More about Corner Cottage (the location)

Corner Cottage is a delightful single-storey period cottage in the quiet, friendly market town of Saxmundham - just 4 miles from Snape and 8 miles from the coastal town of Aldeburgh - providing the ideal base to enjoy all that Suffolk has to offer.

Corner Cottage (the cottage)

Corner Cottage is a traditional Suffolk flint-fronted cottage, believed to date back to around the 1800?s, when the area was beginning to be populated by craft-workers and small trades associated with the developing national railway. The cottage has many charming period features remaining from that era, but has been renovated internally to provide for our guests modern comforts and conveniences. As the cottage is single-storey, all accommodation is on one level - with no stairs, or awkward steps.

The open-plan living space incorporates the sitting room and kitchen/diner, divided by a central feature fireplace, and has doors off to the bedrooms, shower-room and utility area. For rainy days or lazy afternoons there is a well-stocked library of books, magazines, videos, DVDs and board-games/jig-saw puzzles. For musical entertainment, there is a radio casette-player and the TV also plays music CDs.

The place to be on chilly afternoons or winter evenings is in front of a gently crackling log-fire.
At Corner Cottage you don?t have to be a seasoned professional to enjoy an open fire - a supply of ?easy-light? log-packs are provided, so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your cosy real fire. A sack of traditional, rustic (real) logs are also provided, and more logs (if required) can be bought locally.

The kitchen is fully equipped with all essentials - including oven, hob, fridge/freezer, and a microwave. There is plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses and other useful items, plus initial supplies of tea, coffee, etc., and fresh milk on arrival.

Corner Cottage comfortably sleeps 4 adults in 2 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has a 4?6? double bed, and the other bedroom can be arranged as either a (kingsize) double, or as a twin-bedded room (with two 2?6? single beds). All bedlinen and towels are provided.
There is plenty of hanging and drawer space, plus useful items such as alarm clocks and hairdryers. A travel cot and highchair are available on request.

Adjacent to the shower room and W.C. is the utility area, with washing machine and tumble dryer. An iron and ironing board are also provided.

Breakfast by arrangement.
