Situated a ten-minute bike ride from tiny Kersey, widely regarded as Suffolk’s prettiest village, this 17th-century farm worker’s cottage is steeped in history and charm. Inside, it’s a homespun delight with terracotta floors, original timber beams, reclaimed wood and quaint floral bedspreads. Whip up breakfast in the rustic kitchen, before finding a quiet spot to relax in the blooming gardens. If the weather takes a turn, dart back to your abode to kick off your wellies and dry your pooch’s muddy paws in the utility room. Cosy up by the wood-burning fire with a hot mug of tea and slice of homemade cake from a local farm shop. When you’re ready to explore the Suffolk countryside proper, take to the surrounding bridleways by foot or by bicycle. If you’re in the mood for some hustle and bustle, Ipswich is a thirty-minute drive away.

About Hadleigh
This ancient market town is nestled in Constable Country – a beautiful area of Suffolk that inspired the 18th-century artist’s most famous works. Hadleigh itself is packed full of character, with historic buildings and independent shops aplenty. Sandwiched between Sudbury and Ipswich, it may not be as well-known as its more prominent neighbours, but with its mixed architecture and picturesque valley setting, this quieter area still has lots to offer....
