About this property
Offering peace and calm to couples wishing to enjoy idyllic views across the Stour Valley, Bell Tower Cottage is an exceptional retreat that will leave guests rested and renewed. With the Dedham Vale and nearby Lavenham only a short drive away, there's plenty on offer for those that want to explore the local area.
Comprised of a generous open-plan living area that incorporates sitting room, dining table and kitchen, there is ample space provided. The living areas are also supported by a large luxurious bedroom and master bathroom, making Bell Tower Cottage a wonderful example of a quality retreat that has been purposefully designed for a couple. With a wood burning stove in the sitting room, this bolt hole is equally comfortable in the heat of the summer as it is in the depths of a cold winter. With so much of the landscape being wooded, autumnal walks through the valley are also a tremendous pleasure. The interiors of the cottage have been beautifully curated to make the accommodation uncomplicated, yet stylish. The superb bathroom and bedroom are a match for any boutique hotel!
Outside the aspect offered in the garden gives you a view across the Stour Valley, and is bordered by the garden of the neighbouring property. From here you can enjoy a good coffee and a calm start, while looking out for visiting wildlife from the adjacent woodland. This can include woodpeckers, owls, kestrels and deer.

We loved the cottage. It was bright and perfectly furnished and very comfortable. We loved the wall -charging torches and have ordered some to have at home. We appreciated having a bath and a walk in shower. We weren't sure how to access the wifi and the link answered our phone query. We felt the key placement was not easy for oldies like us and had we arrived in the dark, it would have been very difficult to access. The height of the hood over the hob meant that we bumped our heads and felt that was a bit dangerous. But neither the key placement nor the hood level spoiled our holiday in any way. The location was perfection for us. We loved being in easy access to so many towns and villages and houses of interest.

We've had a wonderful week in this stylish, comfortable and homely cottage. There are endless walks beginning on the bridal path at the top of the road, mainly leading to the Henny Swan pub, which became a dangerous habit we could easily get used to. We managed a lot of culture and Thomas Gainsborough's birthplace in Sudbury, a great exhibition of art and well worth a visit! A lovely, peaceful and tranquil holiday in perfect surroundings! We'll definitely be back.
