Situated right in the heart of Ixworth, just a hop and skip from a very convenient pub serving food. This west Suffolk village is great for those not wanting to wander too far, with its range of unique shops, restaurants and pubs to explore. The award-winning vineyard in Ixworth has a restaurant.
For those looking to venture out a little further, there are plenty of attractions in Suffolk.

Its array of independent and high street shops will not disappoint. Take a stroll in the Abbey Gardens or explore the town by doing the town trail. Just over an hour away is the lovely Suffolk coast; Southwold is well worth a visit, offering something for everyone, all year round. With an extensive sandy beach, well known for its colourful beach huts lined on the promenade, lighthouse and glorious pier. Sampling the delicious fish and chips is a must.

Lovely homely cottage in a charming village - lots of space and well equipped.

Lovely homely cottage in a charming village - lots of space and well equipped. Beds very comfortable in good sized bedrooms . Recently refurbished bathroom is very nice. Handy to be on a bus route into Bury St Edmunds if you want a break from driving, but also a short drive into this lovely City. 2 very nice pubs, a convenience store and other shops all on hand in the village. Cottage was lovely and cosy to retreat to after a busy day and relax. We will be booking again.
