Suffolk - WHAT TO DO

Holmwood Cottage sleeps 4

Holmwood Cottage is an absolutely gorgeous 16th Century Thatched Cottage in a group of 5 cottages and a pub on the Sudbury to Ipswich road, just 4 ½ miles from us at The Grove.

It has a charming double bedroom with a second twin/double bedroom leading off from it.

The bedrooms are especially cosy with pretty beds and wonderful original broad Elmwood floors.

The lovely fully equipped kitchen has an ancient Suffolk brick floor and seats 6 at the table.

There is a very pretty beamed sitting room with lots of room to relax in and enjoy the charms of this unspoilt 16th Century beamed and thatched cottage.

The 'completely new' bathroom is situated downstairs and has both a bath and separate shower.

Beautiful Persian carpets and rugs show off the charm of the original features in this lovingly restored cottage

Outside there is a large patio overlooking the pretty 'cottage garden', at the side there is a small shallow pond which encourages wildlife and at the back there is a second pretty evening sun patio with a wooden deck and BBQ facilities, this patio leads straight into the kitchen and is partially glass covered giving you an additional 'outside room'

The garden is enclosed and there is a gated courtyard for 2 cars to park in, this has access straight to the garden.

Well behaved pets are always welcomed and no charge is made for them - please ensure your pet respects the garden and the cottage and is not allowed to damage anything or sleep on any furniture, please do not let dogs upstairs or leave them alone in the property. Please bring suitable bedding.

The garden is enclosed but it does have a small pond to encourage wildlife, and therefore little children should be supervised, there is also a sunny patio at the front and a BBQ patio which catches the afternoon sun leading out of the kitchen at the back.
