Luxury chocolate box cottage, hot tub and pizza oven in private courtyard garden

A luxury chocolate box cottage with wood burning fireplace, and a covered private hot tub and pizza oven within an enclosed pretty courtyard garden, perfect for couples, friends and families exploring Suffolk and nearby Norfolk.

Your cottage, which welcomes your pet dogs too at a small supplement, is set within the heart of the village near willow trees and a river, set within a pretty conservation area.

There are two historic pubs in the village of Walsham Le Willows to enjoy, The Blue Boar restaurant and inn, first recorded as brewing and selling ale in 1360, and The Six Bells, first recorded selling ale to villagers in 1423.

A fine foods village shop trading for 130 years sells high quality locally sourced foods too, fresh bread daily, homemade pies cooked each morning, and seasonal goodies, meats and game. Plus there are wines and spirits, fresh vegetables, and essentials with a personal, old world service long gone in many places. Paul Hubbard has been working in the village shop he now runs with his team since he was 13-years-old.

Both the village pubs and the shop are just a short walk from your holiday cottage, which is within the heart of Walsham Le Willows.

There is a nearby coffee shop open once a week next to the village hall and bowling green, a mobile post office visiting weekly, and a large network of walks to enjoy too with or without your dog.

Vine Cottage has one allocated parking off-road space for our guests, with plenty of additional unrestricted parking on the village street next to your cottage too if you are coming in more than one car with friends or a larger family.

The award winning Wyken Vineyards, only four miles away, has the Leaping Hare restaurant and country store on a 1,200 acre farm. Housed in a medieval barn, it tells the story from Suffolk farm, English vineyard, garden and plate.

Vegans and vegetarians are well catered for at the specialist The Walnut Tree inn, at Thwaite, about a 20 minute drive too.

Historic Bury St Edmunds, with a Bannatyne spa including swimming pool and restaurant with day passes available, history including a ruined abbey and pitch and putt, market and lots to see too, is just 12 miles away.
The genteel Suffolk coastal towns of Aldeburgh, 35 miles, and Southwold, 38 miles, are perfect for a day out by the sea.

The space:
Vine Cottage is a delightful old property with exposed beams throughout and a wealth of character and charm, brought up to modern standards with new central heating throughout and modern insulation too.

Your cottage, which welcomes well behaved dogs or other pets for a £23 a night supplement, has a lovely secure private courtyard garden where there is a 4 seater hot tub. The hot tub will be all ready for you on your arrival and can be enjoyed privately anytime between the hours of 08:00 and 22:00.

This is a peaceful rural area and we please ask you to be respectful of our neighbours and ensure they are not disturbed by any noise between 22:00 and 08:00, from inside your holiday home, or from your holiday cottage garden. The hot tub switches off automatically at 22:00 and reactivates at 08:00. There is a surcharge of £99 if the hot tub is activated outside of these hours, and it will be remotely switched off.

Comfortable garden furniture is ready for you, table and chairs, and a gas fired BBQ complete the inviting area.

For romantic breaks and special occasions, why not ask us to have a chilled bottle of Italian Prosecco ready for your loved one? We can also put anniversary or birthday banners in the cottage. Please do ask us about these extra surprises if you are booking for an extra special stay.
