1 Bathroom A gorgeous fully self-contained, one bedroom cottage with hot tub, set in the idyllic Suffolk countryside. Peaceful location, yet close to some of Suffolk's star attractions, including the beaches of Southwold and Walberswick , the Norfolk broads, Framlingham castle, the cultural hub of Snape Maltings, countless pubs in which to enjoy a meal, as well as many walks displaying the natural beauty of the region. We are dog friendly with a safe garden and a maze of footpaths on our doorstep
Our one bedroom cottage, also known as The Dairy, is a fully furnished holiday home, perfect for couples seeking a quiet retreat or those looking for a base while you explore Suffolk. With high speed internet, The Dairy also makes an excellent base for work related stays.
The Dairy has everything you need for a relaxing stay, including a hot tub, bedroom with king bed with luxurious linen, modern bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and living room fitted with TV with Netflix, and sofa as well as a dining table for two. The cottage provides a perfect stay for two people and is equipped with everything you'll need and more.
The Dairy is positioned near our other holiday property, The Stables, which is a 3 bedroom fully furnished home. Both properties are totally independent and private of each other, however if you are travelling in a large group, they can be rented together, pending availability.
* Please note that there is a deep pond next to the property. This is fenced off from the garden, and also has child proof gates leading to it
The closest market town of Beccles is a 10 minute drive away, and has everything you need during your stay including supermarkets, butchers, pharmacies, restaurants.....The city of Norwich is approximately 45 minutes away and has a large array of restaurants, cultural activities, cinemas, shopping and night life.
Please be aware that we welcome your furry four legged friends, however we ask that they be kept out of the bedrooms and off the beds as it is very difficult to remove animal hair from the carpets. Thanks for your understanding, Anna.
As well as the entire cottage, guests have access to a large private front garden, as well as numerous walks on Sotterley Estate, for which we can provide detailed information.
Nicki will be available to answer any questions you have leading up to and during your stay. She lives close by and so is able to provide any assistance you require.
If you require to use the laundry or hoover during your stay, please look in the shed in the courtyard with the black door behind your property. The key to this sits in a bowl on top of the fridge in the kitchen. The bins are also in this courtyard.
If you need more wood during your stay, you can find logs in the black wooden chest, also in the courtyard.
Please note that we provide tea bags and a few coffee pods and sugar, oil, salt and pepper. We do provide a small bottle of milk so you can enjoy a cuppa after your long journey! We do not provide any other breakfast or food items. Tescos, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Morrisons all deliver in this area if you wish to arrange a food delivery. There are also supermarkets in Beccles which is a 10 minute drive away - a Tescos, Morrisons, Coop nad Lidls.
The hot tub will be available for guests (at an additional cost). This can take 2 hours to heat up so please plan this into your day. The hot tub will be pre-filled with water - you just need to start the fire and keep it topped up with logs. An aggressive fire which is topped up regularly will heat the water the quickest. Please do not leave a lit hot tub unattended. We provide fire lighters, matches and logs in the shed next to the hot tub.
We provide a hand towel and bath towel per person and tea towels in the kitchen - you may wish to bring extras if you plan to visit the beach or use the hot tub.
The BBQ is available for guests to use. It must be cleaned afterwards please. Please note, we do not provide charcoal, please bring your own.
You will find a leaflet showing some nice local walks on the window sill by the back door.
Well behaved dogs are welcome, we just ask that you keep them off the sofa and out of the bedrooms please.
