❤️Romantic Flint Cottage❤️on the Suffolk Coast⛱️
Stable Cottage is a beautiful romantic flint period cottage set in the heart of the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The stable dates to 1750’s and has been tastefully renovated over two floors. This traditional cottage sleeps two people in comfort and offers the perfect cosy retreat and ideal setting for couples seeking a relaxing holiday or a romantic break. This hideaway is ideal for short breaks and is perfect as a base for touring the picturesque Suffolk coastal area from the market town of Saxmundham.
A gorgeous haven for couples, it is a wonderful holiday base throughout the year, with coast, countryside, culture & food on the doorstep. Days at the beach, sailing, walking, golfing, fishing, bird-watching, relaxing galore!
This lovely Victorian stable's cottage is in the heart of Saxmundham on a quiet street, 100 yards from Saxmundham train station and 200 yards from Saxmundham high street. Stable cottage is a lovely cosy cottage, full of character and exceptionally comfortable, clean and well-equipped, including the use of unlimited Wi-Fi and super fast broadband.
Stable cottage is close to an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, characterful pubs, excellent art galleries and a museum. The cottage is also a few paces from one of the best fish and chip shop in Suffolk.
There are excellent restaurants just a couple of minutes walk away. As you step out of the cottage door there is a beautiful sunny courtyard facing a lovely church in one direction, and the high street just yards away the other way. Despite the perfect location, the cottage is delightfully peaceful.
There is also public parking just outside the cottage.
This beautiful Victorian stable, that was once fully functioning has been tastefully renovated and converted into a comfortable 1 bedroom cottage sleeping 2 people. The cottage has been re-furbished in a light but luxurious style and has been brought into the 21st century, with contemporary kitchen and bathroom and very comfy furnishings.
On the ground floor it has a lovely cosy living room and dining space with a well-equipped kitchen. There is a beautiful sunny courtyard with outside furniture too. On the first floor it has a master bedroom, which is spacious and peaceful with a solid wood frame double bed and superior quality mattress, covered with natural linen. There is also a lovely light and airy shower room with all the essentials.
Stable cottage retains its original period features throughout but is very light and airy with every modern comfort and furnished to a very high standard. We provide complimentary toiletries and essential pantry items such as coffee, tea, sugar, biscuits, salt and pepper. We also provide household essentials such as washing up liquid, cling film wrap, foil paper and cleaning products.

Lovely short break
The cottage was cosy, ideal for the 2 of us for 3 nights. Not a huge fan of Saxmundham, but loved Suffolk. Visited Orford, Rendlesham Forest, Aldeburgh - beautiful places.

A comfortable cottage
We enjoyed our stay in Saxmundham and found the cottage comfortable and generally well equipped (although there was no ice cube tray in the freezer). The location was very handy for the town with excellent restaurants and supermarkets.
However, the description of the property obviously raised our expectations too high. Unfortunately, the courtyard in front of the cottage was largely filled with a substantial gazebo which obliterated any view and made access to the property difficult.
Whilst we only met Tim twice, once on our arrival, he was very pleasant and the family was unobtrusive even though windows from the main house overlook the courtyard. It was obvious that the courtyard was used as a family space when guests were not in residence.

compact and clean cottage in Saxmundham
We enjoyed our stay in Stable Cottage for 3 nights recently which we booked at very short notice due to a change in plans.
It is quiet and comfortable and well located being a relatively short drive to the sea. Tim and Lucy were very welcoming.
We would definitely stay again should we be looking for a short break in Suffolk.

Cosy and contemporary cottage
Owners were very welcoming. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Lots of thought and attention to detail has gone into making this cottage a great place to stay. Location was ideal to tour the Suffolk coast and a short walk away from shops and Bell Inn - great food at reasonable prices, in Saxmundham.

Lovely base to see more of Suffolk
Ideal for a couple as a base to visit Bury St Edmunds, Aldeburgh and Thorpeness areas. Comfortable, well equipped, quiet and good shops close by. Lovely welcome from owners Tim and Lucy.

Stable Cottage - pretty,compact and cosy with privacy.
Stable Cottage is a sweet little compact 1 bedroomed cottage. In my view, a better option than a hotel room of similar cost. Owners Tim and Lucy live in the attached larger property and are a delight. Welcoming and helpful. Private entry with a padlocked gate and if the weather is good a pretty courtyard to sit in offers space and privacy. Basically equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting room with a sofa, WIFI, TV and I-POD docking station mean that if you do want to relax, watch TV, film or listen to you own music you can.
Good double bed and separate shower upstairs. Tim and Lucy are very responsive to problems and clearly want their guests to enjoy their stay.
The cottage is in a great position. You can park outside or near the cottage. Restaurants, pubs, and shops all within very short walking distance. A good base for exploring as has already been extensively mentioned by others.We ate in the Bell one evening and the food was good quality, fresh and generous portions. Highly recommend! The Trinity cafe does good coffee and massive breakfasts if you need it.
Loved it - and our feedback to the owners about minor,( but a bit inconvenient) and easily fixed things has already been dealt with. With these amendments I would increase my review to 5 stars.
