Farm stay hostel in Lavenham in rural Suffolk

The Tudor Barn provides a very unusual Suffolk hostel farm stay location, off the beaten track, but accessible from London, the north and west by train.

The barn sleeps 25 in four private bedrooms plus the huge, open plan 16th century barn, where you can also feast together at long oak banquet tables, relax in the large sitting area and in the winter gather around the roaring wood burner. You can sleep in singles, doubles, Tudor four-posters and truckle beds. Huge, well-kitted out underfloor-heated kitchen. Two bathrooms, four showers and seven more WCs.

Friends, walkers, cyclists, can get together in spacious, beautiful, ancient and unspoiled surroundings, amidst the mixed farm landscape with hedges, old meadows, woodland and ponds. At Milden you can bring your own bikes, or borrow the 20+ adult road bikes, and explore the local Wool Town villages on the quiet country lanes of the South Suffolk Cycle Route and Constable Country or go kayaking down the River Stour. Alternatively explore historic houses or go further afield to the Suffolk coast. However, many that stay don’t go far - they walk the farm trails, run, hug trees, pond dip, read, play tennis, croquet or ping-pong, draw, paint, sing, play rounders, enjoy al fresco wine-tasting and picnic on the farm. Some guests borrow the barn's costumes and dress up for a Tudor evening, feasting and making merry Tudor style.

The barn is surrounded by more historic buildings including the Grade II* Milden Hall farmhouse with extra rooms, another large ancient barn and a modest museum. Bantams scratch about amongst the herbs, two farmyard pigs grunt contentedly, lambs skip in the spring, newts swim in the ponds, yellowhammers sing from the hedges.

Come and visit this enchanting and historic spot in rural Suffolk, you will be made very welcome. Larger parties can sometimes sleep 22 extra guests at the Old Brooder Bunkhouse 100m down the track (also in this guide).

Up to one well behaved adult dog welcome by arrangement.
The Tudor Barn offers atmospheric group accommodation on an environmentally friendly working farm in rural Suffolk.

Escape to The Tudor Barn – A Perfect Summer Farm-Staycation in Suffolk

March 11th 2025

June through to August are the perfect months to experience the beauty of the Suffolk countryside – and we have plenty of midweek and weekend availability at our quirky Tudor Barn, sleeping up to 25 guests.

Nestled in the heart of our environmentally-friendly farm in Milden, The Tudor Barn offers a peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of London (but only a two hour journey away). Walk along signposted farm trails through ancient meadows and woodland, enjoy peaceful picnics and BBQ with farmland views, get active with rounders, tennis and croquet or unwind with a yoga session in the garden.

We have lots of local activities too…. Cycle along quiet country lanes with our fleet of adult road bikes (or take on our fun Bike Challenge), eat out at charming local pubs, kayak along the River Stour, hunt for antiques in Lavenham, or explore Aldeburgh, Minsmere and the Suffolk coast. There are also several wonderful National Trust properties nearby.

With five bedrooms spread across the open-plan barn and cosy cartlodge, The Tudor Barn sleeps 25 guests and is ideal for family celebrations, hen parties, wellness retreats and more. We welcome large groups, but at short notice, we’re flexible in hosting smaller gatherings too. Get in touch today and we’ll send you a quote!
