This beautiful holiday let overlooking a medieval moat offers a sense of history, with contemporary comfort and style. This dog-friendly holiday home is set in the grounds of Wattisham Hall and sleeps four guests, plus one four-legged companion. Ideal for a family or friends sharing, the spacious accommodation includes your own hot tub on the private, enclosed patio, with views across the moat. There is a large games room and an outdoor play park for young children, shared with other properties on site. The peaceful countryside beyond the moat has a wealth of footpaths, perfect for canine walkies.
The cottage is full of character, with exposed original beams throughout. Soft colour tones, tiled floors and wooden furniture complement the property’s country charm. In the bright, roomy, open-plan living area, French doors open to the patio. Comfortable seating with views of the moat, a cosy dining area and a neat kitchen make this a lovely, welcoming space. The light-filled bedrooms comprise a twin and a delightful, zip-and-link super-king-size, while a pretty family bathroom completes the layout. The patio is a great spot for relaxing, with the hot tub, garden furniture and a stone-built BBQ.
