Property code: OC-OBHF

A traditional thatched property tucked on the fringes of Finningham, your party of ten can celebrate in style and embrace all the comforts of a countryside escape. Countryside walks and scenic cycle rides are at your fingertips, and a short 1-mile walk will bring you to the nearest pub for a hearty supper. Excellent transport links mean you could soon be marvelling at the architecture of Lavenham (21 miles) or soaking up the retail therapy opportunities of Bury St Edmunds (16.5 miles). The spectacular coastline provides even more opportunities for adventure, whether you are tempted by the solitude of Dunwich 30 miles away or are drawn to the Nature Reserve at Orford (30 miles).

Step inside and prepare to relax, reclining in the spacious lounge with your favourite tipple and a good film on the TV. A digital detox is possible too - you’ll be well stocked with board games. Quality time together around the table is a must, and you’ll be able to rustle up extravagant meals in the thoughtfully equipped kitchen thanks to all the gadgets and accessories. There is a snug with additional comfortable seating and a TV for quiet time, but the dining room’s inglenook fireplace is a very special setting for after-dinner drinks. You will also discover a handy office if you need to catch up on work or study, plus a utility room and cloakroom for convenience. Set across the first and second floors are five bedrooms, each one finished with its own unique flair and crisp linen. The first floor is home to an elegant bathroom, and there is a shower room on the second floor too, offering a choice of washing facilities. The largest bedroom has an en-suite shower room for an extra treat.

Sunny afternoons call for drinks on the lawn and a BBQ whilst the children play, just take care to supervise them around the unfenced pond. There is a jetty and a rowing boat for your sole use, enabling a very different view of the house from the water.

We had a lovely Christmas week with 3 families sharing together. The house was warm & the kitchen has a large oven so cooking Christmas dinner was perfect. We visited Bury St Edmunds & Stowmarket & enjoyed Rolfes Butchers for all our delicious food.

We did love the house and grounds, the space was wonderful. The little lake was great with the boat and we had a paddleboard that was well used. We enjoyed watching the ducks. Excellent to have such capacious parking

A fabulously well appointed, characterful property for a large family gathering. The back garden is wonderful, especially the pond. The kitchen is particularly well stocked, we loved that the knives were sharp (a rare find). No detail is forgotten, be it games for children to the comfort of the adults. The beds are very comfortable and each room aRead more is a little haven. The fixtures and fitting are of excellent quality. We cannot thank the owner enough for their attention to detail and making it a perfect place for a family celebration. Hide

A beautiful thatched cottage with beamed rooms. We had a 6' 4' person with us who had to duck a lot but managed ok. Views stunning and the children enjoyed rowing on the lake carefully supervised by adults. Plenty of space to play outside games and a multitude of walks available. Having the snug and large lounge enabled the teenagers to have their Read moreown space. Having bedding supplied with the cot was a real bonus. We had a special request just before arrival and this was sympathetically dealt with. Thank you. We had a lovely week even though the weather was not in it side! Hide

We used the property to celebrate my mum's 60th birthday and my 40th all together. We absolutely loved it! It's charming, rustic, yet comfortable and with everything we needed. It gave us memorable times.
