Please note that this is a tiny cottage and 2 adults and 2 children would just squeeze in but an extra crawling 'baby' would be too much - so if you are filling it to the maximum, baby means a 'non crawling baby' and you are still really squeezed.
Please note that this cottage has a steep winding staircase and only the able bodied should consider it.
Situated on the main road between the A12 & pretty coastal town of Aldeburgh, Cissy's Cottage is close to Snape and The Snape Maltings Music and Arts Centre.
This is a very romantic restoration of a 17th Century Millers cottage in a Regency Row situated beside a Nature Reserve through which you can walk to the Sea Side.
Cissy's Cottage cottage has a beautiful interior where every original historic feature has been cherished and carefully restored, with many lovely additions by its antique hunting owners.
There is a pretty old cobbled courtyard with an original working water pump were you can take breakfast in the sun under the flowering wisteria and from which you enter the small but practical galley kitchen with its glazed stable door, this leads through into a hall and the open plan dining area.
To the left of the hall is a pretty bathroom with a Victorian roll top bath on ball and claw feet, beside it is the steep winding staircase that shows the age of the cottage - for those guests who are less than able bodied this is not a cottage to choose but for the rest it is just another beautiful feature.
To the right of the small hall is a nice lounge with its stable door windows and gorgeous wood panelled walls.
The floor of the lounge is made of original Suffolk White bricks with a large antique rug to keep you cosy as you marvel at the amazing ancient kitchen Range which dates back to the 1700's and you can still light and enjoy. modern attractions like the TV etc are discretely masked by placing them inside the cupboarded bread ovens that are built into the chimney of this room.

Upstairs you come into a twin bedded room and then through that into the master bedroom with a pretty canopy over the bed - this is a pretty common arrangement in these very old houses and listing prevents any other layout.
Straight from the courtyard of Cissy's there are wonderful walks directly into a beautiful Nature Reserve and onwards to Snape where the famous Snape Malting's Arts, Crafts and Music Centre is or the Tunstall Forest of UFO fame or round the lakes to Aldeburgh which is one of England prettiest and unspoilt seaside towns.

This cluster of buildings is is where The owners live and where they have created the 3 beautiful cottages:Cissy's Cottage, Queenies Cottage and Laundry Cottage which was listed in The Sunday Times 'Coolest 100 Holiday Cottages'.
