Experience an enchanting stay at this Suffolk woodland wonder. Sleeping five guests, and a canine companion, the magical, three-bedroom cottage is set at the heart of the King’s Forest near Bury St Edmunds. One of a pair of homes once lived in by estate workers, it still boasts a wealth of original charm, as well as tranquillity, country views and an abundance of wildlife. With a gorgeous open fire and a two-acre, lawned garden, it makes a gorgeous retreat at any time of year.
Return from your forest walks or cycle rides to light the open fire in the lounge and settle down with your books or in front of the Smart TV as the flames cast a cosy glow. Head through to the kitchen/diner to put clothing in the washing machine after muddy walks or to make a cup of tea to enjoy with the freshly baked Suffolk cakes you have bought in Bury St Edmunds. Make tasty meals to sit down to at the table in here or out in garden. Discover you also have a handy boot room, where you can leave walking boots and wellies, plus a family bathroom downstairs. Climb the steep, cottage-style stairs to enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep in the king-size bedroom, the single, or the double, which has an extra day bed. Spill out into the garden to play games with the children, watch your pet run around and look out for red deer and owls. There is parking for three cars.
Plan trips into Bury St Edmunds to wander the pretty shopping streets, dine out and see the cathedral and Abbey Gardens. Drive 13 miles to High Lodge at the heart of Thetford Forest. Here you can attempt a high rope course, hire bicycles and enjoy the many woodland play areas.
