Enjoy the romantic atmosphere of your own 300 year old English farm cottage. With all the lovely original features of ancient oak beams, a traditional baking oven and ‘copper kettle’, open log fires, original brick or wood floors, authentic farmhouse furniture, ducks, flowers and a touch of luxury we bring alive the Romance of Rural Living. Surrounded by lovely Suffolk countryside, just 2 hours from London, our 6 very cosy cottages make up the old Grove Farm which is close to Lavenham, famous for being the prettiest medieval village in England. We are ideally situated for exploring the pretty villages of Suffolk and its coastline, or visiting London which is 50 minutes by train from the nearest mainline station.

Despite being so close to London this county is very rural and until very recently rather inaccessible, this has helped preserve the lovely rural qualities and the tiny villages and hamlets that spread out across a spiders web of barely chartered byroads and country lanes. These beautiful villages are one of the great attractions for visitors to Suffolk, often beautifully preserved in all their Medieval splendour and many containing a rich history of the early pilgrims to America. The Grove Cottages, which were formerly dairies, bakery’s and two farm workers cottages are built in a Monastic style ‘double quadrangle’, the buildings all date back to the early 17 hundreds, when they serviced a long lost Mansion House. All cottages are all totally self contained and very private, having entrances from totally different sides; they sleep from 2 to 6 people.
