"It’s a lovely cottage, but I think a microwave in the kitchen would have been a bonus!"

The stairs and getting into bed was quite challenging if you’ve got joint problems. This is just a comment for advertising as I appreciate there was nowhere else to put the bed, and the stairs were quite steep. The cottage was in a lovely location and the garden was safe for my dog which was important for me

"The location is good for walking, with excellent local shop, cafe & pub & friendly people."

The cottage is tiny & basic, but had everything we needed; the local peafowl provided added entertainment! We would go back.

"Cute little cottage in a lovely setting overlooking the green bordered by timber framed buildings and frequented by a large family of Peacocks."

Equiped well for 2 people, and bowls and poobags for our large dog. Private garden to the side. A good location for visiting the coast at Dunwich or Southwold and inland to Framlingham Castle, all less than half an hours drive. Niggles on our visit - the path around the back is shared and every morning tradesmen working on number 3 walked past our lounge and kitchen windows. Only a temporary situation I suspect as number 3 should soon be finished, but as numbers 2 and 3 will still be using it net curtains could help. We also had a little difficulty using the microwave as the turntable support ring was not present - odd as it looked like a brand new appliance. Ah - and there was no broom!

"On arrival we were greeted with a resident telling us not to park where we had and according to our instructions from Sykes we had parked correctly ."

Next day we get a visit from the land lady, so obviously we were reported. Advised land lady we had a leaking radiator in the kitchen to which she replied “have you reported it “ surely it’s not up to us to do this …I would have thought property should be checked over, Also no Heating what so ever upstairs

The property

A 16th century cottage located in the heart of Peasenhall, just 9 miles from the coast.

2 The Almshouses is perfect for a couple looking to explore the countryside of Suffolk.

Ease into this delightful cottage, punctuated by wooden beams and period charm.

When planning the day ahead of you, relax in a sitting room with with beamed ceiling and feature fireplace.

The kitchen is contemporary with cream cupboards and ample amenities for you to cook a romantic meal for two, which can be enjoyed at either the breakfast bar or dining table located in the sitting room.

As the day draws to a close, freshen up in the bathroom with slanting ceilings before cosying up in a king-size bedroom.

Dine alfresco in the private garden with a laid lawn which can be enjoyed by your four-legged companions.

If you wish to explore the history of Suffolk, head a little further from the property to find Framlingham, where an impressive castle boasts walks in the grounds and fantastic picnic spots, or for a taste of the sea air, the town of Aldeburgh is only a short distance away, sporting many eateries, small shops and of course a fantastic pebbled beach.
