Pike Cottage is a lovely and well appointed cosy cottage with a river at the bottom of the garden! We had great weather and a lovely stay with some great local pubs nearby!

Pike Cottage is beautifully located in the quiet village of Letheringham, with the river Deben flowing past at the bottom of the garden and mature trees completing the idyllic setting. The cottage is clean and cosy, and well equipped with everything you need to make your holiday enjoyable. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is great. The surrounding area is lovely, with the picturesque town of Framlingham a few miles away, and the even nearer Wickham Market has a good supermarket. Further afield, Bury St Edmunds is just under an hour away and well worth a visit, as are the historic towns of Lavenham and Long Melford about an hour away. The coast is less than an hour away, with Dulwich, Bawdsey and the Shotley peninsula close by and interesting. I would highly recommend Pike Cottage for a break in Suffolk.
