The beautiful market town of Framlingham is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) and has been known since Anglo Saxon times, when it consisted of several manors which William the Conqueror (1066-1087) presented to Roger Bigod. The town is of particular interest as it has a large castle and mere which was built between 1190 and 1210. The town is surrounded by lovely villages to explore and has two of the oldest working post boxes and one of Britain’s smallest houses, with the footprint measuring 6.1x2.2m!

Andrew
We loved staying in Bluebell cottage in Suffolk, it had everything we could ask for and more, so well equipped. I am currently having chemo for stage 4 terminal lung cancer and Katie bent over backwards to ensure I was ok from time to time, she even helped me load up my car for the way home, this was very helpful indeed. We are already considering returning at some point we loved the cottage and our hosts son much. Do not hesitate to book this charming cottage, you will not be disappointed Kindest regards Andrew and Eamonn

To be picky the sofa was a bit too small for two people. We very much enjoyed our stay though. The owners Katie and Peter were very friendly and helpful.
