If you're looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, this is it. Nestled in the rural Suffolk countryside, this cottage has everything you need for a lovely getaway. The interior is light and inviting while being cosy and warm, with touches of natural wood throughout. The living room and kitchen lead you to the patio doors, which invite in that countryside fresh air and light up the cream walls. The house naturally draws you out through the patio doors and into the large garden, surrounded by tall hedges and trees. It's beautifully serene and peaceful, the perfect place to feel the morning sun on your face as you enjoy a cup of tea. The outdoor table is ideal for alfresco breakfasts, preparing you for a great day out in the country. Whether it be a hike, a bike ride, exploring quaint villages, or spending the day on the beach, there's so much you can do to enjoy this beautiful area. You're less than a twenty-minute drive from Aldeburgh – a beautiful seaside town with a great beach, as well as boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Or, take the ten-minute drive to Framlingham, a historic market town famous... for its 12th-century castle. Bike rides are particularly lovely around this area, Suffolk actually has two National Cycle Networks. If you can't bring bikes, not to worry – the nearby pub rents them out. It's only a two-minute walk away and not only does it rent bikes, but this 17th-century pub also offers great local beers and excellent pub grub. Ideal for rounding off a wonderful day.
