Get ready for a holiday in this picturesque cottage, perfect for a family and grandparents or a mixed group of friends ready to explore Suffolk and have fun. Spend days on the beach, shop in Norwich or learn about the history of Bury St Edmunds, then return for a cosy evening in front of the wood burner with the people you love most.

The first thing to do when you arrive is make a nice cup of tea in the kitchen/dining area. It’s a great spot for big, sociable meals and has everything you’ll need to rustle up a feast, and it’s finished with a lovely stone tile floor. After this, check out the den/playroom, fitted out with a TV and beanbags for companionable quiet time. Alternatively, try the sitting room, a lovely room warmed by a wood burner, with sofas offering the perfect spot to curl up for a chat. On relaxed and sunny afternoons, make your way to the conservatory for some time with your book. There are two bathrooms: a shower room on the ground floor and a family bathroom featuring a beautiful roll-top claw-foot bath upstairs. This property has three bedrooms, two doubles and a twin, located on the first floor. They’re comfortable and simply decorated so you can all sleep well. The garden is beautiful, especially in the summer. There’s a shady dining spot for al-fresco meals and a shed for bike storage.

You’ll have easy access to several wonderful places including Norwich (20 miles) for shopping and history, Bury St Edmunds (22 miles) for walks and a cathedral, and Dunwich (25 miles) for a seaside town with coastal attractions. For supplies – or meals out and pub lunches – visit Diss (2.5 miles). End your holiday by visiting the giraffes, red pandas and penguins at Banham Zoological Gardens, 9 miles.

Wonderful peaceful retreat, felt far from the madding crowds, yet was convenient for shops. We enjoyed local walks and bike rides. Kitchen was great for cooking delicious meals and we loved the use of the cosy space round the fire OR the bright conservatory for jigsaws or reading. It was the get away we needed for a peaceful Christmas, thank you!!
