We enjoyed our stay at The Stores, Rede, a very quiet little hamlet in Suffolk. The holiday cottage had all we needed for a short break away. A visit to the local church nearby is a must.

Very pleasant cottage half way between the Suffolk wool towns and Bury St Edmunds, perfect for a nice country break off the beaten track. The space is very well distributed, the 2 bathrooms are very convenient and the floor heating is a treat. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at The Old Stores - it was so cosy and comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. The village of Rede is also perfectly positioned just a short drive from the main town of Bury St Edmunds, but nestled in amongst the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Stephen and Angela were the perfect hosts, so helpful and always on hand.
