eve! From everyone at Woodfarm Barns & Barges. Hope you have a pawsome holiday filled with love, laughter, and maybe even a treat or two. 🐾❤️

Remember my birthday present 'Mini Me', that freaked everyone one out?

Well, I have a feeling he'll be hanging out with me quite a bit from now on.

We had a good session at the gym this morning, including a strenuous workout with Personal Trainer Lee @ Jetts Colchester

Having an amazing extended birthday weekend up at The Orange Tree, Thornham with my oldest and dearest friends, and being spoilt rotten!

Superb meal Saturday night with great company, stunning afternoon yesterday on Holkham beach, just perfect for blowing away the cobwebs.

Friendships spanning 30, 40 and 50 years respectively is what life is all about. Being 60 isn't so bad.

Picture this:

You’re curled up on a comfy sofa, your coffee and cookies on the table in easy reach. It's nice and warm, and your dog is stretched out nearby, looking completely content with a toasty tummy, thanks to underfloor heating.

You’re in one of our lovely barns, with exposed beams and views of the peaceful Suffolk countryside through the window. It’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and simply enjoy the moment. 🐾☕

In November 2024, The Times spotlighted a fascinating trend: inland surfing in the UK. And here at Woodfarm, we’ve decided to ride the wave too. Well, we do like to jump on a bandwagon if there’s one passing by!

With limited facilities up in Scotland and near Birmingham, surfing is no longer just for coastal adventurers, and we have well and truly sewn up the south!

We’ve transformed our Koi pond into a surfer’s paradise. It’s the ultimate quirky addition to your Woodfarm experience.

But that’s not all. Our two Dutch Barges, Onderneming and Twee Gebroeders, are already on the water, and therefore surf-ready! Just pop on yer wetsuit, channel your inner surf dude, and jump overboard. Check out the pic of me with a surfer buddy at Onderneming, moored at Snape Maltings.

And because no Woodfarm experience is complete without thinking of your furry family, we’ve even catered for surfer pups at Woodfarm HQ. Our bespoke “surfing waterfall” is perfect for canine shredders to practice their moves.

Whether you’re into proper waves or just having a bit of fun, Woodfarm combines relaxation and unexpected adventure. So, who’s ready to surf Suffolk style?

💬 Tell us your Dog's funniest holiday habit!

Do they "help" unwrap the presents? Steal the turkey? Or maybe it's their annual nap under the tree? Or just tell us why they're cute this time of year.

We wanna know! 🐶👇

I love my old mates dearly. But when you spend a weekend away with them, and one of them gets you a strange cuddly toy with your own face on it, it's worrying.

Far be it from me to wish to freak you all out, but this is a little bit creepy right? 😳🤯

60?!??!?!?!

I genuinely have no idea how this happened, but apparently today I have become 60 years old, and I'm eligible for a bus pass (in London and Wales. My daughter lives in London and my left foot is Welsh)

I. Am. Not. Getting. One.

Here's a list of other things I am not going to do:

Take up bingo
Start watching daytime telly
Wear my reading glasses around my neck
Start saying "back in my day"
Listen to Radio 2
Or The Archers
Take a flask of coffee on a day out
Take a keen interest in the garden
Dress sensibly for the weather
Obsess about bird feeding
Drive in the slow lane
Or below 70 in the middle lane
Drink sherry (that's for you Sarah)

This is NOT funny. I genuinely have no idea how or why this happened.

(PS, I have ordered a Volvo though, so I could be slowly maturing!)

(PPS, the bus pass only applies in London & Wales, but I wanted to use it for the joke)

FESTIVE FRIDGE CHALLENGE WINNER!!!

We had a lots of funny clips sent in to make our 'Sequel' to my advent calendar in the fridge video, and here's the final cut, on our YouTube Channel!

We assigned a number to each clip as it was sent in, and then put them into the Google random number generator to pick a winner. There are 39 videos in all, which is awesome! Thank you everybody who took the time and effort to join in, I was worried people wouldn't bother with the faff!

Number 27 was picked by Google, which was the cute little dog in the elf hat, being held by owner Chris. I suspect it was Chris who sent the video in though!

Our Suffolk hamper of (mostly booze) will be heading to him in time for Christmas!

Thank you once again to everybody for joining in the fun!

This video is the sequel to our Festive Fridge Challenge video, and we have a ton of amazing people rising to that challenge as you will see. Watch it! It's ...

It’s interesting how the silly side of my brain is more popular than the less so, but I like to mix things up…

Here’s a short insight into the less silly side of my brain...

It's very rewarding owning a holiday business in a county that regularly features in the national press, when they talk about "The Best" things to do in the UK.

Suffolk is pretty much in one of The Times' lists every month, and of course I'm delighted that Woodfarm itself has featured a number of times too! 🤯😳🥰

This all means that guests coming here have the peace of mind that we're onto something that'll give them an experience to cherish.

And today their feature on 'Seven of the UK's loveliest winter beach walks', introduces a wider audience to the wonderful little village of Dunwich.

It's long been a popular day out with our guests: Just 12 miles from Onderneming at Snape Maltings, and 25 miles from Woodfarm HQ, it's an easy (and scenic) drive.

Happy Tuesday.
