Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 6 - Dedham, Essex

A quirky, colourful cottage right on the Suffolk/Essex border, where a family group of six can escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy rural surroundings and historic attractions. After exploring, spend evenings soaking up the sun in your courtyard garden. Head inside this lovingly renovated cottage into the spacious hallway where you can shake off your walking boots.

The beautiful, bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a sociable space for you all to enjoy spending time together. A stylish, fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to rustle up filling breakfasts and hearty dinners. After tucking in at the six-seater dining table, cosy up on the sofas around the open fire and watch a movie on the Smart TV or get competitive and play some games.

Upstairs are the three sumptuous bedrooms, a king-size with an en-suite shower room, and two twin bedrooms which share a family bathroom with shower over the bath. There is also a separate WC for extra convenience. Outside through the kitchen door, is a pleasant courtyard garden with outdoor seating and a BBQ, so you can dine alfresco when the weather is nice.

Private parking is provided for one car. Dedham is a picturesque village on the Suffolk and Essex border, meaning that you will be well situated to explore both counties. Dedham has a couple of pubs, shops, and a tea room, all within 400 metres of the property.

Head off on long walks through the fantastic surrounding landscapes and alongside the River Stour or visit the fabulous coastline at Felixstowe (23 miles). Visit the vibrant city of Colchester (8 miles) and explore the Roman ruins and Colchester Castle.
