Old School House, Tunstall

\"Staying at the School House is like \'home from home\' the first time we have ever experienced this in a holiday cottage. Such warm hospitality, very thoughtful and so appreciated.\"

Old School House, Tunstall, is a fascinating conversion of the old village school to create a really spacious and comfortable holiday cottage in the heart of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Built in the 1800s the Old School House has been imaginatively converted to create stunning holiday accommodation in the peaceful village of Tunstall. An extremely spacious and comfortable cottage with a really cosy feel and views over the surrounding countryside. A great cottage from which to enjoy the delights of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Snape 2.8 miles, Orford 5 miles, Aldeburgh 8 miles, Woodbridge 10 miles

In the heart of The Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Old School House is in the quiet little village of Tunstall, just a couple of miles from Snape with its internationally renowned Snape Maltings Concert Hall overlooking the Alde Estuary.

The Snape Concert Hall is part of the Snape Maltings complex which has craft and art shops, a Suffolk pub with restaurant, tea rooms and lovely walks along the River Alde.

With Tunstall and Rendlesham Forests just minutes away this is a great base for walkers and cyclists and anyone visiting the Heritage coast at Aldeburgh and Thorpeness.

Orford with its fine restaurants and trips to RSPB Havergate Island and Orford Ness (National Trust) is just five miles away. Minsmere, one of the most famous RSPB reserved and the fascinating lost city of Dunwich - now a tiny village are well worth a visit, as is Walberswick and Southwold.

The other half of the old school ( entrances are quite separate) is occupied by the owners who are on hand if needed.
