Description

Stable Cottage is a beautiful romantic flint period cottage set in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The stable dates to 1750’s and has been tastefully renovated over two floors. This traditional cottage sleeps two people in comfort and offers the perfect cosy retreat and ideal setting for couples seeking a relaxing holiday or a romantic break. This hideaway is ideal for short breaks and is perfect as a base for touring the picturesque Suffolk coastal area from the market town of Saxmundham.

Stable cottage is just 500 yards (5 mins walk) from the High Street, where there are a number of interesting independent shops. Parking is available on the road just outside the cottage or in nearby car parks.

“8 month home away from home”

Reviewed 18 Dec 2020

Moved in to stable cottage at the end of April 2020 and have stayed here now for 8 months due to working away. It is a peaceful cottage with everything that you need available, location is brilliant for easy to access to surrounding coastal villages, train station and local shops. The owners are friendly and easy to get hold of, sorting any issues quickly without fuss. The cottage itself is comfortable and clean with a double bed and nice patio for summer evenings. Would highly recommend, perfect home away from home.
