About this property
Nestled in the quiet country village of Sweffling, White Cottage is the perfect retreat for any couple or small family looking to enjoy the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
This neat two-bedroom property in the small village of Sweffling is a charming holiday getaway. Surrounded by Suffolk countryside, it’s a great option for a couple or small family wanting tranquillity, long walks, and easy access to the coastline.
After a day exploring the landscape, step into the modern and bright open-plan living area. The lounge is a good space to relax in with its chic sofa and cosy wood burner, and home-from-home comforts include a shelf full of games, ambient lighting, and soft cushions. The whole space is swathed in natural light and when the weather is good, you’ll want to push open the French doors and let the fresh air breeze in.
When it’s time to eat, rustle up a meal in the neat kitchen and then serve it at the dining table with seating for four people. From the ground floor, cool tones and whitewashed walls sweep up to the first floor where the two bedrooms are located. Featuring a double bed and twin beds, the rooms are a good size, pleasantly furnished, and wonderfully soothing. There’s also a separate shower room on this floor. Outside, a small patio is a lovely spot to sit and plan your day’s agenda. Alternatively, simply relax at the table and soak up the peaceful surroundings.
Sweffling is a picturesque village with a friendly pub and café. Keen walkers can jump on routes straight from the doorstep but for a leisurely stroll enjoy the 3-mile circular route to Rendham. For a day out head to Framlingham (4.5 miles) and explore the 12th-century castle with its glorious parkland and lake. Alternatively, journey to Aldeburgh (9.5 miles) and spend the day on the beach.

Overall a comfortable place to stay but one or two issues eg: parking, [ which can be overcome with a little common sense ] Good base for exploring many places of interest in the area

Lovely little cottage in a beautiful, quiet village. The location is great for exploring all that Suffolk has to offer - castles, beaches and plenty of pubs all within a half an hour drive. The cottage itself is small but perfectly formed. It worked well do us as two adults and two children (6 and 8), we were our most of the day but it was nice to come back to comfy beds and a cute little living room. We particularly appreciated the friendly neighbour who gave us fresh eggs a few times!

Nice little cottage in a lovely location. Beds and bathroom are clean, rest of it could do with some TLC.
