Overview
Property code: OC-C32543

This chocolate-box cottage is in the picturesque village of Dedham, surrounded by the breathtaking countryside of the Dedham Vale National Landscape. Sleeping four guests and two furry friends, the property is ideal for small families and couples. The village is a fantastic base for walkers, with routes to explore along the River Stour and through the landscapes that inspired the likes of Constable and Gainsborough. For a day at the seaside, the paw-friendly resort of Felixstowe is 21 miles away.

This picture-postcard cottage is bursting with character and period features, and is decorated and furnished in a style to complement the property’s rich history. From the hallway, amble through to the welcoming lounge/diner, with its beamed ceiling and exposed brickwork. On chilly evenings, fire up the wood burner to create a cosy dozing spot for the woofers, and stretch out on the sofa with your favourite film on the Smart TV. To the rear of the room, nestled next to the window, is a wooden dining table for sharing mealtimes together. Just off the lounge/diner is a country-style kitchen for whipping up delicious feasts using fresh, local ingredients. A family bathroom completes the ground floor. Upstairs, two fabulous bedrooms await – a king-size and a double - both with calming decor and sumptuous linens for a restful night’s sleep. Please note, due to the period of the property, you may experience restricted head height in some areas. Outside, discover a tranquil, cottage garden with a choice of seating areas, as well as a BBQ, pizza oven, and firepit for al fresco dining. The garden is fully enclosed for your canine chums. There is a public car park 300 metres from the cottage.

Head out of your front door to explore the photogenic village of Dedham, with its fabulous Georgian architecture and timber-framed buildings. The cute high street is lined with independent shops, many of which welcome waggy-tailed visitors, and you’ll find several cosy pubs and tearooms within the village. For history enthusiasts, a trip to the Anglo-Saxon burial site of Sutton Hoo (24.5 miles) is a must. Other popular day trips include the riverside town of Mistley (5 miles) and the maritime town of Ipswich (11.5 miles).

Such a gorgeous cottage, full of history and beams. The garden is small, but the view is stunning, especially at 6am with the sun shining through the trees and the odd rabbit or deer, overlooking a pond and surrounded by trees. You have to park in car park, but distance wasnt that far. Take the beautiful scenic route through Dedham Hall entrance, pRead moreast the pond to car park, its quicker, with possible off lead area for your dog and comes out at the back of car park. Restaurants are all dog friendly. Explore the amazing fields across to Flatford/East Bergholt. Childrens playground and dog friendly green off the Royal Square. Remember to visit the Munnings art museum - beautiful art and lovely tea room in beautiful setting. I love Dedham and would certainly recommend. Hide

We really enjoyed our 7-night stay at Corner Cottage it was just right for us as a couple travelling with our dog. The cottage was comfortable and well-suited to a relaxing break. The village itself is lovely, with a great choice of pubs and cafs, and its very dog-friendly. One of the highlights was being able to head out on walks straight fromRead more the door without needing to drive, which made the stay especially easy and enjoyable. Parking was a slight inconvenience, as we werent able to pay for the car park for the full week in one go, so it required a bit of topping up. That said, it didnt detract from our overall experience. Wed highly recommend the walk to Flatford a real must-do while staying here. The Old Bakery Caf was particularly friendly and welcoming, and we found ourselves preferring The Sun Inn over The Marlborough for food and atmosphere. Overall, a really enjoyable stay in a charming location wed happily return. Hide

This cottage was comfortable enough but quite small there were only three of us and that was ample. The bathroom is very snug and steamed up but the towels were plentiful and of good quality.

The cottage was well appointed, characterful, clean and comfortable. It had charm and was well situated for all local walks. I did not come via car and found local buses, rail and hiking not to be a problem. The local co-op, tea-rooms and hotel restruarants are of good quality. I couldn't really fault my stay except for the few mentioned issues. FoRead morer those wondering, the rear is particually quiet and overlooks a wildlife meadow.

We had an amazing 4 night stay at the cottage 4 adults and our cocker spaniel, George and Cavapoo Sylvie. The cottage was so lovely and all rooms were perfect and very comfortable. The kitchen although bijou had everything we needed. Microwave and double airffryer, plenty of glassware, crockery and oven and electric hob. The weather was lovelyRead more so we made use of the BBQ in the back garden and had a lovely evening sitting under the festoon lights and around the fire pit. The cottage is so close, literally a couple of minutes walk from 2 amazing pubs The Sun Inn where we dined out on the Friday Evening on the terrace, 4 of us and dogs allowed. The staff were very friendly and the food and atmosphere was so enjoyable. We went to The Marlborough on the Saturday and had a lovely Pub lunch there.. The car park is only a 5 minute walk through a scenic footpath along a large pond where we spotted a Heron and numerous wildlife. Dedham is a lovely village and the location of the cottage couldnt be better. It reminds me of the Cottage in the film The Holiday so cute. We would definitely stay again. Hide

It's a lovely wee 500yr old cottage in a very busy village that's visited by many tourists for its river. They've locked down the whole area for parking so that was a bigger issue to me than I expected. I think this is very new to the renting market and the homework has not been done by the owners. Gorgeous place for a couple, but not for a familyRead more. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk- Thank you for your review. We can confirm that your feedback has been discussed with the Homeowner. As outlined in the travel instructions, there is parking close by and is located 400m from the property. Hide
