This delightful cottage has an authentic countryside feel, reflected in its tasteful decor and its picturesque surroundings. It is situated within the village of Dedham, on the Suffolk/Essex border, which is full of tea rooms and genteel boutiques. The accommodation, tastefully renovated in 2016, is in a peaceful location near the church. It happily accommodates three people, with up to two canine companions in cosy, comfortable quarters. The lounge is a welcoming place at the end of an energetic day, with a comfortable sofa and chair to relax into as you enjoy a TV programme or a DVD. The feature fireplace will keep you and waggy tails warm on a chilly night. You can enjoy meals in the kitchen/diner at the table and chairs, whether it's breakfast while you chat about your plans, or dinner while you recall the day's adventures. There are two inviting bedrooms on the first floor; a master double bedroom and a single bedroom with an additional pull out bed. The quaint villages of Dedham and nearby Flatford (4 miles) were made famous by painter John Constable. The landscapes may be altered since his time, but they are still picturesque, and they offer plenty of walks in the fresh air for you and your four-legged friends. Further afield lies the beautiful villages of Long Melford (17 miles) and Lavenham (18 miles), both steeped in history and the backdrop to many a television series. Colchester (8 miles) offers you plenty of shops, restaurants, a large number of dog-friendly pubs and parks such as Highwoods Country Park (7.5 miles) where your four-legged friends can run and play, along with the rest of the family.
