The property: Set amongst nearly 200 acres of conservation farmland, The Granary at Croft Farm has been converted to create a spacious 3-bedroom holiday property which will be enjoyed by all generations. All doors open onto the sunny south facing garden which is fenced, making it toddler friendly. Upstairs rooms have views over the garden and meadows or the stables (no horses unfortunately).

The Grounds: There is a small south facing fenced garden with grassed area and sun deck terrace with table and chairs and parasol. To the side of the cottage is a parking area for several cars.

Croft Farm is a mixture of sheep grazing meadows and arable crops with some delightful circular walks which eventually join the Suffolk Coastal Path at Snape - a 40 mile path running from Felixstowe in the south to Lowestoft in the north.

Minimum Hire Three nights; except in high season when it is a week. Changeover is on a Saturday for weekly lets in high season.

The Snape village shop includes a small off-license and sells daily papers. Further down the road at Snape Maltings look out for the Food Hall - great deli and fudge and a monthly farmers market. If cooking is not your thing worry not - there are three pubs in the village, all of which use local produce on their menus. A top quality menu with dishes from all over the world at The Plough and Sail, amazing pizza and Italian style food at The Golden Key and lovely Sunday lunch at The Crown.
