Property code: OC-FAIRS

Escape with your loved ones to this impressive cottage set in a small hamlet on the outskirts of Halesworth. Encircled by pretty rolling fields as far as the eye can see, it sleeps eight people across four stylish bedrooms – making it an excellent accommodation choice for large families or groups of friends seeking a relaxing place to call home while they’re exploring the stunning Suffolk countryside. Spend happy days discovering the quaint lanes of Spexhall Village and pleasant afternoons relaxing in the cottage’s marvellous glass orangery. In the evening, get your loved ones together in the pretty garden and fire-up the BBQ to cook an al fresco dinner.

Step inside and you’ll be welcomed by a bright and airy living space bathed in natural light. Make yourself at home in this contemporary space before heading to the delightful farmhouse-style kitchen to whip up some dinner. Host a sociable meal in the spectacular orangery, or light up the pizza oven on the terrace and dine alfresco. After dinner, enjoy the sunset from the orangery, gather around the fire pit in the garden, catch up on emails in the office, watch a movie in the living room, or enjoy a little me-time in the snug. When it’s time for bed, head upstairs and retire to one of the four gorgeous bedrooms.

Pack a picnic and head to the Henham Park (7 miles) - one of the largest listed parklands in the UK. Alternatively, make your way to Dunwich (10 miles) to stroll along the beach or hike through the heath. Keep your eyes peeled for the Dartford Warbler and woodlark.

Wonderful house and garden. Both dogs and owners had a wonderful time and we were blessed with fantastic weather. Worked well with a multi generational group.

Three generations of our family stayed at Fairstead. It provided us with everything we wanted from the holiday. Space for the grandchildren to play, enough room for us all to be together, or, separate. A beautiful house in a beautiful location, equipped with everything you could need. Any queries were quickly sorted by the lovely housekeeper.

This house is stunning and better in real life than the pictures. Ideal for a group of 8. Very clean and well equipped with a lovely woodburner.

Everything was lovely, The only drawback was the condition of the lane to reach the property, massive water filled pot holes , not very good for the cars suspension . And the lack of a carving fork , knife and dish , no placemats . And only 2 saucepans and a milk pan . Not really enough to cook for 8 , perhaps a steamer It might also help if on theRead more website there was a list of things that were in the kitchen , all condiments , spices , oil , washing up liquid . Some properties dont supply anything , so we always take everything , which in this case wasnt necessary . And a big bonus to find things in the fridge . Hide
