Set on the edge of Acton, this beautifully styled single-storey retreat boasts a hot tub and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, making it a fantastic countryside escape for families, friends and their four-legged companions. Complete with a safely enclosed garden, the cottage is well placed for discovering Suffolk’s charming villages, historic houses and scenic walking routes with your faithful hound by your side.
Inside, the open-plan living area is flooded with natural light thanks to huge glass doors opening onto the garden during warmer months. There’s plenty of room for everyone to gather, including your canine friend stretched out nearby. The sleek white kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for group stays, whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast before heading out or cooking with fresh local produce picked up during your adventures. Plush sofas and a Smart TV create a welcoming spot for film nights and slow mornings alike. A utility area with a washing machine and tumble dryer is especially handy for muddy boots, towels and drying off paws after rural rambles. There’s also a games room off the hallway, complete with a multi-use games table for friendly competition on rainy days. The cottage has four stylish bedrooms – three king-size rooms and one twin. One bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom, while two others have en-suite shower rooms. A spacious family wet room with accessibility features completes the accommodation. Outside, the generous enclosed gardens are a real highlight for guests travelling with a furry sidekick, providing plenty of room for children and pups to play. There’s a play area, outdoor seating for al fresco meals, and a bubbling hot tub for evenings spent stargazing. Private parking for four cars is included, along with an EV charging point.
