Set in the quiet village of Friston with a welcoming pub just around the corner, this delightful property makes a fantastic base for keen walkers and nature lovers exploring a wonderful part of the Suffolk countryside. The small seaside town of Aldeburgh is 4 miles away, with its beach and fishing boats as well as galleries and venues associated with the Aldeburgh Festival. Snape is 2 miles to the south, home of Snape Maltings concert hall and the Snape Marshes. Just 5 miles away is Thorpeness, a purpose-built holiday village developed in the 1920s where you will find a country club, golf course, hut-lined beach and The Meare, a popular boating lake where you can go rowing, canoeing and kayaking.

We had a fantastic week. This cottage is a terrific base for exploring Suffolk, with loads of great day trips within easy reach. There was plenty of space for a family of four plus a Labrador. We especially enjoyed spending time in the garden in the fine weather. We made use of the smart TV and the board games. We had no noise whatsoever from the pRead moreub or the neighbours. The parking space is very close and secure - better than we expected from the description. Overall a fantastic stay. Hide

1 Chequers Row cottage felt like home with everything you need for a successful holiday. It was clean, comfortable and nicely situated to explore this part of Suffolk. Minsmere Nature Reserve was a full day of joy, Orford Castle a must and Snape Maltings is not far away. There are plenty of shorter or longer walks in the area and more places to viRead moresit further afield. Old Chequers Inn is around the corner for a drink or meal after days out. We took away memories of a wonderful week in Friston. Eric and Ellen, West Yorkshire Hide

A lovely cottage in a very pretty location. The pub opposite served excellent good and were very friendly. Just be aware that the floorboards upstairs are very creaky but that just seemed to add to the charm of the cottage. Excellent location for exploring and some lovely walks on the doorstep.

No 1 is an easy to live in cottage in a great location behind the Old Chequers pub and minutes from Aldeburgh and Snape and close access to the main road. The heating was super efficient and easy to use with plenty of hot water. The wifi works really well and so does the TV with Netflix etc. Really enjoyed our stay/

The cottage is located in a very pleasant village and is next door to the very good local pub serving excellent food. The beautiful town of Aldeburgh is only 5 miles away and there are also many other attractions locally to visit. The facilities in the cottage let it down to a degree and I would hope that the owner takes note of our feedback.

1 Chequers Row in Friston is a comfortable and relaxing holiday cottage with an enclosed dog friendly garden. There is also good private parking with allocated spaces near the property with room to stop directly outside, ideal for unloading... The village pub offers excellent food and is highly recommended! There are several marked footpaths arounRead mored the village which are great for dog walking. Saxmundham has two large supermarkets, nearby Aldeburgh is absolutely charming as is Southwold. So many other lovely places to visit and we (dog included) look forward to staying again. Hide
