Bluebell Cottage is one of three delightful thatched cottages, part of a medieval hall house and now beautifully converted into this spacious luxury holiday cottage, sleeping 4. On the banks of the River Deben, just a 4 minute walk from the small, peaceful village of Kettleburgh with its fine medieval church - St Andrews and riverside pub.

Nearby: Beyond the garden are footpaths galore, but take wellies and walk quietly if you are going to look at the river, there are swans nesting and otters bathing close by. Just a bike ride away from Earl Soham, Easton (look out for the crinkle crankle wall - the longest in Europe) and Framlingham, all extremely attractive villages with a variety of fascinating architecture and excellent traditional pubs, you can enjoy several days of exploration without bothering about the car. Young and old will adore Framlingham Castle and Easton Park Farm where children can feed the animals and learn more about farming There is an excellent riding school close by - Valley Farm - and at Cretingham an 18 hole golf course, pool and tennis courts, daily and weekly membership is available.

Getting Around: The countryside and villages are stunning and the coast just a twenty minute drive away. Explore the ancient port of Dunwich, the sandy beach and pier at Southwold and the seaside town of Aldeburgh, loved as much by artists, writers and musicians as by holiday makers.
