Holiday Cottages Suffolk

£240 - £310

The present owners have run Fern Cottage successfully as a holiday cottage since 1988. It is situated in the shadow of the internationally famous 'Cathedral of the Marshes’, down a lane leading to Blythburgh Marshes, that was originally the old Yarmouth Road; From Cromwell’s soldiers to Charles Dickens on his way to Blundeston in Norfolk, all have past this magical setting that is Fern Cottage. Thought to have been built in the 16th century, some of the beams used in its construction were probably taken from redundant ships when Blythburgh ceased to be a flourishing inland port in the 18th Century.

A pretty enclosed garden with lawn, flowers beds and garden, table and chairs is accessed from the lane by a five bar and wicket gate where there is standing room for two cars. A kitchen with table and chairs, electric oven, microwave and fridge leads to a small hallway with a shower room and toilet leading off. The cosy lounge has an open fire, TV, video and DVD and has a wonderful atmosphere to relax in after a days walking the marshes and the River Blyth or enjoying the beaches of Southwold and Walberswick. Steep cottage stairs lead to a landing bedroom with double bed, which in turn leads to another bedroom with two singles. Three double duvets and pillows are provided but not linen. Pets are welcome and there are lots of walks in the immediate vicinity and a large enclosed field adjacent to the lane.
