By The Jetty in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

By The Jetty Self-Catering

Is there anything better than an escape to the idyllic countryside? This wonderful home is tucked away amid Suffolk’s lush scenery, in a peaceful part of the world. You’ll be able to spend your days hiking and cycling in the Great Outdoors, before warming up by roaring fires in country pubs.

Of course, you may find that you don’t want to leave the house at all. A Grade II listed farmhouse, this home was built in the 16th century. The thatched roof and verdant grounds make it seem like something from a children’s story. When you’re outside, enjoying the countryside views from the south-facing garden, your eye will likely be drawn to the pond. A large pond sits in the grounds, boasting a jetty and a boat for you to pootle around in – keep an eye out for the family of ducks. When the weather is fine, you’ll likely spend much of your time outside. Little ones can play on the lawn while you cook on the barbecue – who doesn’t love dining alfresco when on holiday?

Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming home that’s ideal for groups getting together. There’s plenty of space whether you’re lounging in the living room, curling up with a book in the snug, or tucking into a celebratory meal together.
