Blyth Cottage, Laxfield

.

"A very comfortable cottage in a delightful village. A really relaxing break in peaceful surroundings." William, Paula & Sarah Guterson, Hampshire, Sep 2010

A beautifully converted cottage, charmingly furnished and with wonderful views to the church. High-spec yet low key, antique with contemporary finish and comfort.

House style - Traditional Suffolk cottage, with spacious interior for four people. Stylish contemporary bathroom, relaxing first floor washroom and cosy Suffolk kitchen. Lovely large living room with log burning stove.

Grounds: A small rear patio garden with covered eating out area with table and chairs.

Ideal for: Anyone who wants to enjoy the very best of Suffolk. In the heart of this most attractive village you are within a few strides of one of England's very few tap room pubs - The King's Head (known by locals as The Low House). Join the locals in the snug where you can toast your toes and while away the hours with talk of Suffolk past. Adnams beers and excellent food.

Laxfield was once a thriving town with 26 shops, several pubs and a 500 year old Guildhall, now a fascinating museum tracing the lives of Suffolk's 19th and 20th century farming folk. The church is magnificent and there is an excellent general store. With lovely walks around, this is a village worth exploring.

Best beaches: The Suffolk coast is a half hour drive away, if you want busy and picturesque visit Southwold with its sandy beach and pier. If you are looking for wild go to Benacre Broad - a walk from the car but one well worth making. A little further south is Dunwich and of course Minsmere.

Best walks: There is an excellent network of walks around the village and across the countryside. Close to the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are wonderful woodland, heathland and cliff top walks with many opportunities for bird watching etc between Westleton and the coast.
