About this property

Saxmundham 3.5 miles / Framlingham 4.5 miles. Courtyard Cottage is in the small village of Sweffling, between the two market towns of Saxmundham and Framlingham. This endearing barn conversion rests within the owner’s charming courtyard and offers a superb base for a couple looking to explore East Anglia’s coastal towns, picturesque countryside and some of the best bird-watching spots in the country. The interior of the cottage enjoys a bright and airy colour palette, complete with a wonderful blend of contemporary and traditional furnishings to ensure a charming stay. Look forward to spending your evenings within the quaint open-plan living room, where you and your loved one can rustle up a delicious evening meal before curling up in front of the woodburning fire, which fills the room with warmth and comfort during those chilly winter evenings.

After an action-packed afternoon, retire to the master bedroom where you will find a well-presented king-size bed and a stylish shower room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC. Outside, you can spend a moment or two within the quaint courtyard area, where you will be able to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining or enjoy a refreshing morning coffee before heading out for the day. For those feeling active, venture to the coast to places like Aldeburgh, Southworld or Walberswick where you will find miles of glorious sandy beaches, towering cliffs and coastal walks offering opportunities to discover the area’s wonderful wildlife.

Visit towns like Woodbridge, Bungay or Beccles - Beccles will lead you to the Broads National Park, where you can enjoy a magnitude of outdoor pursuits. Further afield, is the wonderful city of Norwich where you will be delighted with exploring the medieval Cathedral and its superb selection of amenities. Courtyard Cottage is a charming base for a couple looking to escape city life.

Saxmundham is a small market town located on the River Fromus, in the heart of Suffolk’s Heritage Coast. The town is well serviced with a Waitrose, Tesco, independent shops, local museum, and a train station, as well as art galleries, a weekly market and a farmers’ market. Situated so close to the coast, Saxmundham is a great base for a seaside holiday; within easy reach of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, as well as Dunwich, Southwold and Walberswick, you could enjoy a different coastal location each day. Also close by is the inland market town Framlingham with beautiful historic architecture, a castle and an array of independent shops. South of the town there is the well known tourist destination of Sutton Hoo, an ancient Royal Anglo-Saxon burial site.

  • Stephen

    Sitting area : settee not comfortable,could do with two comfortable chairs . Cosy room. Safe but awkward parking. Sykes description “ outskirts of Saxmundham” a bit of a stretch when the cottage is some distance the other side of the A12 .

  • Amanda

    Great location for exploring Suffolk. Very helpful and friendly owners and the cottage was spotless. A great place to stay!

  • Peter

    The owner, Mike, who lives close by was friendly and helpful. The location was quiet and excellent for exploring Suffolk and all it offers. All in all a most enjoyable stay that we'd recommend without reservation.
