Property code: OC-DGF

Dragonfly is a charming open plan self-catering barn-conversion with a wonderfully light and airy feel. Located in the beautiful Suffolk countryside, this self-catering holiday home is a relaxing retreat only a short distance from Halesworth. Southwold, Bungay and Beccles are within easy reach; Norwich, Ipswich, Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft are 25-30 miles distant. The Rumburgh Buck pub is a short 6 minute walk away.  Upstairs the bedrooms have an inviting tone with crisp white linen and period features; and the sunlight floods in. The open plan living space is fantastic for relaxing after a day exploring and the double doors by the dining table really bring the outside in. However, the champion of this property is the outside space; Dragonfly has a delightfully private garden with one area laid to lawn, a gravelled area with cosy bench, open cart lodge with outdoor seating area and wood burning stove, a large natural pond and a paved area with garden furniture.

Had a lovely 3 night stay in this beautiful cottage, it was just perfect. The owners were very welcoming and so friendly they introduced themselves to us when we arrived but gave us privacy during our stay. The cottage itself had everything you needed and the outside barn and log burner was an added bonus. The beds were really comfortable, everytRead morehing was so clean. It's a lovely area so idyllic and very quiet. We had a meal in the local pub about a 5 minute walk away, the food and service was amazing. Would definitely recommend booking this cottage. We cannot wait for our next visit Hide

We loved our stay at Dragonfly Cottage and throughly enjoyed our first time visiting the Suffolk coast. The location of the accommodation is set in a beautiful village. The outside space is what really sets it apart from other holiday rentals. We was lucky with weather and spent the majority of our time outside enjoying the garden. Our children lovRead moreed investigating the pond and even taking a little paddle on the boat. Our host was very friendly and welcoming and we would love to return one day. Hide

A nice spot for a couple or a small family for a night or two. The property isnt very spacious downstairs but plenty of room in the bedrooms upstairs. The outdoor fire area is a nice touch and kept us pretty sheltered despite the winds on New Years Eve!

We left a day early, nothing to do with the cottage, the weather has been so awful we decided to head home. I'm sure it's be wonderful in the summer.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this smallish country cottage. It has some unusual benefits, such as the outside covered sitting area, outlook over the pond and traditional decor; together with some 'quirky' features including the low beam across the landing. The position is convenient for access to Norwich and the Broads as well as the Suffolk coRead moreast, including Sutton Hoo and Minsmere, all about an hour away. The owners are next door and are very friendly and helpful. The only thing we missed was not visiting the local pub, which gets excellent reviews! Hide

A super location for a get away holiday. Wonderful wildlife within the grounds and a lovely cottage with well thought out touches by the owner, e.g. games for children, books, magazines and local naps for the adults. Very comfy beds and a very quiet location. Highly recommended.

We loved Dragonfly Cottage and its beautiful, quiet location. Magic! The owners are very helpful too. There is a low beam on the landing which you have to duck under and mind your head! Getting onto the lane from the driveway requires a team effort as the traffic shifts along it, but its fine if one person gets out to see the all clear.
