About this cottage rental
Situated in the quietest of settings in the beautiful rural county of Suffolk. The property enjoys views of the peaceful countryside from its idyllic isolated setting. From this restful hideaway one can explore the many local footpaths and lanes on foot or visit nearby attractions by car or bicycle, from windmills, churches, nature reserves to steam attractions, sports venues and a wealth of local shops, pubs and eateries. The historic towns of Cambridge and Norwich are within an hour's drive, and the iconic coastlines of Norfolk or Suffolk make for a memorable day out.
DROVERS COTTAGE (2 bed sleeps 6)
Being set within a peaceful environment, Drover's cottage has been designed in sympathy with the listed farmhouse nearby, retaining oak beams and design features typical of the region's historic architecture. This cottage being a conversion from an original farm building specifically to supply the needs of the holiday maker, there is everything one could wish for to facilitate a restful, rural escape. The well-appointed kitchen area includes fridge/freezer, range style oven, washing machine and dish washer. The traditional bathroom featuring roll top bath is in addition to the en-suite facilities to both bedrooms. The open plan layout of the kitchen and spacious dining and living areas gives an airy open feel whilst at the same time the wood burner encourages a snug, warm atmosphere. There are TVs with DVD players in both the lounge and bedrooms, and a generous enclosed garden with dog proof fencing, BBQ and patio area with table and chairs.
Additionally, there is a covered BBQ area, ample parking and uniquely a decking area set in the middle of one of the lakes, where one can soak up the rays or watch the sunset with a gin and tonic to hand.
A track runs from the back of the lakes straight on to a drove that heads off in different directions across the countryside, lovely walks and great for dogs.

Really couldn't fault it. We were here to visit our son's R.A.F memorial and grave in Honington and wanted peace, calm, and tranquillity, which this provided. Location is wonderful with easy access, and parking adjacent to the property. Cleanliness and facilities were all we could have hoped for. The accomodation is warm, comfortable, and maintained to a high standard throughout. Would highly recommend.

The apartment was very spacey and the kitchen was more than complete! The cottage is located at a farm and the neighborhood is very quiet with lots of ‘wildlife’ like bunnies, squirrels and buzzards. Fantastic!

Would definitely recommend.

We found this lovely, comfortable barn conversion in a good location with walks from the doorstep across fields to stumble across some lovely, old villages.
The barn provided everything for our needs throughout with a great garden space for dogs. We found it very peaceful and will be looking to book again.
The only problem we had was to access the link to message the host re. checking in procedure.

A fabulous clean, spacious and comfortable accommodation with everything you could need. We have now spent dozens of long weekends at different dog-friendly cottages in Suffolk and Norfolk, and this one is right up there for such a beautiful setting, large dog secure garden, spotlessly clean and peaceful surroundings. Thank you for having us.

This property has been so well designed and furnished it is superbly comfortable and amazingly clean. The owner has definitely gone the extra mile by providing lots of lovely little extras. The location is peaceful, beautiful and driving around the countryside is a real pleasure. Whilst staying (during the heatwave), my mother and I decided to find some lovely dog friendly places to eat and we certainly did. The first was the Bull Inn in Bacton (great tuna steak), followed by The Anchor at Walberswick (which is right next to an all year round dog friendly beach - kiln smoked salmon on a bed of pickled mooli and capers), and lastly The Burston Crown at Burston (really lovely roast dinner, with amazing gravy).

Spacious cottage with it’s own secure garden in a beautifully calm and serene area. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to others.

Drovers cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The host provided everything possible to ensure an easy stress free stay. The three bathrooms were a great bonus and all in excellent condition and the enclosed garden perfect for dogs. A perfect peaceful getaway!

We stayed in Drovers as a party of for adults and two dogs for 4 nights. We have had a great time. The property was fully equipped and well maintained. Large airy living area with plenty of room to move about. didn't get the chance to use the log fire due to the lovely weather but a bag of logs, firelighters and lighters were there waiting if we wished to do so. Nice size rear garden and dog proof - we had a bearded collie and a cockerpoo who throughly enjoyed it. Safe, secure and private and direct access out to the pond area and water decking with bench set. Really quiet location and very relaxing. Sara was very helpful before arriving with questions about "what do we need to bring" as so often we end up taking "everything bar the kitchen sink " on self catering holidays but not this time. Bedrooms were compact and both had TVs, wardrobes and comfy beds. My husband and I had the wetroom ensuite and it was spacious and the only negative woul dbe the water pressure fromthe shower, but our one at home is super powerful so perhaps its a normal shower pressure for most people. Our friends had the other room and they said their shower was great. There was also a standalone bathroom just off the kitchen area with a lovely bath in it. Came in very handy. The settees( also convert to beds) were comfortable ish but I wouldn't want to spend longer than 4 nights sitting on them. All in all we were impressed with the place and would definately visit again. We recommend the Hopton Chippy - all freshly cooked to order, The Mill Inn (not a looker from the outside) but food was lovely.

Lovely cottage, really clean, fabulous setting in a very rural, middle of nowhere, quiet, getaway from it all location.
Sara's communication was prompt, simple and reassuring. Overall lovely stay.

A lovely renovated barn, with everything you need for a home from home experience. Very clean and spacious, as well as being dog friendly. Lots of walks for your dogs in the surrounding fields.
We spent 4 nights here and its was lovely. A trip into Diss is definitely worthwhile, with lots of independent shops you won't be Dissappointed. A visit to The Mill Inn, which serves beautiful home cooked food is also another must, don't be put off by the 1970,s decor the food was fabulous.
I would definitely recommend. 5☆

Following a difficult period, my friend and I wanted a peaceful retreat for ourselves and our 2 terriers. Drovers Cottage was everything we could have wished for and more. It was spotlessly clean, with everything required for a weekend of doing nothing more than dog walks, cooking and then chilling out in front of the logburner. The garden is truly dog friendly, even for little terriers, and very peaceful and private. I would highly recommend a stay at Drovers Cottage and plan to stay again.

What a lovely cottage to stay in. On a working farm but separate so no noises etc. Very good location to be able to get to some of the lovely small towns and villages and beaches not too far away. Found a very nice café called Angels in Diss where the prices were very good and the cake slices large. We also found the Mr Chips fish shop do GF on a Monday which was great for me. Absolutely loved it there and I'm sure we shall return. Thank you Sara for being available when/if we needed you.

We were very impressed from the moment we arrived. The surroundings were lovely and the property was excellent and very well appointed. Created an impression on us the moment we walked through the door.
It was very comfortable and having the 2 ensuite bedrooms made for a relaxing stay.
Found some lovely places to visit and eat with 20 minutes drive so definitely plan to revisit.

We had a lovely week here! The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable. It’s located in the middle of beautiful countryside with walks nearby and a lovely private picnic table in the middle of small pond surrounded by shrubbery for a quiet drink or alfresco lunch. Once there you can forget the world outside.

Drovers Cottage - deceptive from the outside! Absolutely gorgeous inside, very roomy and extremely comfortable. Very well equipped with provisions (toilet rolls, soap, kitchen towel, etc). Quiet & peaceful and wonderful for a short break. We enjoyed the garden, lake area and nature trail. Highly recommended.
