A delightful, single-storey retreat, this property could be perfect for a small family or two couples on a Suffolk break together. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway nestles in the tranquil village of Bentley near the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Also known as Constable Country, for its connections to artist John Constable, this part of the world is renowned for its spectacular scenery and many walks. Head 4 miles to the National Trust’s Flatford Mill, the inspiration of many of the painter’s great works, then stroll out along the beautiful River Stour. Treat yourselves to a day out in bustling Ipswich, 7 miles away, with its many high street and independent shops, as well as various eateries.

Enter to find an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a stylish interior design and ample space to spread out into after your long walks. There is a wood burner in here to fire up on chilly days and comfortable seating to unwind on as you watch the Smart TV. The kitchen area has everything you need for whipping up tasty meals for your party and there is a table to dine at. The bedrooms at the cottage are both doubles, one with an en-suite shower room and the other enjoying sole use of the family bathroom.

We enjoyed a lovely week- The Old Bank House was perfect for us being all on the ground floor and with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms We were lucky to discover it and were able to park the car outside and thence drive to many of the Suffolk beauty spots

Lovely modernised cottage well situated for exploring both Suffolk and Essex. There is a friendly pub run by the village within walking distance. The drinks are half the price that you might pay elsewhere ! We really enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to rent the cottage again.

The cottage has been beautifully converted. It offers generous space and the rooms are perfect. It sits in a lovely, friendly location which has a community owned pub and village store. Close to main towns, some have Park and Ride too.

Account manager review - I visited The Old Post Office on 12th October and what can I say, I was so impressed with the level of cleaning and space the property had. You can really tell a lot of thought and love have gone into it. Feels homely as soon as you walk through the door. Having recently had a new photo shoot what you see is what you can abRead moresolutely expect. Huge benefit of having private parking. Great base to explore the local area. Flatford mill and Constable Country only 20 minutes away and Jimmy farm only 10 minutes away! Hide
