Part of the old Grove Farm it was originally the Winnowing Barn and dates back to the 1700?s Downstairs you can relax in the massive Kilim covered Knoll sofa enjoying the many original features of this stylish and very cosy cottage, features like the original Suffolk brick floor and the old millstones that are now used as the table and the hearth for the roaring log burning stove. Upstairs the roof is open to the beams and there are lovely views over the orchard into the sunset through the oak and glass wall which covers this side of the barn. This is the ideal place to come to and unwind because it is so gorgeous and cosy, once inside you won?t want to go out but if you do there are lovely walks all around and a rash of wonderful pubs and restaurants. The cycle route passes by the cottage and we supply bikes for free and you can even hire a canoe from us to explore the beautiful river Stour where Constable painted ?The Haywain?; probably England?s most famous landscape painting.

Surrounded by lovely Suffolk countryside, just 2 hours from London, our 6 very cosy cottages actually make up the old Grove Farm which is close to Lavenham; famous for being the best preserved medieval village in England. We are ideally situated for exploring the pretty villages of Suffolk and its coastline, or visiting London which is 50 minutes by train from the nearest mainline station. Despite being so close to London this area is very rural and until very recently rather inaccessible, this has helped preserve the lovely rural qualities and the tiny villages and hamlets that spread out across a spider?s web of barely chartered byroads and country lanes. These beautiful villages are one of the great attractions for visitors to Suffolk, often beautifully preserved in all their Medieval splendour and many containing a rich history of the early pilgrims to America, in this tiny hamlet of Edwardstone the first Governor of Massachusetts set off to America.

The Grove Cottages, which were formerly dairies, bakery?s and two farm workers cottages are built in a Monastic style ?double quadrangle?, the buildings all date back to the early 17 hundreds, when they serviced a long lost Mansion House. All cottages are all totally self contained and very private, having entrances from totally different sides; they sleep from 2 to 6 people and can be booked individually or together for larger groups of up to 15. All the cottages are fully equipped with farm house style kitchens. The comfortable bathrooms all feature modern double sized showers and all the beds have good orthopedic mattresses, feather duvets and only pure linen and finest cotton. Each cottage has a TV & DVD player as well as a Hi-Fi and CD system with a large selection of tapes, CD?s and books. We have a large Barn which is fitted out with a massive BBQ where groups that book all cottages can roast whole lambs and party into the night. We provide a ?Welcome Pack? with all the ingredients for a proper English breakfast: fresh locally produced organic eggs, locally famous Granary pat bread, butter, bacon, tomatoes, olive oil, fresh herbs, milk, real coffee and tea and the usual basics.

The Old Monkey is a small but a very cosy and romantic place to stay. It has every modern convenience but still retains masses of original charm and character.

 About Wheelers Cottage  (sleeping x3 plus sofa bed)

Nestling in a rural location between expansive fields in Naughton, Wheelers Cottage aims to meet the needs of the discerning guest. Don't be deceived by its rustic understated appearance - the attention to detail separates this cottage from others. This is not the usual holiday cottage attitude of 'any old thing will do', it's 'only the best will do.' The cottage decor is finished to a high specification, and every convenience has been thought of to help make your stay more enjoyable. Yet it's comfy, cosy, and not so 'posh' that you can't relax.

To help you get the most enjoyment out of your holiday, we also offer access to additional services: food shopping/cooking, house-keeping, reservations for restaurants/trips/craft courses, and 5* beach hut hire at Felixstowe plus much else for you to pick and choose from.

It matters to us that you have great time during your stay, so we will telephone you after arrival to check you are happy. At the end of your visit, we will send you a customer questionnaire for your valued feedback.
