Cozy & tranquil!

The 'Stables' is an idillic cottage in a secluded location, perfect if you would like to rest and recharge. Yet not too far from amenities and attractions like the new Gainsborough Museum in Sudbury. We would like to recommend it as it is a beautiful retreat, a real gem. Furthermore, the owners are welcoming and kind. We were greeted with a hamper and lovely fresh flowers. Absolutely fabulous!

Idyllic

A beautiful retreat for cozy evenings infront of the log burner or endless beautiful walks with our puppy! So many places to visit in the area yet the cottage is quiet snd tranquil. Just as beautiful in the summer months as BBQ and lovely enclosed garden. We can highly recommend this hidden gem snd would not hesitate to return! Hosts are amazing and welcome hamper and fresh flowers were a lovely treat!
