Immerse yourself in village life when staying in this marvellous little cottage at the heart of Bentley. Formerly the old village post office, this character cottage is a bijou space that’s warm and welcoming with homely décor and utterly comfortable furnishings. The single-storey property is laid out with four guests in mind, complete with two bedrooms and two bathrooms for added privacy and that extra touch of luxury. Spend time getting to know the surrounding area with trips to the coast, a mosey along the river or a long bike ride on one of the country’s impressive National Cycle Routes.


Step inside to be greeted by an attractive lounge/kitchen/dining area decorated with warm tones and cute soft furnishings. The living room has been furnished with a plush L-shaped sofa, a wood burner and a Smart TV to create the cosiest space to relax in on cool winter evenings. Whip up a delicious dinner and sit down together before collapsing onto the sofa. Both double bedrooms can be found along the hallway alongside a family bathroom. The larger of the two bedrooms is presented with an en-suite, allowing residents of the other bedroom to take sole use of the larger bathroom.


Discover activity in abundance in the surrounding area, exploring the Suffolk Coast AONB (2 miles) or the vibrant countryside of the Dedham Vale AONB (6.5 miles). Take a short drive to the stunning Harkstead Beach (7 miles) or visit Alton Water (2 miles) where you can embark on a waterfront walk or even try your hand at some thrilling water sports from the sports centre (4 miles). The bustling towns of both Ipswich (7 miles) and Colchester (13 miles) are just a short distance away, each with a world of amenities and attractions to be enjoyed.
