four 17th century holiday cottages set in the waveney valley

Four Self catering Holiday cottages, situated in the Waveney valley between the market towns of Diss and Harleston on the Suffolk Norfolk Borders, and ideal base for touring both counties. The Suffolk coast, old seaside town of Southwold, bird reserve at Minsmere, are within easy reach. Bury St Edmunds and abbey gardens, Norwich City and Cathedral, Bressingham gardens, Flixton air museum, Banham Zoo, just a few of the local attractions.

The cottages date back to the 17th Century,are grade 2 listed, and once part of an old coaching inn and ale house, we renovated the cottages several years ago, and have retained that old worlde charm with beams,inglenooks, and many of the original features.
The cottages are all well furnished and comfortable,and all are very well equidded, cleaned and maintained by ourselves. We aim to make them more like homes, not just holiday cottages.

Over 2 acres of garden and woodland lead down to the banks of the river waveney, fishing is available in season. You can walk amongst the trees that we have planted over the years making a wildlife wonderland; springtime is especially a beautiful time, when you can see the snow drops, daffodil and bluebells amongst the woodland.
You can sit back relax and enjoy the Swans, Ducks, Kingfishers, Heron, woodpeckers,Barn owls that are becoming morecommon in the waveney valley , if your lucky and sit long enough you may even see the Otters that have been released over the past few years by the Earsham otter trust, or just enjoy feeding the fish, and watch them jump.
On warm sunny days it's wonderful to picnic, and catch the cool breeze.
