About this property

Rural cottage, log fire, indoor heated pool. A mile from cosy village pub

Yew Tree Cottage is a 16th Century timber framed cottage attached to a working small holding with sheep and chickens in quiet rural location.
Sleeps five in two bedrooms, both en-suite, with views over the countryside. There is also a fold out double sofa bed in lounge for those who cannot manage steep stairs. There is a cot that can be erected in either bedroom. The cottage has central heating, with a wood burner in the lounge too. You also have use of the owners heated indoor pool.
Dogs are welcomed, provided you can keep to some rules; which are to protect our animals, ensure your dog is safe and you can enjoy your stay. We ask that your dog is kept on a lead when outside as we have sheep, cats and chickens, and the garden is not fully enclosed. Your furry friend must sleep on their own bed downstairs, and must not be allowed on the furniture or upstairs.
The cottage is an ideal base to explore medieval churches, Framlingham Castle, Woodbridge Tide Mill, Saxstead Mill, Snape Maltings, Minsmere Bird Sanctuary and much more. The seaside resorts of Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Felixstowe are all within 1-1.5 hour journey plus many local attractions such as Fynn Valley Golf Course at Witnesham, Easton Farm Park and Stonham Barns which has an Owl Sanctuary, Golf Course, Teapot manufacturer, shops, garden centre and cafe.
