  • "A well equipped cottage which suited our needs very well."

    A good location for our visits to Sutton Hoo, Dunwich and Woodbridge. A warm welcome from Lennie on arrival. Thanks for the surprise gift of wine and cookies, which we all enjoyed.

  • "Harvest Moon is a wonderful cottage."

    It has a home-from-home feeling, was warm and cosy and the location is perfect, surrounded by peaceful countryside.  Our hosts, Teresa and Lennie were very warm and welcoming, we couldn't have hoped for anything better ... and the wine, biscuits and milk on arrival were very welcome. Can't wait to return

  • "A very quiet and remote location, but in easy reach of local amenities and tourist attractions."

    There is everything you would need in the property and the large garden was a bonus, especially in the evenings for watching lovely sunsets. We had plenty of room with 2 adults and two teenagers. Owners really friendly and on hand if needed.

  • "The listing should indicate that the single rooms are tiny and not really suitable for adults, they are more suitable for a family with children."

    Our friends found difficulty accessing their luggage. The fan in the bathroom did not appear to be working and the room fogged up with each shower. It was a very suitable modern unit, The dishwasher was appreciated.

  • "A quiet location despite the student cars taking the lane as a shortcut to Otley college."

    Not seen the night sky as clear as that for a long time. The tabletop freezer was sufficient for our self-catering needs. Everything was easy to use but the original manuals were available if needed. Grundisburgh church with its many angels in its roof beams is well worth a visit as is the coffee shop in the village. The post office shop had everything for daily needs. The local roads were easy driving although windy like almost every road in Suffolk.

The owners who we got chatting with, are lovely people. Friendly, helpful and kind. We were lucky with the weather as it was warm and sunny every day but one........on the only day it rained the owners brought round dvd's for the children and also gave us eggs from their chickens. The accommodation is very much home from home.......comfortable and cosy........we loved the peace and quiet of the large garden.

    I particularly like how you make it so easy on your website to filter out the 'dog friendly' properties as I have acute health issues that are triggered by prolonged exposure to animal fur/dander. Keep up the good work and stress to your property owning clients that if their accommodation is advertised as 'no pets' it must always be so for the sake of my comfort and others like me. Keep up the good work and we will keep returning to you!

The property

Grundisburgh 1.5 miles.

This beautifully-presented, semi-detached character cottage is attached to the owner's home and is situated just outside the picturesque village of Grundisburgh, close to the market town Woodbridge.

This wonderful cottage benefits from far-reaching rural views and an extensive garden, perfect for a family or a couple looking for the peace and quiet in a rural location but within easy reach of the wonderful Suffolk heritage coast and numerous beautiful towns and villages.

From the private parking and garden area you step straight in to the well-equipped kitchen which leads in to the open plan living area.

Here you will instantly relax with the cottage feel and wonderful woodburner nestled in the impressive brick surround.

Sit back after a day out exploring and enjoy the warmth of the fire while enjoying an evening meal together or relaxing with a movie.

Upstairs, there are two single bedrooms and a double bedroom, and the family bathroom is on the ground floor.

From your delightful cottage travel to the village of Grundisburgh which has a village shop and a popular, vibrant pub serving local ales and excellent food.

The cottage serves as a perfect base for exploring Suffolk with Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Snape, Orford and Framlingham all within half an hour in the car.

A little further afield brings you to the likes of Southwold and historic Lavenham, all of which are well worth a visit.

The area offers excellent road cycling along quiet and famously flat roads which link villages and numerous pubs and cafes on route.

Golfers are spoilt for choice with a range of wonderful golf courses close by, and there are a number of riding stables where you could go out on a hack or even just take a lesson.

This really is a fabulous cottage with a range of things to do nearby, whatever the time of the year, and you will want to return again and again.
