Description

A beautifully presented dog friendly Suffolk holiday home set in landscaped gardens on the banks of the river Deben.

The perfect romantic escape… this one bedroom cottage is a great option for a couple and their dogs. Interiors are contemporary and Scandi style with a central wood burning stove at the heart of the home, a great place to kick off your shoes and relax whatever the weather. Constructed of oak and glass with wide French doors and windows to one side, Akenfield has plenty of outside space with a lovely cottage garden extending to one third of an acre. Lawns lead down to the banks of the River Deben, home to otters, perch, kingfisher and owls. Why not borrow a rod from the owner and try your hand at fishing during your stay.  The gardens are perfect for alfresco dining too, a peaceful spot to fire up the barbeque and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the Suffolk countryside. 

This area is excellent for walking, cycling and exploring the local villages. Visit Framlingham with its impressive Castle, individual shops and bistros, and historical Woodbridge with its galleries, boutiques and excellent restaurants. Head to the Suffolk Heritage Coast, just a short drive away with great coastal walks and towns to explore along the way from Orford and Aldeburgh to Dunwich and Southwold.

Reviews

Very comfortable and relaxing to stay in with a lovely Dawn chorus and nice views of river. Every thing you could want for a relaxing break.

Mrs B,

This property is wonderful. The Cottage feels cosy and owners were very welcoming. The garden is amazing and full of wildlife with a river at the bottom where, weather permitting, owners allow use of rowing boat and life jacket.

Mr H,

The hosts were helpful and kind. The property was very clean and there were lots of hidden extras.

Mrs P,

Lovely place for a break we and our dog had a great time.

Mr W,

Most enjoyable week in Akenfield. Very peaceful and relaxing ( watching the rabbits) Thanks for the goodies on arrival

Simon and S,

A wonderful, relaxing cottage. Great location with good access to many of the local attractions. We especially loved the gardens and the loungers by the river. Very highly recommended and our dog (and us) can’t wait to go back.

Past Customer,

The pictures on the website do not to Akenfield Cottage justice! The cottage is absolutely stunning. On arrival we were met my the owner, very professional, very courteous, made our stay so enjoyable. The touches on arrival were superb, the best we have experienced. The attention to detail second to none. Truly outstanding. Thank you

Past Customer,

Happy with the accommodation but the only downside was that because it was a short stay the amount of time you could spend in the property was minimal.
