This traditional cottage sleeps two people in comfort and offers the perfect cosy retreat and ideal setting for couples seeking a relaxing holiday or a romantic break. This hideaway is ideal for short breaks and is perfect as a base for touring the picturesque Suffolk coastal area from the market town ofSaxmundham.

A gorgeous haven for couples, it is a wonderful holiday base throughout the year, with coast, countryside, culture & food on the doorstep. Days at the beach, sailing, walking, golfing, fishing, bird-watching, relaxing galore!

This lovely Victorian stable's cottage is in the heart of Saxmundham on a quiet street, 100 yards from Saxmundham train station and 200 yards from Saxmundham high street. Stable cottage is a lovely cosy cottage, full of character and exceptionally comfortable, clean and well-equipped, including the use of unlimited Wi-Fi and super fast broadband.

Stable cottage is close to an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, characterful pubs, excellent art galleries and a museum. The cottage is also a few paces from one of the best fish and chip shop in Suffolk.

There are excellent restaurants just a couple of minutes walk away. As you step out of the cottage door there is a beautiful sunny courtyard facing a lovely church in one direction, and the high street just yards away the other way. Despite the perfect location, the cottage is delightfully peaceful.

There is also public parking just outside the cottage.

This beautiful Victorian stable, that was once fully functioning has been tastefully renovated and converted into a comfortable 1 bedroom cottage sleeping 2 people. The cottage has been re-furbished in a light but luxurious style and has been brought into the 21st century, with contemporary kitchen and bathroom and very comfy furnishings.

On the ground floor it has a lovely cosy living room and dining space with a well-equipped kitchen. There is a beautiful sunny courtyard with outside furniture too. On the first floor it has a master bedroom, which is spacious and peaceful with a solid wood frame double bed and superior quality mattress, covered with natural linen. There is also a lovely light and airy shower room with all the essentials.

Stable cottage retains its original period features throughout but is very light and airy with every modern comfort and furnished to a very high standard. We provide complimentary toiletries and essential pantry items such as coffee, tea, sugar, biscuits, salt and pepper. We also provide household essentials such as washing up liquid, cling film wrap, foil paper and cleaning products.

    The cottage was cosy, ideal for the 2 of us for 3 nights. Not a huge fan of Saxmundham, but loved Suffolk. Visited Orford, Rendlesham Forest, Aldeburgh - beautiful places.

    We enjoyed our stay in Saxmundham and found the cottage comfortable and generally well equipped (although there was no ice cube tray in the freezer). The location was very handy for the town with excellent restaurants and supermarkets. However, the description of the property obviously raised our expectations too high. Unfortunately, the courtyard in front of the cottage was largely filled with a substantial gazebo which obliterated any view and made access to the property difficult. Whilst we only met Tim twice, once on our arrival, he was very pleasant and the family was unobtrusive even though windows from the main house overlook the courtyard. It was obvious that the courtyard was used as a family space when guests were not in residence.

    Lovely and clean with pretty courtyard and well equipped compact kitchen. One or two points to pass onto owner - quick response back.

    We enjoyed our stay in Stable Cottage for 3 nights recently which we booked at very short notice due to a change in plans. It is quiet and comfortable and well located being a relatively short drive to the sea. Tim and Lucy were very welcoming. We would definitely stay again should we be looking for a short break in Suffolk.

    Owners were very welcoming. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Lots of thought and attention to detail has gone into making this cottage a great place to stay. Location was ideal to tour the Suffolk coast and a short walk away from shops and Bell Inn - great food at reasonable prices, in Saxmundham.

    Ideal for a couple as a base to visit Bury St Edmunds, Aldeburgh and Thorpeness areas. Comfortable, well equipped, quiet and good shops close by. Lovely welcome from owners Tim and Lucy.

    This lovely 2 bedroom cottage is perfect for a romantic get away! It is perfectally located near the sea and within walking distance from some lovely restaurants, a nice pub and a fantastic fish a chip shop! I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone wanting a few days (or even a week away) and we will surely be returning at some point in the future!

    Lucy and Tim are incredible hosts and welcomed us with open arms. We had a wonderful stay here and didn't want to leave. We had cake, bread and milk left for us which was very welcome.They ensured that our stay was comfortable and for everything to help us find lifts to and from the Snape concert hall. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to relax or work! It is simply fantastic! Can't fault or think of anything to improve!

    Stable Cottage is a sweet little compact 1 bedroomed cottage. In my view, a better option than a hotel room of similar cost. Owners Tim and Lucy live in the attached larger property and are a delight. Welcoming and helpful. Private entry with a padlocked gate and if the weather is good a pretty courtyard to sit in offers space and privacy. Basically equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting room with a sofa, WIFI, TV and I-POD docking station mean that if you do want to relax, watch TV, film or listen to you own music you can. Good double bed and separate shower upstairs. Tim and Lucy are very responsive to problems and clearly want their guests to enjoy their stay. The cottage is in a great position. You can park outside or near the cottage. Restaurants, pubs, and shops all within very short walking distance. A good base for exploring as has already been extensively mentioned by others.We ate in the Bell one evening and the food was good quality, fresh and generous portions. Highly recommend! The Trinity cafe does good coffee and massive breakfasts if you need it. Loved it - and our feedback to the owners about minor,( but a bit inconvenient) and easily fixed things has already been dealt with. With these amendments I would increase my review to 5 stars.

    Tim and Lucy were there to greet us when we arrived. Stable cottage is the perfect idyllic hideaway in a lovely part of the country. Clean, warm and cozy and a great place from which to explore.The cottage had everything we needed for a quiet getaway in the countryside and is well located to visit various places in Suffolk; we went to Snape Maltings, Orford and Aldeburgh all within10 minutes of Saxmundham. Highly recommended. Thanks Tim and Lucy
