Escape to the countryside and enjoy the simple life staying in this stylish, converted and cosy self catering cottage in the beautiful Waveney Valley, Suffolk. Sleeping 6, this pretty property retains a wealth of original features, vaulted ceilings, and a traditional wood burning stove making it the ideal retreat for families, friends and couples. The open plan living area is perfect for relaxing on the comfy sofas with a glass of wine after dinner. Sit and watch the sun go down after a busy day on your own private enclosed patio complete with table, chairs, parasol and wooden loungers, this really is the perfect place to recharge and relax. A complete haven for animal lovers.
The cottage is all on one level with plenty of room for six guests in three bedrooms, one of which is suitable for disabled guests including an adapted wet room. The raindrop shower, Lavazza coffee maker and welcome pack are just some of the wonderful extras this property comes with. There is also use of an enclosed garden for the children, complete with a swing, swing boat, trampoline and a summer house.
Shepherd’s Watch is on a working farm so a must for animal lovers! Children will love to learn about the animals and they can even help out with bottle feeding the lambs, collecting eggs and watching the sheep shearing. Whatever the season there’s always something going on: from the lambing in January and February, calving in the spring to the swallows nesting in the barns and kingfishers on the moat, hares in the fields and barn owls in the woods, this is a haven for wildlife!
