Host a truly special getaway for a group of friends or family at this four-bedroom countryside cottage with an outdoor heated swimming pool, characterful original interior features like wooden beamed ceilings and inglenook fireplaces, plus traditional country-style decor. Surround yourself with nature and stay just a short drive away from the Suffolk Coast and quaint seaside towns.

Step inside the spacious and homely open-plan kitchen/diner to discover a wooden-beamed vaulted ceiling, farmhouse-style fitted units and a dining table which sits next to a wall of glass where patio doors slide open onto the garden.

Additional seating and another wood burner can be found in the snug which is decorated with calming greens and reds.

The house is lovely, and in a quiet, rural location. It has a very well equipped kitchen. The gardens and pool are fabulous, a real bonus in good weather.

Beautiful home from home, perfect for family gatherings. We loved the big kitchen table and the best equipped kitchen weve ever cooked in; warm and easy to use swimming pool; fire pit made for stargazing and the room to accommodate our crazy family with space to retreat when we were done being sociable.

Brook Farm is a lovely period Suffolk farm house which has been very sensitively decorated and extended to give a modern kitchen, dining area and utility room which can be opened out onto a terrace and beautiful kitchen garden. The gardens are extensive and quite lovely which the local birdlife agree with ! This is a home which you rent rather tRead morehan a rental property which makes all the difference. Everything is very well appointed. The owner is very friendly and responsive to helping with any questions.

A beautiful period cottage in splendidly tended garden, a real treat to stay in. The pool was just great and at a very comfortable temperature. The kitchen/diner is very well equipped and is just a joy when the folding doors are open. However, we did think the rather rustic stairs to the first floor were a bit challenging for the elderly.

Your farm house was delightful, comfortable and well equipped.

Brook Farm is the most wonderful and relaxing place to spend time. The house is so thoughtfully decorated, and equipped, with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, being a real home away from home. The lovely pool is set in stunning gardens, in a tranquil and remote setting. However, the house Read moreis close enough to Halesworth for easy access to the shops, and the coast isnt much further. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend this beautiful property. Hide

We had a lovely week in this beautiful house. The house and gardens are well equipped and very well maintained, the pool is lovey (we were really lucky with the weather!) We really could not have asked for more.

Property and gardens immaculate, swimming pool temperature and water was great, also with an electric operated pool cover so easy to use. With table tennis, darts, boules, swing ball and many indoor Games plenty to do. Good wi fi reception so easy to book evening meals at local pubs.
