About this property
Exquisite single-storey holiday home located within striking Suffolk countryside. Invite your loved one and furry friend to this beautiful property to enjoy a romantic break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Take off your walking boots, hang up your dog leads and make your way into the cottage, where you'll instantly warm those chilly toes on the underfloor heating. Sink into the plush sofa in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and fire up the wood burner for evening snuggles with your other half. Nearby, a modern kitchen offers all the equipment required to impress your hungry guest before serving at the booth in the corner. A lovely large garden with a patio and lawn provides scenic surroundings for nighttime tipples and early morning cuppas or soaking up the views from the bedroom. Here, a king-size bed and free-standing bath provide luxurious comfort, while the bi-folding doors offer the opportunity to soak up the fresh breeze that will drift through this incredible room.
If you can tear yourself away from this romantic bolthole, the nearby village of Wickhambrook has a rich history of Anglo-Saxon settlements, wine marking and 16th-century homes. Visit here to join many glorious walking trails out in the sticks with your contented canine in tow. Head to Bury St Edmunds for a look around its cathedral and colourful Abbey Gardens (9 miles), Newmarket for a day out at the races (11 miles) and Long Melford for independent shops and galleries (12 miles). There's something for everyone here!

This is a cosy but comfortable and well equipped property. Well located with a number of places of interest within a short distance. The full length windows and doors, especially in the bedroom give's great views across the Suffolk countryside, and the view from the bath provides an added luxury.

From the moment we walked through the door at the Old School House we knew that we had chosen an amazing tranquil peaceful place to stay for my birthday. The attention to detail was great , the bath and bifold doors amazing to watch the world go by and just listen to the birds, I cannot recommend this place enough to switch off and reconnect with loved ones.
