Situated in the quiet village of Sweffling, this white-washed cottage is as idyllic as they come. Start your day in the fuss-free living area. The contemporary sofa is just the place to sit and nurse your morning coffee, while the modern kitchen is well-equipped for whipping up a hearty cooked breakfast. When the sun shines, settle into the deckchair on the patio with a good book or pull on your walking shoes and ramble through the surrounding countryside. Nip over to the small market town of Framlingham, a ten-minute-drive away, to discover the 12th century castle, followed by a spot of lunch at The Crown gastropub. If you’re keen to explore the Suffolk coast, Aldeburgh is only a twenty-minute drive from your doorstep. Return to your abode in the early evening for board games in the dining space as the roaring wood-burning stove keeps you toasty. As soon as you’re ready to get some rest, head up to the sumptuous bedrooms for a night of sweet dreams.
