Property code: OC-THSTU

"Lovely peaceful location, perfect for "rest and recuperation" and watching the swifts enjoying their evening acrobatics - but within easy reach of the river for clean swimming and footpaths for exploring the salt marshes with their wonderful birdlife. Comfortable accommodation, plus terrace for breakfast and supper in the open air, and thoughtfully equipped for home cooking. There is nothing about the Studio we would change. We had the most marvellous few days holiday and it will certainly be our number one choice for a future return to Suffolk". - Jeremy Speller

Dappled with natural light, this studio accommodation presents a delightful and comfortable place to stay on the brink of the Suffolk Coast AONB. Located just off the unique River Deben, you can lace up your walking boots to enjoy long walks along the picturesque waters, enjoying excellent riverside pubs and taking in the wide variety of wildlife and bird song, before heading home to relax either indoors or out. The area is renowned for its tranquillity and Dark Skies  The accommodation is laid out with two guests in mind, a romantic little bolthole with comfort assured. Spend time on your private veranda with a morning coffee or evening sundowner, before heading inside to cook up something delicious using fresh herbs from the garden.

From the River Deben with its boat trips, you can embark on a paddle boarding or canoeing adventure, or simply spend time wandering along the pretty riverbank.

Pleasantly surprised by the high standard of property and amenities. Well thought out layout and perfect for 1 or 2 people and so peaceful yet convenient for visiting local places. Having the Maybush very conveniently close by with great food and views over the Deben is a bonus.

Loved staying at the Studio, cozy, warm, comfortable and well laid out. Spotlessly clean. The garden surrounding it was full of flowers and shrubs, with a myriad of birds darting around. Great location, close to the river and 2 minutes walk to the Maybush pub. Highly recommended.
