Unwind in front of the feature fireplace after a day exploring the local delights or snuggle up on the sofas to watch a great blockbuster.  The kitchen is fully equipped with all you could need during your self-catering stay and with two outside courtyards and BBQ, you can be enjoying a spot of al fresco dining in no time. 5 River Lane also offers accommodation for up to eight guests across 4 beautiful bedrooms with each room boasting lovely modern interiors with a comfortable and cosy feel.

Directly opposite this charming home is the Millennium Green which has plenty of footpaths, wildlife, woodlands and meadows to explore and best yet the dog can come too!  There are also playgrounds nearby for the children.

The small market town of Halesworth can be found north east of Suffolk, around ten miles inland from the heritage coast. Halesworth benefits from its own railway station with links to Ipswich, Norwich and London. At the centre of the town is The Thoroughfare, a shopping street lined with many Georgian and Victorian buildings and is completely pedestrianised, perfect for browsing boutiques at your leisure. Shops include bakeries, clothing, gifts, stationery and more. There are also many professional establishments in Halesworth which gives the town a bit of hustle and bustle each day. At one end of The Thoroughfare you’ll find the large library and just a few minutes’ walk from here is The Cut which is the town’s art centre with many shows, musicals, craft shows and more taking place throughout the year. Halesworth is a great destination for shopping, walking and cycling with rural villages surrounding the town waiting to be explored.

The cottage was excellent - clean and well equipped. The attic bedroom was especially attractive and had a large ensuite. The kitchen had everything we needed and lounge was comfortable and accommodated the six of us easily. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay.

Im originally from Halesworth so it was the location for our family. The cottage was like a home away from home. We will return here in the future.

In Halesworth for a Christmas reunion with extended family from far and wide, we had a fantastic time with our three adult children, a partner and 8 month old granddaughter. All home comforts provided in this cosy, beautifully decorated and well-equipped cottage - the Christmas decorations and welcome gifts were much appreciated too! Thank you.
