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.

Who gives you extra? Who? Who? Yup, Us.

We want to get Woodfarm word out to the world, and we know the best way to spread that word is by recommendations from people we know and trust.

We are so blessed with over a third of our guests returning every year for another Woodfarm break. That's why we started our Loyalty Reward Points programme TOGS in 2024 as a 'Thank you'.

Our mantra has always been "Add value", which is why we offer 10% of your last stay as a credit towards your next one. Simples!

And for a limited period, if you want to share the love, we are offering our guests the opportunity to share that same deal with family members and friends too!

It's all in our latest blog post, or just get in touch if you can't be bothered to look for it but wanna give your friends a gift 🤣

Giving you extra since 2009!

March 23rd. Who remembers what day this is? I remember it vividly.

March 23rd, 2020 is the day my business closed five years ago. It was a national event called Lockdown. A word we'd never really come across before, and now we know exactly what it means every time we hear it.

227 days, and 227,000 deaths.

I'm not going to rake up the whole story in this post and the effect that it had on me and my business, because today I want to remember those that suffered way more. The millions that died across the world. And the millions more that were affected by the deaths of, the loss of, family and friends.

Just under 227,000 people died in the UK with Covid-19 listed as one of the causes on their death certificate. Ironically my business was closed for 227 days over the three lockdowns, but I consider myself one of the lucky ones. Because I didn't know anybody who actually died personally.

Whilst the Coronavirus pandemic, or COVID-19, had a profound effect on me, I'm still here, and so is my business.

March the 23rd will always be a day of reflection for me. For the 227,000. 🙏

I woke up this morning wondering what Darwin would be thinking right now of how his theory is working out, so I took to my photo editing software to ponder some more.

Just thought I'd share my workings with you...

I'd like to publicly thank Jeff Bozo for his sterling work in delivering 6 bottles of olive oil to Woodfarm HQ for our guests.

Only two of them were smashed, but the whole lot was wrapped up in plastic so we didn't waste any. Here they are in our delivery box, which now has more olive oil than we usually keep on the bottom of it. 🤦

Pop onto my Amazon account to find that these were "Not eligible for a refund". Ten minutes on the phone with one of Bozo's bozos, who couldn't refund but liaised for me with their "Specialist team" 🤦🧐🥸 and finally granted me the refund of two bottles.

I had previously advised that I would not be returning a big bag of oily smashed glass, and she ended the call by saying that we could keep them and didn't need to return them. Of course I strapped on my sarcasm helmet and replied with "Yes, that would be great, because my guests do like their olive oil with lots of broken glass in it".

For the avoidance of doubt, these two bottles will not be found in the kitchens at Woodfarm.

I'd better not measure my blood pressure right now. 😡

Fab night out with my quiz team gang at a fundraiser for a kids cheerleading group. No, I did not dress up!

We didn't win this one, but we had such fun and that's all that matters.

I think it's about time we got Bizzy with the Quizzy and had another Woodfarm Quiz don't you?

#TheWellerman - The Woodfarm version by Elephant in the Room
#TheWellerman - The Woodfarm version by Elephant in the Room

Feel free to like and share your opinion… Facebook threw this at me as a memory the other day so I thought I'd share it with you. #throwbackthursday to almost three years ago when we emerged from Lockdown. Remember that? Here's me and my band 'Elephant in the Room' doing our take on the viral 'Wellerman' sea shanty, via the wonders of technology. I wrote it as a blatant Woodfarm plug ahead of coming out of what we hoped was the final lockdown in April 2021, and they very kindly joined in. I don't think we'd ever done an a capella song before, we usually have stringy and hitty things to make noises with. That's my dear friends Fern & Sam with me. They're not loads smaller than me, they just look it as I was nearer my phone in my house! And they got married since then (spoiler alert, I married them!) Anyway, I hope you know the original, if not go and check it out as it's pretty cool. There are lots of versions going around and this is just our take. Hope you enjoy it and feel free to share it with your friends x #covid #lockdown #neveragainplease
