Peace and quiet
Guests say this home is in a quiet area.
Escape to your own peaceful retreat in the heart of Suffolk.
Wake to open views, birdsong and big skies. Unwind on the balcony with a morning coffee or evening drink as the sun sets across the fields.
Perfect for couples, a friends getaway, or a relaxing break with a parent. Ideal for anyone seeking space, calm and fresh air. Ideally placed for exploring Lavenham, Bury St Edmunds and the best of rural Suffolk.
Highly rated as spotlessly clean, and one of Airbnb’s most loved homes.
The space
The guest cottage is designed for a comfortable and relaxing stay for up to 3 guests, and works particularly well for couples or a friend’s getaway.
With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it offers space and privacy, ideal for those who prefer not to feel on top of each other.
Guests often say how peaceful and calm it feels here, and how closely the cottage matches the photos.
Spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, with very comfortable beds, it’s a place to truly switch off and rest.
Wake to open countryside views and unwind with sunsets from the balcony or garden. Peace and quiet is the norm here, especially at night - with only birdsong, distant church bells and the sounds of nature around you.
Wildlife is part of the experience. You may spot red kites, owls, deer, muntjac and brown hares, while the bird feeders attract constant activity just outside. Binoculars are provided if you’d like a closer look.
With very little light pollution, clear nights reveal a sky full of stars, something many guests comment on.
Designed with large areas of glass to maximise natural light and views, the cottage is best suited to adults and older guests.
Located on a quiet country lane, this is a true escape from busy life, while still within easy reach of Suffolk’s most loved places.
Guest access
You have your own private entrance via a gate from the drive, leading into your own garden area.
A garden table and chairs are provided, perfect for relaxing outside, watching the birds, and taking in the open countryside views.
Other things to note
We look forward to welcoming you when you visit for your relaxing and peaceful stay.
