The Apartment
The Apartment is a dedicated area for your crew to use during the shoot. It’s within the main barn but has its own access, a fully equipped kitchen, lounge area, bathroom and two bedrooms. As it’s self contained it acts as a great place for kit drop, hair and make-up preparation, prop and wardrobe storage, model and crew waiting area, as well as a space for breakfast and lunch.
Accommodation
The Apartment can be hired for overnight stays by crew members during their shoot for a separate fee. Sleeping up to four people (or two non-sharing), bedroom one has a kingsize bed and bedroom two contains two singles which can be joined together if needed.
Away from Dutch Barn there are lots of good places to stay in the surrounding area. Hotels or Air Bnb’s can be found in Bury St Edmunds (18 mins drive), Lavenham (15 mins drive), Stowmarket (14 mins drive) or Bildeston (10 mins drive).
