About this cottage rental
Situated in the quietest of settings in the beautiful rural county of Suffolk. The property enjoys views of the peaceful countryside from its idyllic isolated setting. From this restful hideaway one can explore the many local footpaths and lanes on foot or visit nearby attractions by car or bicycle, from windmills, churches, nature reserves to steam attractions, sports venues and a wealth of local shops, pubs and eateries. The historic towns of Cambridge and Norwich are within an hour's drive, and the iconic coastlines of Norfolk or Suffolk make for a memorable day out.
HOSTLERS COTTAGE
Hostlers cottage is set within the curtilage of the listed farmhouse and so has been designed in a sympathetic manner, retaining original oak beams and with the introduction of new hand-crafted solid oak joinery features, some from wood sourced on site. As a purpose-built conversion of original farm buildings Hostlers has everything one would wish to find in a holiday home-from-home. As well as a well-appointed kitchen area there is a separate utility area with washing machine and dish washer, and the bathroom has the pampering features of a drench shower and a whirlpool bath with oodles of piping hot water. There are TVs with DVD players in both lounge and bedroom, and a small, enclosed garden with dog proof fencing and BBQ, patio, table and chairs. Additionally, there is a covered BBQ area adjoining the cottage, ample parking and uniquely a decking area set in the middle of one of the lakes where one can soak up the raise or watch the sunset with a gin and tonic to hand.
A track at the back of the lakes leads onto a drove heading off in different directions across the countryside, beautiful walks and perfect for dogs.
The high-ceilinged open plan design of the cottage gives the living area a spacious airy feel whilst at the same time there is a cosy comforting feel to this little gem of a country hideaway, ideal for romantic evenings for two away from the hubbub of modern life.

Friendly before and after contact by host. Lovely small lodge in very rural setting, surrounded by open fields, droves and lanes, great for rural walks, with or without dogs and straight from the door, be prepared with waterproof shoes or boots, especially in wet conditions. Watched a squirrel bury an acorn in the garden, deer walk by and ducks. We stayed in November, weather was cold, on arrival noticed how clean and fragrant this property was, glad radiators were easy to operate as it felt a bit cold in living room area and bedroom heater wasn't on, easy to turn on though, after a few hours whole place warmed up nicely so we had a cosy stay. There were fresh eggs, some small pots of milk, sachets of tea, coffee and sauces plus condiments, tea towel and washing up items, nice thick towels in the bathroom. There is a folder with plenty of details about the surrounding area etc, in opposite directions there is a Co op shop and a spar shop both only a 5 - 10 minute drive away. My husband drives for a living so we always look for somewhere where there are walks straight from our stay and shops not too far, we like quiet, peaceful and rural and that's what this is, but also to be able to have a lovely hot worlpool bath or nice drench shower and we found the bed to be soft with a deep mattress and great for snuggling down to watch tv in bed. A few board games etc provided. Need to take bedding for dog, all wood flooring, could do with doormat at french doors. Gravel parking area.

Beautiful walking territory even in December would be absolutely perfect when in good weather and the lakes would be alive with wildlife....
Local pubs too in walking distance.
Hostler’s is very well equipped and would definitely recommend a visit!
