BARN CONVERSION HIDAWAY RETREAT IN THE BEAUTIFUL SUFFOLK COUNTRYSIDE.

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.

DROVERS COTTAGE (2 bed sleeps 6)

Being set within a peaceful environment, Drover's cottage has been designed in sympathy with the listed farmhouse nearby, retaining oak beams and design features typical of the region's historic architecture. This cottage being a conversion from an original farm building specifically to supply the needs of the holiday maker, there is everything one could wish for to facilitate a restful, rural escape. The well-appointed kitchen area includes fridge/freezer, range style oven, washing machine and dish washer. The traditional bathroom featuring roll top bath is in addition to the en-suite facilities to both bedrooms. The open plan layout of the kitchen and spacious dining and living areas gives an airy open feel whilst at the same time the wood burner encourages a snug, warm atmosphere. There are TVs with DVD players in both the lounge and bedrooms, and a generous enclosed garden with dog proof fencing, BBQ and patio area with table and chairs.
Additionally, there is a covered BBQ area, ample parking and uniquely a decking area set in the middle of one of the lakes, where one can soak up the rays or watch the sunset with a gin and tonic to hand.
A track runs from the back of the lakes straight on to a drove that heads off in different directions across the countryside, lovely walks and great for dogs.

Excellent location for a short break
The property was spacious, clean and comfortable. Perfect for two couples and two dogs. The tallest in our party found the headroom a little low in places but he survived without too many knocks! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely property in a lovely location.
Really couldn't fault it. We were here to visit our son's R.A.F memorial and grave in Honington and wanted peace, calm, and tranquillity, which this provided. Location is wonderful with easy access, and parking adjacent to the property. Cleanliness and facilities were all we could have hoped for. The accomodation is warm, comfortable, and maintained to a high standard throughout. Would highly recommend.
