Views over open farmland ideally situated for exploring the Suffolk coast

Set back from the road. Built circa 1750, this traditional timber-framed cottages has been carefully renovated and fitted out to a high standard to offer comfortable accommodation whilst retaining many original features such as oak beams, wattle and daub walls and a bread oven.

One of two adjoining cottages available to rent, No 9 is a cosy cottage that sleeps 3-4 people and is available for stays of 3 nights or more. Because of the limitations on how we can set prices on this site please ask for a quote for short stays of between 4-6 nights so that we can apply a discount.

On the ground floor is the living/dining room. Has two comfortable sofas around an open fire, perfect for cosy winter evenings. There is a dining area to one side. The small well-equipped kitchen also has a microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. There is a small worktop freezer located in the cupboard in the living room.

The shower room and toilet are also on the ground floor.

On the first floor, there are two bedrooms with views to the front. The second bedroom which is accessed through the main bedroom has a single bed plus a pull out second bed when required both beds have sprung mattresses. Blackout blinds are fitted at the windows.

At the back is a small semi-enclosed garden set out with a garden table and chairs where you can enjoy the fabulous view over open farmland.
The cottages are located in a village just outside the Blyth valley, an area of outstanding natural beauty. We love the slower pace of life, the relaxed atmosphere, and the great local produce.

The village has a family and dog-friendly pub that serves good food and a good local shop where basic supplies can be bought. Both are within a short walk from the cottages.

The cottage offers an ideal location for exploring the Suffolk coastal area and delving deeper into the Suffolk countryside.

Please Note: As is fairly common of workers cottages of this age the ceiling height is low with some low beams (less than 6ft). The Stairs are also quite steep so are not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Lovely cottage with beautiful garden
Good to have a return visit to this lovely cottage. I love the front garden, which is full of traditional 'cottage garden' flowers and was as beautiful as I remembered. The inside is tastefully furnished and well equipped with everything you need. It's a good base for visiting the coast and the nearby reserves such as Minsmere.

Beautiful quiet cottage with lovely garden
Cottage is compact, but there was plenty of space for us (two adults) and it had a lovely homely feel with tasteful furniture and furnishings. Many original features have been preserved. We had all the equipment and utensils we needed. Despite the main road location, it feels surprising quiet and peaceful due to the beautifully planted cottage garden at the front and the rear patio with lovely view over the fields. The location is convenient for the coast. Minsmere and Dunwich Heath are about 15-20 mins drive. Ideally, I like to be even closer, but I made a late booking so was just pleased to find this cottage available. It worked out better than I'd imagined as we loved the cottage. I would definitely return in future if not able to find anything suitable (smaller lets seem to be harder to find) closer to the coast.

A really nice cottage. Great location for access to different areas of the coast. Well equipped and comfortable. Really nice front garden. The road was slightly busy at times at the front of the house but didn't cause us too much concern. A great stay. Thanks.

Most amazing Christmas ever!
Firstly Jacqui was amazing and super accommodating and what to thank her for giving us the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful home! We were absolutely overwhelmed with how beautiful this little cottage was, the views from the back door was the most peaceful sights we had ever seen out of all of the holiday stay we have had! We had a log fire throughout Christmas Day and spent the three night stay curled up playing games and watching Harry Potter in the evenings. It had everything you needed and was super cozy! There was a lovely forest a short drive away we had a walk around ever day call dunwich forest. We will definitely return in the future!!

Lovely cottage from which to explore Suffolk
If you are a family with a small to medium size dog, this is a lovely cottage to stay. Cosy, clean with all the essentials. The addition of milk, tea, coffee and cake for arrival was a lovely touch. I wouldn’t say the garden is particularly dog suited but I imagine it looks beautiful in spring/ summer and the dogs have space to do their business. There is a dog friendly pub down the road but that’s about it in Bramfield. However lots of options of places to visit by car and the 2 magpies bakery is definitely worth a visit!

Very sweet cottage, great location
Lovely little cottage with amazing original features. Very well kitted out including sharp knives which is rare! Good shower, comfy sofas. Double bed mattress is poor, really springy and loud - only one of us slept in it, in the middle. I understand COVID rules but check in at 5 and out at 9 is poor, we were able to check in 4.30 (still not great) and out at 10. Brilliant location for coastal district exploring. Lovely local pub too.
