Escape to this delightful holiday retreat set in beautifully landscaped grounds in the village of Holbrook. An ideal retreat for four people sleeping across two bedrooms, this spacious cottage is the perfect accommodation option for small families or groups of friends. Spend a day strolling Alton Water Reservoir, which has a peaceful 8-mile path for walkers and cyclists, and in the evening, come home to dine alfresco on the cottage’s lovely patio area.

From the private parking area (there’s room for two cars), make your way to this rural hideaway and step inside. Kick off your walking shoes in the boot room and head to the stylish open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which is bathed in natural light. Take a moment to appreciate the calming decor and mid-century styling before heading to the sleek kitchen area to rustle up some dinner. Share meals with loved ones at the elegant dining table while you enjoy the country views through the garden’s French doors. Alternatively, head out into the garden and enjoy an al fresco dinner on the pretty patio. With uninterrupted, far-reaching views, this is a beautiful spot to enjoy an evening tipple. Head back to the lounge area to warm your toes by the wood burner, and at the end of the day, climb the stairs to choose from two restful bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – which are served by the family bathroom and separate shower room. Completing the interior is handy snug/office.

Spend a few happy hours discovering Christchurch Mansion and Park (7.5 miles), a stunning Tudor mansion with a fine collection of art and historical artifacts surrounded by a park. Alternatively, experience the thrill of go-kart racing at Anglia Indoor Kart Racing (10 miles).

We had a wonderfully peaceful week in Oak View Cottage, the space was well thought through, clean and extremely well equipped.

Loved our stay at the cottage. Very clean, comfortable and everything you could need. Wood burning fire was great as it was unseasonable cold when we stayed. But the modern heating system kept us warm. Top class shower upstairs and gorgeous bath downstairs. Traditional and modern in the best way. Very quiet and relaxing, beautiful views.

The cottage is in a peaceful location with easy access to many great walks. The view from the south facing livingroom and upstairs bedroom window is lovely.

A beautifully appointed cottage where everything has been thought about in an ideal location for exploring the Suffolk coast and constable country. Well be back again definitely. Perfect place for cyclists as its on the south Suffolk bike route and lovely meandering lanes to ride.

Really beautiful stay, the house has everything you need and is so comfortable! Very close to Ipswich and flatford (around 15/20 minutes drive for each). The garden could be made more secure for dogs, but otherwise perfect!

This is a fab cottage in one of my favourite areas. It is well appointed and has comfy furniture and beds. It was hot weather when we stayed and liked the patio was wrapped around the back of the house so could find a cool spot in the mornings. As so close to the coast the breeze was good and lots of options to open doors and windows . I felt veryRead more at home here and hope we can return soon. Hide

The views from the cottage were super. We had a deer in the back garden, woodpeckers and other birds. Cant say enough about how much as a party of four adults we enjoyed our time here. The shower was good and the kitchen very well equipped. Easy parking for two cars.

This cottage is in a great location. The garden was huge and Dylan, our dog, loved chasing the squirrels and, apologies, next door neighbours cats. Inside, the cottage was comfortable with everything we needed for our week's stay. The small welcome pack was very much appreciated and John, the owner, came round to make we had settled in OK.
