Book a big group stay at this Suffolk cottage and enjoy all the space it offers both inside and out. Sleeping nine guests, the five-bedroom, pet-friendly sanctuary sits comfortably in generous, wrap-around lawned gardens between Chattisham and Copdock. Ideal for exploring picturesque Constable Country, which begins 4.5 miles away, it also makes a great base for discovering vibrant Ipswich, 5 miles from the cottage.
Let yourselves in via the utility room at the back, where you can leave muddy wellies and dry damp paws. Head on inside to put your groceries down in either of the two kitchens and to start rustling up the next delicious meal for your party. Call everyone through to help you carry the steaming dishes through to the dining room, then sit down to your feast. Make fresh coffee in the machine to enjoy in the lounge. Set out some snacks too and congregate to play a lively game or watch a film on the Smart TV. Four of your bedrooms, three king-sizes and a single, are also downstairs. One of the king-sizes has the luxury of an en-suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom, plus a family shower room. Climb the stairs to a twin bedroom with a Juliet balcony overlooking the open fields. Make the most of all the outside space by playing rounders on the lawn with the children. Throw a ball for your canine companion too. Soak up the sunshine and dine under the huge Suffolk skies. There is ample off-road parking.
Enjoy walks through the Dedham Vale and Stour Valley, where artist John Constable famously painted his landscapes. Arrange a trip to Woodbridge to peruse its colourful shops and take a cruise along the picturesque River Deben. Plan a day at the seaside at Frinton, 24 miles away.
