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.

"Your video made me cry" is one of the nicest compliments I've had in a long while. I think!

Chatting with some guests the other day who are the owners of a reactive dog, and they were really struggling to find somewhere suitable. They've been here all week and have absolutely loved it, with a key point being that their reactive dog felt safe and secure and settled very easily.

I was so touched when the guest told me that finding us online and seeing my video about how we cater for the reactive dog market, actually made her cry.

I loved hearing how pleased they were at a) finding us, and b) we solved their holiday challenge.

The photo is a still from that video, not me doing a Tommy Cooper impression!

The 1851 Barham Workhouse Riot: The Forgotten Revolt of Starving Suffolk Labourers

In 1851, the Barham workhouse became the flashpoint for a violent, desperate rebellion. As the local agricultural economy collapsed, proud Suffolk labourers were laid off in droves, leaving them with no choice but to enter the dreaded union workhouse.

I shoot these videos for you to help me spread the awareness of my Holiday business Woodfarm Barns in Suffolk. It’s my private collection of romantic, self-catering, dog friendly Barns, Cottages and moored Dutch Barges in Suffolk, plus a hillside retreat in Tuscany.

Trailer: The Tithe and the Tye: Barking’s Sacred Debt

Barking Tye was more than just a communal space; it was a central hub for the medieval tithe system under the powerful Bishops of Ely. This video explores the green as a landscape defined by economic and spiritual obligation, where the village's hard-earned harvest was measured, weighed, and collected for the church.

These videos help me spread the awareness of my holiday business Woodfarm Barns in Suffolk. It’s my private collection of romantic, self-catering, dog friendly Barns, Cottages and moored Dutch Barges in Suffolk, plus a hillside retreat in Tuscany.

For nearly two decades, my life has been about this landscape. What started as a way to build trust and engagement with my guests, has turned into a mission to share the soul of the region. By bringing these legends to the screen, I’m giving people a real connection to the land before they even arrive. It’s about more than business; it’s about making sure these stories aren't forgotten.

I shared the sad news with you last week about Macey, the Queen of Woodfarm passing away. The Granary Barn was her happy place, so I had a blue plaque made in her honour.

It seemed like the right thing to do to honour her. Although I made her humans cry, they loved it.

Ebb & Flow. Best ocean action movie in the world ever!

Epic film of the tide, not only coming in, but also going back out. On repeat! Watch to the end as it'll blow your mind.

Filmed on location in Viareggio, Tuscany. I performed all my own stunts and did this without the aid of a safety net!

Music by me and my band Elephant in the Room

FREE GIFT!!! Out of the goodness of my heart, I have created a free seven-page flip book for you.

It features not one, but both of my feet as I took a quick trip to the beach in Viareggio yesterday on my way back to Pisa.

The title of this FREE book is Flow and Ebb.

Simply print out the seven images and glue them together for hours of happy action movie time. If you would prefer to call your book Ebb and Flow, stick them in reverse order, or flip backwards. As an extra bonus you can repeat it backwards and forwards to see the tide coming in AND out.

The movie is launching at 6pm tonight! It even features my band singing our song 'Ebb & Flow'!

I think you'll agree this is cutting edge stuff! You're welcome!
