2 Bedroom Cottage in West Stow, Bury St. Edmunds

Offering total privacy in the unique setting of the old walled garden of West Stow Hall, Gardener's Cottage is a charming base from which to explore the beautiful towns and countryside of Suffolk. With six acres of gardens, woods and paddocks of the Hall to explore and within walking distance of the king's Forest it is ideal for those wishing to ride, walk, fish, golf and enjoy the many country pursuits offered locally while Bury St Edmunds, Lavenham , Long Melford, Newmarket and Cambridge are all within easy reach as are Aldburgh and Southwold making day trips to the coast an easy option. Local pubs offer good food whilst Bury St. Edmunds, a 15min drive, has a wide variety of restaurants.
Recently renovated to a high standard the cottage offers two double bedrooms, one with a king size bed, the other with twin, zip and link, beds. There is a family bathroom with shower over, a well equipped, eat- in kitchen with views over a paddock, and a large open plan living dinning room with French windows on to the sun trap garden.. As well as oil central heating and modern cooker, there is a solid fuel Rayburn in the kitchen and a wood burning stove in the sitting room. Comfortable settees and good quality furnishings make the cottage a very cosy home from home in all weathers and at all times of the year.
Larger groups of up to 10, could also be easily accommodated by booking Orchard Cottage, which sleeps 4, as well.
Dogs are welcome but please note that, as we are surrounded by fields occupied by mares and foals, they must remain on leads at all times when in the grounds. The cottage garden is secure, so it is fine for dogs to roam at will there.
Please note that although the cottage is all on one level parking is a short walk away in front of West Stow Hall. It is not possible to park next to the cottage. There is plenty of space for several cars and the walk only takes a couple of minutes over flat ground. Pets are welcome but we ask that guests let us know in advance. Although we normally only have one pet at a time we are open to more staying but this would only be after discussion at the time of booking.

Summary: The cottage was everything I would expect in a historical English cottage with vibrant walled gardens and cozy accommodations. (The living room furniture could have been more comfortable). It was a perfect location to visit the many small towns, parks, cathedrals and castles. Our hostess, Eileen was very accommodating and even gave us a tour of the old (originally built in 1530) West Stow Hall. I would definitely stay again. I even got to get her raspberries and rhubarb from the garden and put cut flowers in the cottage!

Summary: If you are looking to stay in a quintessential Suffolk cottage in a very quiet country setting, this will take some beating. It was bitterly cold during our stay and it was fairly difficult to keep warm in the cottage. Staying during a warmer month of the year would have made our time more comfortable, but it's a lovely place to feel at home in. Eileen is a great host, who is extremely attentive, friendy and helpful.

Summary: We had a lovely stay at Gardener's Cottage and Eileen greeted us with a warm and friendly welcome. The enclosed garden was great for our dog and walks in the King's Forest were a real delight. The cottage was very well-equipped and had an excellent layout making for a cosy and relaxing short break. We definitely hope to return again soon.
