The first thing you notice about Hill View is the garden, perfect for relaxing on the decking in the hammock, or on the large lawn next to the fruit trees (pear, apple, peach, and plum)! The master bedroom is located on the ground floor, featuring a king sized bed with step free access to the outside (although there is a step up into the kitchen) and ensuite wc/shower room. The second bedroom is upstairs, also featuring a king sized bed, and is next door to the colourful third bedroom with a bunk bed. All bedrooms have blackout curtains and secondary blinds; linen and towels are provided and professionally laundered for each guest as part of the cleaning fee. The family bathroom holds a large rolltop bath and separate shower. Downstairs the lounge boasts a log burner and smart TV, whilst the dining room holds a refectory style dining table to seat up to 8. The kitchen is well equipped with a 5 hob electric range cooker, fridge freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, crepe maker, and all the essentials, whilst the utility room has a washing machine, iron & ironing board, and drying rack. Returning outside, the garden room is air conditioned, and is a perfect distraction particularly if there is poor weather, with table football, jigsaws, toys, and a PlayStation Classic. You will have the whole home to yourselves, including our games room / air conditioned garden room. The garden is very large with lawn, decking, fruit trees, loads of raspberries in the summer, and a BBQ area: please bring charcoal! Free parking is available on the large drive for up to three cars. Our gardener visits once a week to keep the outside areas looking perfect, with local housekeeper on call.

We love hosting families, small groups and couples in Suffolk, where there is so much to do for a short break! Families can enjoy the many child friendly attractions nearby and the large garden at Hill View, whilst small groups often enjoy the various restaurants and pubs within walking distance. Dogs are very welcome at Hill View, and there are plenty of options for walks, plus most eateries nearby are dog friendly. We have two spaniels (a springer and cocker) ourselves.
