1 / 16Rose Farm Barn
Cratfield, Suffolk
A Grade II listed barn for twelve at Cratfield in Suffolk, with an enclosed lawned garden, a games room, four acres of grounds and two dogs welcome.
Rose Farm Barn is a Grade II listed barn conversion for twelve, detached, on a quiet lane at Cratfield in the Suffolk countryside, and it is a dog friendly place to bring a large party together. Two dogs are welcome, with a doggy welcome pack, and the enclosed garden looks out over open fields.
The dining room is the showpiece: a vaulted ceiling crossed with beams, and bi-fold doors opening onto decking and the lawned garden, which is enclosed and has seating of its own. The barn stands in four acres of natural grounds with a small orchard, and those are not described as enclosed. There is a pond in the grounds, about 20 yards from the house, so the dogs stay in the garden unless someone is with them.
Twelve people spread out well. There is a big kitchen with a range, a TV snug, a second sitting room with no screen in it at all, and a games room with a pool table, three steps down. Bedrooms are split over two floors, the ground floor warmed from underneath, and one upstairs is a galleried room with a super king bed. It is a house built for a celebration, with the dogs asleep under the long table once the speeches start.
Framlingham is within easy reach, its castle walls standing over the mere, and Halesworth is the nearer market town. The coast is a short drive east, to Southwold's pier and beach huts, Aldeburgh, and the heath and reedbeds at Dunwich and Minsmere. Inland, Sutton Hoo and Woodbridge make a good day out with a dog in the back.

Book with cottages.comFrequently Asked Questions
Is Rose Farm Barn dog friendly?
Yes, Rose Farm Barn welcomes up to two dogs, and there is a doggy welcome pack waiting for them on arrival. The enclosed lawned garden looks out over open fields, making it a lovely spot for dogs to settle in while the group gets comfortable.
Are dogs allowed at Rose Farm Barn year round?
The listing does not specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it is worth contacting the property directly to confirm availability for your dates. As a large group holiday let, it is designed to be enjoyed whenever you book.
What should I know before visiting Rose Farm Barn with my dog?
The enclosed garden is the safe space for dogs to roam freely, but the wider four acres of natural grounds — including a small orchard — are not described as enclosed, so they will need supervision out there. There is also a pond in the grounds, around 20 yards from the house, so the owners ask that dogs stay within the garden unless accompanied. It is a relaxed, rural setting, and with Southwold, Aldeburgh, Dunwich and Minsmere all a short drive east, there is plenty of good walking country nearby to explore together.
