This couple-friendly cottage is an idyllic destination for a romantic break in the Suffolk countryside close to The Broads National Park. The couple-friendly cottage stands in the Waveney Valley, is 1 mile from Diss and features an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, en-suite facilities and access to an array of shared facilities including a BBQ, hammocks and an outdoor pool.

Finished to an incredible standard, the two-storey cottage stands within a working farm home to a bounty of wildlife. Its bright and welcoming rooms feature comfortable and contemporary soft furnishings, with natural light pouring in through a viewing window boasting wonderful scenery. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the perfect setting for planning the day over a morning coffee, as well as enjoying candlelit dinners or evening films while snuggling on the sofa. The nearby shower room is on hand to help guests freshen up before the off or wind down before a restful night’s sleep in the en-suite king-size bedroom upstairs, complete with an opulent roll-top bath and skylights. Guests have enviable access to paddocks and woodlands, along with shared facilities including an outdoor pool.

Guests who can tear themselves away from the comfort of the cottage or the splendour of the surrounding area will be rewarded. The quaint market town of Diss (1 mile) offers an authentic flavour of Suffolk, and there are many scenic towns and villages on the way to The Broads National Park (19 miles) or Thetford Forest (17 miles).
