Heavenly 16th century cottage in pretty rural village with great amenities - Swan's Nest

An enchanting 16th Century timber framed cottage in the heart of one of Suffolk’s best villages that proudly boasts the country’s oldest shop and garage, two pubs, a café, Post Office, wine shop and a family butcher. The cottage has been lovingly renovated to enhance and merge the original features with classic luxurious comfort and rural style. The terraced garden and raised look-out sitting room have picture perfect West facing views over beautifully manicured gardens, impressive church tower, Box River and woodland beyond. Swan’s Nest is the embodiment of traditional Suffolk village bliss.

This is a really cute place with everything we needed provided or available within one minute walk. The only reason for 4 stars was because we all found the beds uncomfortable. Otherwise great place.
