Ferieboliger i Wherstead

The Old Stables

On the Suffolk Essex border surrounded by fields, trees, and plenty of wildlife lies our old late 18th century stable building. Just 5 minutes off the A12 and you are in a different world. We live in the thatched Farm Cottage, the oldest part dating back to the 15th century and the stable is situated at the end of the drive. Excellent location for cycling (on the National Cycle Route 1), or visiting Jimmys Farm just 4.9 miles up the road. Walking is a must or just relax and unwind!

The Hideaway, Lark Cottage

The Hideaway is the perfect retreat from which to explore historic Pin Mill and the Shotley Peninsula, unwind with beautiful walks, bird watching and good food at the local pub or find a quiet workspace within a private garden surrounded by wildlife. The Hideaway is set across a private road from the main house and is 150m from the River Orwell. Walks in the AONB and National Trust-owned woods and heathland are on your doorstep. The Butt & Oyster pub is a few minutes walk away.

Willow Lodge, a most peaceful retreat

This is a perfectly cosy, self contained detached space in the county of Suffolk. It is a two mile distance from Ipswich train station and a few minutes stroll to parks and local amenities. There are lovely walks and cycle rides to surrounding villages and historic market towns like Colchester, Hadleigh, Kersey Lavenham and Woodbridge. The coast (Southwold, Walberswick, Aldeburgh, Frinton, Felixstowe, Clacton, and Lowestoft) are all a comfortable 30 - 45 minutes drive.

The Sunset Nook

The Sunset Nook is a heavenly hideout uniquely positioned for easy access to both Ipswich railway station (just 10 minutes away) and the entire Suffolk coast, including the popular small town of Woodbridge (named by The Times newspaper as one of the happiest towns in Britain). Here you will find the perfect bolt hole, whether you’re on your own for a business meeting in Ipswich or Colchester, or for a spontaneous romantic weekend away.

Idyllic house and gardens on estuary

A beautiful large farmhouse, dating from approximately 1600 and listed Grade II, in acres of idyllic gardens and overlooking a mile-wide river estuary. There is direct access from the bottom of the garden onto the ‘sea wall’ along the river, for walks and wonderful birdwatching. There is a duckpond (fenced) by the house and chickens (collect the eggs), and a large summerhouse with veranda in the garden, as well as a paddock of alpacas!

The Smithy's Cottage

Recently refurbished, the Smithy's Cottage configuration offers a quaint retreat in the Suffolk Coastal AONB. Freston Forge offers flexible accommodation for family and friends. The cottage configuration has 2 en-suite king size bedrooms, garden room, and all the original character features of a 17th century timber framed cottage. A great location for a variety of countryside walks, and award-winning pubs and attractions.
