Suffolk Country Cottages

Our selection of cottages in the Suffolk countryside and in and around the market towns of Framlingham and Lavenham allow you to immerse yourself in the history, culture, and scenic landscapes that make this area so special.  With its historic charm, vibrant local life, and events year-round, rural Suffolk is just a short trip from London and the Home Counties, offering a relaxing and memorable escape.

Framlingham is famous for its iconic castle, a prominent landmark that overlooks the town and offers fascinating glimpses into Suffolk’s mediaeval history.  The castle hosts events and exhibitions throughout the year, including historical reenactments and guided tours that bring the stories of its past to life.  With its strong local ties to musician Ed Sheeran, who grew up in the area, Framlingham offers a unique blend of historical significance and modern-day allure that appeals to visitors of all ages.

Lavenham, meanwhile, is often celebrated as one of England’s best-preserved mediaeval villages.  Its Tudor architecture and winding streets transport you back in time, creating an enchanting atmosphere for a countryside escape.  Known for its charming crooked houses, Lavenham offers a variety of art galleries, antique shops, and cosy cafes.  The village is also recognised by fans of the Harry Potter films, with iconic buildings that have appeared on film.  Regular events in Lavenham include craft fairs, historical tours, and seasonal food markets, offering a taste of local produce, craft and an insight into the local community spirit. 

Rural Suffolk offers more than just history; it’s brimming with traditional country pubs, scenic walking trails, and bustling local markets. These markets showcase fresh, locally produced goods and crafts, giving visitors a true taste of Suffolk’s thriving community.  Key events such as the Latitude Festival, Henham Steam Rally and the Suffolk Show bring locals and visitors together, providing a vibrant calendar of family-friendly activities and cultural experiences that make every visit unique.
