Lying along a peaceful country lane, this sweet and welcoming stone-built cottage makes a tranquil holiday home for couples and solo travellers seeking an idyllic rural getaway. With picturesque country views, the stylishly updated property has been beautifully converted from a former stable to provide fresh, light-filled accommodation for up to two guests. Just a mile from the picturesque village of Friston, and within easy reach of Thorpeness and Aldeburgh, this delightful retreat is ideal for keen walkers and nature lovers exploring the gorgeous countryside and breathtaking coastline of a serene part of Suffolk.

The cosy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides a charming space to relax in at the end of a fabulous day. The lounge has comfortable seating so you can snuggle up and watch a movie or catch up with a good book. There’s a handy breakfast bar to the rear of the room, and the kitchen has plenty of equipment so you can rustle up your favourite meals. The cottage also features a bright and airy king-size bedroom as well as a stylish, invigorating shower room. From both the main living area and the bedroom, a step leads down from the French doors and into the garden. With a charming lawn and a patio with outdoor furniture, this is a lovely relaxing spot to sit outside and savour a glass of wine in the evening.

The area offers miles of peaceful country walks, with the friendly village of Friston making a cheerful pit-stop with its traditional pub and large village green. The bustling coastal town of Aldeburgh (3 miles) is the heart of the famous Aldeburgh Festival, with the concert hall at Snape Maltings also nearby (3.5 miles). The quirky seaside village of Thorpeness (4.5 miles) is known for its mock-Tudor buildings, shingle beach, golf course and boating lake.

We enjoy the stay in The Stables with our small dog. It is very secluded and tucked away inside the farmland yet can reach to nearby town and supermarket in 10-15 mins drive. We love the decor and style of the cottage which made our stay very pleasant. We will come back again.

Lovely cosy property. Caters for all your needs. Bed was extremely comfortable. We went in February 2024 and it rained most days but in the summer it would be lovely to be able to just sit on the patio and look at the view. Very tranquil and so quiet. Lovely!

Ideally located for the coastal villages of Aldeburgh, Thorpness and Sizewell. We found lots of places to visit within a 10-15 mile radius of this cottage. Which was great, we had a long journey to Suffolk so didn't want to spend the week driving long distances. We found some lovely places to eat our favourite The Ship at Dunwich. The cottage is Read morevery comfortable but it is small e.g bedroom size and bed, fine for us we are both small. We have an elderly spaniel that doesn't wander off, the gate to the drive did close, but the other gates didn't into the fields, so not really suitable dogs with a tendancy to run off. Hide
