Brimming with quintessential cottage charm, this countryside escape features a secluded outdoor space and is ideally situated on the outskirts of Woodbridge. Outdoor enthusiasts, leisure lovers, and four-pawed adventurers alike are sure to delight in a retreat to this relaxing abode. Crunch over leaves on the light-dappled woodland trails of the Woodbridge Nature Walk (3 miles), then soak up the afternoon sun from the patio as you graze through a snack board.

This cottage is the perfect rural escape with warm terracotta tones, original wooden flooring, and antique-style furnishings. Step through the stable door into the traditional shaker kitchen with wooden worktops. Stash away outdoor gear in the utility room, then potter as you cook up an evening feast. Rope in an assistant to set the polished dining table then crack open the bubbly and mark your special occasion with a celebratory evening soiree. After dinner, retreat to the workspace to let the creative flow or congregate for a post-adventure debrief in the lounge. Browse the bookshelf or stretch out on the soft sofas with a movie. On balmy evenings, prop open the patio doors and venture outside to blether beneath the stars. Upstairs, discover three bright bedrooms, each with cosy soft furnishings. Choose from an elegant double, an airy small double (suitable for teenagers), and an adaptable single with a pull-out bed. Outdoors, furry friends and little ones can roam free on the enclosed lawn while you dish up an al fresco breakfast spread on the patio.

Soak in the mystical Anglo-Saxon burial site of Sutton Hoo (500 metres) from the viewing tower then discover the archaeological delights of Tranmer House. Pack a picnic and stroll the glistening shoreline of Shingle Street Beach (7.5 miles) then refuel with a tipple on the waterfront of Orford Quay (10.5 miles).
