Holiday rental: 2 bed Apartment in Saxmundham Suffolk England, for rent short term

The Miller's Cottage

Step back in time at this meticulously restored Regency cottage. Your hosts have poured their time and energy into sourcing period-specific reclaimed materials and equipping the home with antique furnishings to create a cosy and charming English escape that offers the very best of coast and country.

All that effort has clearly paid off, as evidenced by the beautiful interior. From the Victorian roll-top bath to the eighteenth-century range and the wainscotting on the walls – every effort has been made to make it feel as authentic as possible. Even the mod cons, such as the TV, are hidden away inside bread ovens that are built into the chimney so as not to shatter the illusion.

At the top of the narrow staircase is the twin bedroom, through which you enter the main bedroom – a pretty common arrangement for houses of this period.

Step outside, and you'll find a beautifully maintained nature reserve right on your doorstep. Your hosts bought it in 2015 and have spent the intervening years slowly restoring and exposing its beauty, with winding footpaths leading to conveniently placed benches, soaring Scots pine trees and ancient oaks – perfect for a reflective moment in nature or a ride on the supplied bikes.

For adventures further afield, you'll find maps detailing footpaths that run to the world-class concert hall at Snape Maltings, two-and-a-half miles away, and continue through forests and past lakes, leading all the way to the sea at Aldeburgh.
*Your hosts live on-site, so can be on hand if needed
*Three cottages and the main house share the site – each has a private garden
*The cottage is small so it can accommodate four guests as a maximum – including infants
*There's a steep staircase within the home, so it's unsuitable for those with limited mobility
*It's located along the main road to Aldeburgh so you may notice some noise from passing traffic
*You'll be provided with a welcome basket with local bacon, sausages, eggs and bread
*Child-friendly amenities such as a cot and highchair are available on request, though you'll need to provide bedding
*Access to the main bedroom is through the twin room only – taller guests take note as the ceiling heights vary
