Property code: OC-SFBOX

Visit Suffolk with your family and have a wonderful trip. This cosy cottage will comfortably accommodate a small group of four and their dog, and the surrounding area is full of adventures. It is a haven for anyone who loves wildlife, walking, cycling and the coast.

As you enter the property, you’ll find a bright, whitewashed lounge with a wooden floor, exposed beams and warmed by a wood burner. It’s a sociable spot to spend time in the evenings, curled up with a book or watching a film. The kitchen/diner is next door, equipped with everything you’ll need. Head upstairs to find the shower room and bedrooms. There’s a king-size for the grown-ups and a twin for the kids, each simply decorated and comfortable so you can sleep well and be ready for the next expedition. You’ll have access to a garden across two levels. There’s a patio with flower beds and a gravel spot with a table and chairs so you can have a cup of coffee in the sunshine. To the front is another pretty garden, looking towards the Snape Maltings Concert Hall, as well as the River Alde.

You’ll be in the village of Snape, a small and friendly place with a few pubs within 500 metres. Make sure you explore Snape Marshes to see the wildlife, including ponies, otters, kingfishers and much more. Grab your bike and try the Viking Mountain Bike Trail, 2 miles away, or wander around the Captain’s Wood (5 miles), an ancient woodland nature reserve. Finish with a day at Orford Ness Black Beacon, 6 miles, a coastal spot with a 1920s building formerly used to store radio equipment which now offers incredible sea views and occasional art exhibitions.

Really enjoyed our short stay at Box Cottage. Great location near two nice pubs and a very short walk to Snape Maltings with some lovely little shops, a pub and some excellent walks. Also not far at all from the lovely seaside town of Aldeburgh which is a must visit. The cottage is small but fine for us (2 adults, 1 child and a dog). We would absolRead moreutely recommend Hide

Lovely clean cottage with good equipment. Its snug with low ceilings but just what we wanted. Location is great. 2 pubs within 30 seconds walk. Beach is 10 min drive away. Lots of places to walk the dog. Secure garden which was also great for the dog. Cottage is near a busy road but it didnt bother us. Had a fantastic break.

Really nice cottage, well furnished with lots of nice touches. We intend to go back and have already talked about this. In a very good location with two pubs, an italian restaurant and Snape maltings within quick walking distance. The owner has been very helpful to us on both stays and has ensured a warm welcome. 10/10 for quality of stay.

Box Cottage is a lovely, well furnished base for exploring the surrounding area but the amount of traffic noise both in the house and garden did lessen our ability to sleep and relax somewhat. Comfy furnishings indoors were all of a good standard but we would have appreciated somewhere comfy to sit outside and read a book and unwind. The black suRead moren loungers seemed to have no mechanism for stopping the user tipping backwards and we had to clean the bistro set at the back in order to use it. This really is a lovely cottage but I do think road noise should be mentioned in the description. Hide

Box Cottage was the perfect base for our family (me, two kids ages 11 and 9 and one dog). Its cosy and comfortable with an excellent selection of games, books and dvds (as well as a smart tv) in the lounge and a very well equipped kitchen. We appreciated the welcome pack goodies too! The garden is fully enclosed, which was useful for the dog. If weRead mored visited in the summer, it would have been a nice garden for outdoor drinks and meals. The location is great - the pubs opposite are very good and there are beautiful walks nearby. Snape itself is a lovely village and a good base for exploring other places in Suffolk. If you have very young children, the steep stairs might prove a bit alarming but generally its a child-friendly place. Mobile phone reception is non-existent but there is good wifi so this wasnt an issue for us. Hide

May not be so suitable for very young children ( steep, open staircase) Road noise can be intrusive but outweighed by lovely ambience of the cottage. Very well equipped, beautifully furnished, ideal location for travelling around. Local pubs within walking distance with excellent food options.
