Description from owner
Description
Proud to have been awarded a Certificate of Excellence in 2014, 2017 and 2018 Souters consists of a converted barn on a track leading to the owner's small farm. It provides an exceptional, secluded and very comfortable place to stay. Souters has one bedroom with a king size bed. The living space and kitchen areas have space for up to 4 people. Inside is a wood burner - perfect for cosy winter evenings; outside is a wood fired pizza oven - perfect for summer evenings (and don't restrict yourself to cooking just pizzas). The private garden is surrounded by woods teeming with wildlife and provides a peaceful place to relax.
We are in the heart of Dedham Vale AONB and Stour Valley. There are very good restaurants and bistro pubs in the locality and an award winning farm shop in the next village. Souters is a good base from which to explore the countryside and other East Anglian delights, being just 5 minutes drive from the A12 midway between Ipswich and Colchester. The historic market town of Hadleigh is 5 miles away with buildings of interest and an individual high street with varied shopping opportunities.
Ideal for a quiet break to enjoy the surrounding Constable countryside by foot or bicycle. Dedham is an attraction for artists and is just 2 miles away with art gallery and shop, Munnings museum and tea houses. Dedham has become a very popular base recently for "wild" swimmers and for other water based activities.
