Property code: OC-94016

The charming cottage is in the picturesque village of Dedham, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Sleeping six guests and two furry chums, the cottage makes a great base for large families and groups of friends, with a sociable, open-plan layout and space for outdoor dining. Enjoy relaxing dog walks along the River Stour directly from the property, or head to the coast to explore the seaside resort of Felixstowe (21.5 miles).

The redbrick cottage enjoys a quiet location on a no-through lane. Inside, you’ll find a chic holiday home with a stylish, monochrome interior. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the ideal place to relax after a day of adventure with the hounds and boasts hard floors and ample space for the dog beds. Stretch out on the sofa to watch a movie on the Smart TV, whip up tasty treats in the sleek kitchen area, and share family mealtimes at the table by the window. The three elegant bedrooms are upstairs, one of which has an en-suite shower room. Completing the accommodation is a family bathroom. Outside, relax in the attractive courtyard garden, sipping a sundowner or sharing a BBQ.

Take a stroll with the pups around the village, admiring the Georgian architecture and timber-framed buildings, before nipping into one of the cosy pubs or tearooms for a bite to eat and a dog chew. Beautiful walks branch away from the village, following the River Stour, allowing you to explore the landscape that inspired John Constable. History enthusiasts can enjoy a dog walk around the fascinating grounds of Orford or Framlingham Castle (both just over 30 miles), or a visit to the Anglo-Saxon burial site at Sutton Hoo (24 miles).

Great location in a central location in the village yet a quiet cul-de-sac. Tastefully decorated with style.

Lovely house with all amenities you could ask for. Prettily decorated. Great to have parking and a central location. Shame there isnt a double bed inthe room with the en-suite but I can see it would be difficult to fit in.

A lovely cottage that suited our needs well during a stay to visit extended family members in the area. We had three generations in our family group and all were happy with the accommodation and facilities. Dedham is a lovely village and my husband's family lived there in previous centuries, which was an added point of interest. Bakers Cottage willRead more definitely be on our shortlist for future visits to the area. Hide

An immaculate property, well looked after with excellent facilites. Situated in the centre of Dedham but with that rural feel made it ideal for local shopping and eating out. Really nice countryside and a very nice walk to Flatford Mill alongside the River Stour. There is only one allocated parking spot but other parking available in the village. DRead moreog owners need to be aware that the property is not dog secure. However, I would have no hesitation in staying at the property again. Hide

We have just had an excellent week at the cottage. Very well equipped with everything, lovely fluffy towels and comfortable beds. The property is so central in Dedham, short walk to the pubs and shops and nice caf for breakfast at the top of the lane. Nice walks within easy reach of the cottage to the river and Flatford Mill. We had 2 cars between Read moreus and parked in the designated spot at the side and in the arch with no problem. Nice sunny garden area to enjoy for lunch or a drink. Hide
