Swallows Rest Suffolk

Find pure peace and tranquillity in the idyllic Suffolk countryside and farmland that surround this picturesque bolthole that's ideal for a romantic couple's retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Beneath the rustic wood cladding, you'll find a haven of country cottage charm in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that's brimming with characterful features including a sloping ceiling, roaring wood burner and contemporary farmhouse touches; the warming ambience invites weary walkers to cook, dine and relax at the end of a day's exploration.

Sharing the same soothing colour palette and natural wood hues as the rest of this bolthole, the cosy king-size bedroom offers a wonderfully peaceful spot to retire to before kick-starting your next adventure with a refreshing shower in the elegant en-suite shower room. Accessed from the bedroom and front door, unwind on the decked balcony, losing yourself in breathtaking rural vistas over rolling farmland and beyond.

There is also an enclosed seating area perfect for a spot of al fresco dining. The owners are happy for guests to share their grounds and wander through their gardens.
