About this property
Packed to the rafters with antiques and vintage statement pieces, this early 18th century house has been transformed to provide a one-of-a-kind self-catering experience. Whether you're dreaming of summer barbecues in a private garden, or long winter evenings spent with a jigsaw in front of the fire, Crafers truly has all the ingredients for a truly magical holiday.
Superb location for large family stays with cosy interiors, generous gardens, an entertainment lounge, and a games room. This exceptional property sleeps eight guests and is perfect for those looking to discover the surrounding Suffolk countryside.
Enter this impressive 18th-century home and drop bags, coats, and boots off in the spacious hallway. Be wowed as you wander through the large farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, ready to rustle up something tasty for the group. Here, you'll spend lots of time catching up with loved ones and sharing bottles of wine while your head chef does the honours. Sprawl out on the sofas with a nightcap, or retreat to the games room, complete with pool table, gym equipment, and plenty of books to choose from. As heads get heavy, climb the stairs to rest tired eyes in the lovingly-decorated bedrooms; a super-king, a king-size, and two twins. Soak in balmy afternoons in front of the fire pit in the enclosed garden space, or sip your morning brew here while watching the sunrise above the trees.
Experience the best of Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as you navigate jaw-dropping scenery, fascinating heritage and memorable walking trails. Discover the delights of Easton Farm Park (3 miles), Parham Airfield Museum (4 miles) and Bentwaters Cold War Museum (5.5 miles), all within a short drive, or have a day of self-care at the spa hotel, Ufford Park (2.5 miles). No stay is complete without exploring the retro seaside resort of Aldeburgh (12 miles), which offers pastel-coloured housing, a bustling promenade, and fisherman's huts selling the catch of the day.

Mr John R
We have had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house. The house was prepared to the highest standard, and as a group of six we found it to accommodate us with ease. The kitchen was our social area, with some use of the garden when it didn't rain. Our stay has been relaxing and enjoyable with so many other towns and villages in driving distance. A fantastic location, house and hosts. Thank you!

What a special house we feel so grateful we managed to get booked in to Crafers for the day restrictions were lifted. It was exactly what we all needed. The children absolutely loved the house - perfect for hide and seek! Every creature comfort we could need. It has been the perfect base from which to explore beautiful Suffolk. A big thank you for sharing your piece or paradise with us

Lee, Matthew & Laurie
Thank you for a very warm welcome and enjoyable stay. A great house on a wet and windy afternoon! Staying as a family, the highlights were the sandy beaches at Southwold and Walberswick (low tide). Don't miss the "under the pier" show at Southwold Pier - a room of brilliantly imaginative and and funny machines. Delicious food at The Crown Hotel and Station. We managed to have a glorious afternoon at Dunwich Heath in a pocket of sunshine - highly recommended for a very special landscape. Thank you for being so accommodating on check in/out times. We head back to London for lockdown #2. I hope everything goes well for you over this time and we will be back. Very best
