Cute, cosy, and filled to the brim with quintessential British country charm, we think this delightful holiday home nestled in the heart of the Suffolk countryside near the village of Sudbourne makes the ideal setting for a relaxing retreat. Close to the scenic banks of the River Alde as well as the pretty coastal village of Orford, this home enjoys an idyllic location within the Suffolk Coasts and Heaths Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This of course means that there are loads of nature trails, biking routes, and hiking paths for you to uncover – so those who like to keep moving during their holidays will be spoilt for choice (as will anyone with a penchant for capturing stunning natural scenery). Surrounded by farmland, this chocolate box-esque home looks as though it's been lifted straight from the pages of a fairytale. It feels quiet, tranquil, and restorative – and is all about bringing the outside in, blurring the boundaries between the great outdoors and the homely indoors with loads of French doors that lead straight into the beautiful wraparound garden, home to mature trees and an array of fragrant wildflowers. Although lovingly tended to, the garden still retains an element of unspoiled, wild charm which we particularly love. Having started the day in the bright and open-feeling kitchen with a leisurely breakfast, why not (British weather permitting) take things outside? Head to one of the charming seating areas to catch a few rays, delve into a new novel, or simply savour a rare moment of uninterrupted serenity, with the gentle chirping of birds providing the only background noise. You'll find us in the hammock...

Home truths

    This home is spread over one ground level, which we think might make it a good option for guests with mobility issues

    The master and third bedrooms, both with super king beds, can be changed into a twin room upon request (by zipping or unzipping two large single beds)

    There is an additional trundle bed in the room with bunk beds, sleeping one guest, but we have not included this in the overall guest count as the bed is slightly smaller than a standard single

    Pets are welcome to join you, but please liaise with your host

    There's a dedicated workspace here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay

    Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay
