Property code: OC-T30056

This delightful home-away-from-home, overlooking a historic market square, is ideal for small families, couples, and their four-legged friends seeking to explore Suffolk’s stunning countryside. Set in the heart of Lavenham, one of the UK’s most charming and well-preserved medieval villages, this two-bedroom home comes complete with a warming flame effect fire in the cosy lounge and a safely enclosed patio garden for curious canines to explore.

Step inside this inviting cottage and be greeted by a blend of historic charm and modern comforts. The welcoming lounge/diner serves as the hub of the home, where you can relax on comfortable sofas after a day of exploration. On chilly days, warm up by the flame-effect electric fire set in an ornamental fireplace, and watch your favourite shows on the Smart TV while Rover basks in the heat. When hunger strikes, set the dining table and move through to the farmhouse-style kitchen equipped with everything you need to whip up a meal. When night falls, retreat upstairs to one of two lovely bedrooms, a king-size and a double, both sharing a well-appointed family bathroom. Outside, enjoy the patio garden – a perfect space to unwind with your pup, sip your morning coffee, or savour al fresco meals. There’s roadside parking nearby, subject to availability.

The location is perfect for strolls with your furry companion along the village’s winding streets, lined with quaint houses, independent shops, and dog-friendly cafes. Immerse yourself in history and visit Lavenham’s impressive 14th-century church. For more countryside charm, head to nearby Long Melford (5 miles), where you and your furry sidekick can wander the grounds of the magnificent Melford Hall. History hounds can venture to the market town of Bury St Edmunds (12 miles) to admire its cathedral and the beautifully kept Abbey Gardens, while avid hikers will appreciate the scenic routes of the Dedham Vale National Landscape (8 miles), perfect for a long walk with your tail-wagging companion.

Lovely cottage in the heart of the village, we were taken back by the location then when we entered the cottage it was superb, very clean and comfortable. There was a lovely touch with the welcome pack which came in very handy. Lavenham is wonderful village and from the cottage you can have some great walks, will certainly look to visit again.

A very comfortable cottage in probably the most scenic part of the village. Spectacular views of the Guildhall from the rooms facing the Market. Definitely hope to return.

Beautiful cottage in a perfect location of the beautiful Lavenham village. Would definitely stay here again but needs a better WiFi package as it is so slow you wouldn't be able to work from here if needed too.

Well-presented and well-quipped traditional (yet renovated) old cottage in a perfect location opening onto the market place in Lavenham. It's warm and cosy and was lovely and clean on arrival.

We arrived at the same time as the switch-on to the accompaniment of mulled wine, mince pies, a brass band and Santa. Very seasonal! Can highly recommend this property. Hide

A lovely cottage in the perfect location on the market place. This is not a cottage for anyone much over 5ft6 but it's full of charm and original features. The kitchen is well-equipped and the living room is comfortable for nights in. It would be a squeeze to get four people round the kitchen table, but great for two. Lovely welcome pack means you Read morecan have a cup of tea and biscuits when you arrive. There are plenty of great places to eat, just a few steps from the cottage. And not one, but two Co-ops. Don't miss the book shop, art gallery, and ice cream parlour. And, if you take your four-legged friend, visit the dog shop for some handmade treats! Hide

The shower was fabulous & the automatic night light. Such a good position! Unfortunately my husband and son kept hitting their heads on the low doorways(not your fault they are so tall). Because my husband had a bleeding head quite often he wouldnt stay here again but otherwise it met all our needs. We wood recommend it to shorter friends .

A well equipped cottage overlooking the stunning market square in lavenham. This truly felt like a gem and the location is excellent. Everything had recently been redecorated and you can tell, the finish is fantastic. The courtyard is stunning and I can imagine would be a great addition especially in summer months. You are right in the centre of laRead morevenham and can easily get to amenities, pubs etc. Parking was easy and overall it was a pleasure to stay here. Nick was very helpful and responsive too. I would not hesitate to recommend Tailors cottage. Hide
