Entire home/flat
4 guests
2 bedrooms
3 beds
2 baths The cottage was completed in 2007 to a very high specification and offers a blend of flexible open-plan living, yet has a cosy cottage feel. The cottage is light and spacious throughout. You walk into the entrance hall / kitchen / dining area and wet room on the right with French doors leading out to the rear. This area links wonderfully well with the sitting room to the left where there is a brick fireplace with an eco wood burner, with doors leading out to the back. The kitchen leads into a separate utility, with an indoor clothes airer / boot room with its own entrance (at the front of the cottage).
The ground floor is marble and engineered oak, with underfloor heating throughout. There are radiators on the first floor.
The oak staircase leads to a spacious first-floor landing area where you can enjoy the views and the horses frolicking in the fields.
There are 2 double bedrooms and a shared family bathroom. By default, the beds will be made up as 1 x double beds and 2 x single beds. Both bedrooms contain zip and link beds, so the house can also be made up as 4 x singles (2ft.6) or 2 x doubles (kingsize).
Each bed is hotel-quality and carefully chosen for exceptional comfort, dressed in luxurious French linen sheets for a beautifully soft, breathable feel and the ultimate night’s sleep
Please let us know at the point of booking if you require any other bed configurations than the default.
Outside there is a generous shingled parking area large enough for 2 cars. The cottage has a south-facing garden to the rear that overlooks the gently undulating countryside beyond, and neighbouring paddocks and pastureland. Although the cottage is dog friendly, the garden is not enclosed, so is not secure for dogs off lead. There is a teak table and 4 chairs.
Shared with No 2, there is also the former school playing field to the west side if the cottage that you have use of during your stay. This field is not fully enclosed
Should you wish to work whilst staying at the cottage, there is super fast wifi which can handle multiple devices at the same time.
The cottage is just a 10-minute drive from a number of popular wedding venues and is therefore equipped with a steam iron and ironing board, a full-length mirror and generous clothes hanging space.
Extremely lovely place to stay surrounded by beautiful countryside. We had a wonderful time on our holiday and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Suffolk area. The hosts were very accommodating and the welcome package was delicious, thank you very much for having us.
2 adults, 2 teenagers and a Lhasa Apso, had a wonderful 3 night stay. Everything was perfectly clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. The double bed was more comfy than my bed. The cotton Linen was a luxury. We loved our welcome basket, especially the plums and honey, thank you. We did have to keep the doors shut to the garden to stop the bees coming in, but that's to be expected in the summer. The bathroom upstairs got incredibly hot, again to be expected. We would definetly book again 10/10 thank you.
Lovely cottage, although a little isolated. Best equipped airbnb I have ever stayed in. Lovely welcome basket. Very homely.
A lovely peaceful cottage with some lovely walks for us and our Dog. Plenty of space for us and our Dog too, inside and out. The cupboards were well stocked which was a nice touch, as well as the bottle of wine and biscuits upon arrival. Very comfortable and clean.
The home was very nice and had amazing views in the rear with the neighbors horses! it was a quick 5 minute drive to the nearest town for shopping and restaurants. As we stayed during summer and the home is out in the country, we did experience a few bugs entering the home, but that's expected. The only downside was there was a large beehive right next to the master bedroom window so we were not able to open the window in that room which made it quite hot and uncomfortable at night. The host left is a nice welcome basket with Wisset Honey which was very thoughtful and fit the theme. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Me and my husband stayed here for our mini-moon and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay. The Old School house was spacious and the views were amazing. We will definitely be returning!
Lovely house, responsive and helpful hosts. Unfortunately there was a lot of noise during our stay - someone building a fence in the garden (not sure if this was the property or the neighbours) all day, and then a very loud mower going round at 9am bank holiday Monday. Otherwise a very nice stay, with thoughtful gift basket left for us.
Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location. The cottage was lovely and clean and so peaceful. Would definitely recommend
Lovely spacious cottage - perfect size for our family of four and our dog. Views are lovely. Cottage has everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Very clean and well maintained. Recommend Southwold, Aldeburgh (and the walk to Thorpeness). We also loved Dunwich Heath and Walberswick. It’s a great base to visit all these places.

This was one of the best places that we have stayed in. The house is cleverly designed to fit in with the school house next door but is much larger than it seems on arrival. It was very clean and tidy with a wonderful welcome of flowers, honey and biscuits. The beds are very comfortable and cosy. We most appreciated the location; peace and quiet whilst being close to interesting towns and coastal areas. Highly reccomended.
