The Corn Silo Reviews

We love this place! It was quirky in style on the outside and inside! Comfortable, clean, modern and had everything you need including a washing machine and tumble dryer. We especially loved sitting in the hot tub in the evening listening to the birds sing it was so peaceful. Within walking distance of Jimmy's farm and local pubs too. It was a great way to celebrate my hubby's birthday. Highly recommend xx
Wow!! What a stunning place to spend a few days relaxing !! Beautifully decorated with lots of quirky touches and everything you need,a real credit to the owners. Stunning views over farmland too,and some lovely walks.We stayed as a group of two couples and we would most certainly return again and would recommend to friends and family. A real gem of a property!
A unique corn silo conversion superbly executed creating a wonderful holiday retreat. Situated in an outstanding position where from the doorstep you have access to walking and cycle paths through woodland and countryside. Situated close to many attractions including Jimmys Farm, Lavenham,Colchester and Walberswick etc. would definitely recommend and will look to book again in the future.
Quirky and beautiful never ever thought Id stay in the silo but well worth it immaculately cleaned and well presented. Youll probably get a visit by the local friendly dog called chewy. His owners know he visits so dont call them, apparently he was there visiting throughout the build. The only change, I would make is having a lamp in the living area. Spotlights are very bright even though they are dimmable. And best of all we are able to take our small dogs. Great walks in this area and I would also say Jimmys farm is a place to go. Many thanks Andy and family.
An amazing place to stay! Everything you need and more! Lovely location and would recommend Jimmy's Farm for a day out with the family. Food is very good and a reasonable price. Was great to wake with brilliant views in comfy beds!
