Nestled in the serene village of Hepworth, this charming holiday retreat sits amidst the wonderful rural scenery of Suffolk. It's an ideal base for those keen to explore nearby Bury St. Edmunds (13 miles), Thetford Forest (10 miles) and local historic attractions. Bury St. Edmunds is renowned for its quaint streets and array of attractions including a cathedral, abbey, theatre, and a brewery offering tours, an ideal spot for dining out or shopping. You can also discover the rich history of nearby National Trust gems such as Ickworth House (17 miles), or venture slightly further to explore the English Heritage castle at Framlingham (25 miles). Enjoy forest walks and outdoor play areas at Thetford Forest. Southwold on the  Suffolk coast is just over an hour’s drive away (39.5 miles).

Upon entering this delightful single-level property, guests are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall, exuding character and charm, offering ample space for coats and shoes. Proceeding through, you'll find yourself in a bright and airy open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, serving as the perfect hub for relaxation and socialising. The lounge area features a comfortable sofa and armchair set around a cosy wood burner, ideal for chilly winter evenings, while entertainment is at hand with two Smart TVs, one in the kitchen/lounge area and another conveniently placed in the dining area. The well-equipped kitchen boasts high-quality modern appliances and offers stunning views overlooking the pond and countryside. The dining area, bathed in natural light from an orangery roof lantern, offers a spacious setting for evening meals or family board games. When it's time to retire for the night, a lovely super king-size bedroom awaits, complete with storage and an en-suite shower room with WC for added convenience. The second king-size bedroom boasts ample storage, and the family bathroom provides both a bath and a large walk-in shower with WC for ultimate relaxation.

Step outside to find a generously sized decked area adorned with a table and chairs and a hot tub, ideal for unwinding and soaking in the countryside views beyond the picturesque pond, which is brimming with fish. It’s the perfect spot to relax and reconnect with nature. If the mood takes you, enjoy a leisurely stroll through the nearby countryside or reserves.

Lovely property, kind helpful owner. But possibly not quite suitable for elderly technophobes, as we had trouble with the TVs. Also shorter less mobile people may not realise quite how high the high beds are, though these are very comfortable once you climb in. Wed recommend Tillys to anyone else.

Immaculate, comfortable and beautifully equipped property with everything we possibly could have needed, and a very pretty view over the pond outside. Lovely and peaceful location while in easy reach of lots of places, and the whole area is very dog friendly including the town centre of Bury St Edmunds. We chose this property particularly for its aRead moreccessibility and being all on one floor as both of us are independently mobile but have mobility issues, and it was ideal. Spacious with easy parking, including directly outside the door. We particularly enjoyed the wood burner on cooler evenings and the hot tub, and appreciated the thoughtful list of suggested local places to eat that was sent by the host before we arrived. One of the most relaxing holidays we've had in a while. Hide

I cant praise Tillys enough! Drew was extremely helpful and informative, providing local dog friendly pubs and in-depth tutorials on how to work the hot tub and fire. The location is perfect and the cottage itself is stunning. It was the perfect accommodation for a lovely weekend getaway, the cottage itself has a lovely open space dining/lounge andRead more kitchen area for everyone and your pets to spend time together. My friends and I have already expressed a desire to go back and I have no doubly we will likely make many visits in the future. Hide
