Flint Cottage is a charming single-storey holiday cottage in the historic market-town of Saxmundham - just 4 miles from Snape Maltings and 8 miles from the ever-popular seaside town of Aldeburgh, on the unspoilt Suffolk Heritage Coast. A fully-equipped, homely cottage perfect for relaxing holidays all-year round.

Flint Cottage is a pretty period cottage, surrounded by its distinctive white picket fence. Made of traditional Suffolk flint, it dates back to around 1800 and so has many period features. Its a 'town cottage', so conveniently just 5 mins walk to the High Street, for shops/pubs/restaurants. Saxmundham is a small, friendly market-town providing an ideal base for relaxing holidays or short breaks, whether in summer or winter.

Accommodation

Inside, the cottage is light and airey, with pleasant views from each window. It has many period features remaining, and these are combined with the modern comforts and conveniences you would expect for your holiday - plus many extras!
The kitchen has quaint period charm with a handmade pine dresser and is fully equipped for modern living - large fridge-freezer, washer/dryer, microwave, filter coffee-maker, etc., plus plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, and useful utensils. An iron and ironing board is provided, and there is a washing line in the Courtyard.
The sunny dining room overlooks the pretty (private) Courtyard garden at the back of the cottage - perfect view at breakfast! It comfortably seats four, plus space for a highchair.
The cosy living room has a log-burner (for real log-fires in winter!), comfortable seating, Satellite (Freeview) TV which also plays CDs/DVDs, a small library of books, plus card and board games.
The bathroom has a full length bath, plus a power-shower over the bath, basin, toilet, and a shaver-point. Large soft towels are provided!
The spacious bedrooms have comfortable beds - each with four pillows and crisp, cotton bedlinen, built-in wardrobes, plenty of drawer-space, plus useful items such as an alarm-clock and hairdryer. One bedroom has a double bed, and the other has a kingsize double. A travel-cot can be provided (free of charge) by advance arrangement.
The Courtyard garden is pretty during the spring and summer - with colourful potted plants - particularly perfect for al fresco lunches, a pre-dinner drink on a summer's evening, or lazy mornings with coffee and the newspapers! It has a table and chairs, and a large parasol for very hot days.

Location

The holiday cottage is just 500 yards from the town, where you'll find a wide range of interesting shops and galleries to browse around, plus a Waitrose supermarket (open 7 days), several pubs, cafes, and an award-winning restaurant.
A Farm Shop, selling a wide range of local produce, is just 1 mile out of town - plus there are several regular Farmers' Markets held locally.
There are also very good country pubs in the outlying villages, serving real ales and home-cooked food, plus several excellent gastro-pubs in the area for the gourmet.
Ideal base for exploring the unspoilt Suffolk countryside and the county's popular towns, villages and attractions during a summer holiday or a winter break.
Within 30 mins drive of the sandy beach, pier, harbour and Adnams brewery at Southwold; the popular coastal town of Aldeburgh; the pretty riverside town of Woodbridge; the castles at Framlingham and Orford... there is so much to see and do in the area, you'll want to come back time and time again.
Several National Trust and English Heritage sites nearby - including castles, country houses, and beautiful gardens.
Wine-tasting, clay-pigeon shooting, food fayres, antiques fairs, art exhibitions, literature & poetry festivals, plus many popular events locally.
