Rose Cottage is a really lovely Romantic Cottage with its big log fire but slightly less expensive than our normal rate for 'Couple only Cottages'. Rose Cottage is a very welcoming place to come home to after exploring Suffolk's beautiful countryside and tiny Medieval villages.
This Self Catering holiday cottage was once part of the early 1700's dairy and the front of the building is built in the unique ‘soldier’ style of bricking and forms part of the large double-quadrangle that is the old Grove Farm where I am based and where my other 5 cottages are that makes up the Old Grove Farm: This is where it all started and where the template for all the cottages on my website was developed !
Rose Cottage is single storey with lots of light and overlooks a small sunny herb garden & breakfast patio, as well as leading directly out to the orchard gardens.
It is an ideal little getaway, being a romantic and cosy single storey cottage sleeping a couple with large gardens to roam in, ample off road parking, lovely countryside walks straght from the cottage, cycle routes running past the cottage, and the prettiest of Suffolk famous Medieval Villages like Lavenham, Long Melford, Polsted and Nayland surrounding it.
We are just outside a tiny hamlet and three fields away from The Edwardstone 'White Horse' our local CAMRA Pub which also brews its own excellent Cider and Beer and puts them to good use on its live music nights.
You can enter the cottage from the orchard front garden or from the sunny herb garden that you see below, the main room has a beautiful old wood floor, an impressively high vaulted wooden ceiling with pretty old soft redbrick walls, distressed pink lime washed lime plaster and a lovely big raised log fire, at the far end there is a well appointed hand crafted kitchen with a belfast sink and oak work tops.
Beyond this is a cosy bedroom and and bathroom with a massive easy access shower.
Cleverly placed external and internal windows make this a sunny cottage and bring light into every room.
This Cottage also has benefits for those who need single storey accomodation because of moderate limited mobility, inso far as it is all one one level, the shower is big and easy to get into and we can arragnge for you to park in the inner courtyard so you can step right onto the footpath leading to Snow Cottage - please do call us to discuss this further and we can also supply you with a set of access dimensions and step heights.
There are bicycles freely available to guests and you can even hire one of my Canoes to explore the lovely river Stour where Constable painted 'The Haywain'
Guests to Snow Cottage, Rose Cottage and Dons Barn walk through a small small sunny herb garden to reach their front doors. We have put a breakfast table there for these guests to use and the herbs are also there to be used.
The Herb Garden - Photo taken in December from Snow Cottage looking at Rose Cottage and the inner courtyard.
Along with 'The Old Monkey' and 'Primrose Cottage' this is a slightly more affordable option but where you can still stay in style and enjoy Suffolks hidden treasures.

Sunday, 5th of July, 2009, Bryn and Julia:
There can't be many places where you can have a relaxing holiday with a lively 11 month old, but the pretty, peaceful cottages, and the attention to detail here, have helped to relax-although the baby is still lively!

Friday, 8th of August, 2008, Peter & Marion:
Rose Cottage is so peaceful, romantic and relaxing - it is often too much trouble to venture outside. If you do mange to tear yourself away - the Suffolk countryside and picture perfect towns are sure to inspire. I've never seen such pretty cottages before. Warm, friendly atmosphere - just what's needed to unwind and relax ! We've never felt so relaxed and tranquil for ages
Thursday, 7th of August, 2008, Tim & Paula:
Absolute tranquility in one of the loveliest corners of the UK! This is the best cottage we have ever stayed in. A real 'cottage' not a holiday home. The dogs also loved it here!!

Wednesday, 4th of June, 2008, Graham, Fiona & baby Jack:
After just a few hours, you feel like you're living in your own country cottage. Everything you could possibly want is provided with the cottage, or available from Mark. All this makes a trip to The Grove Cottages a 'No Effort' break. Thank you!
Wednesday, 4th of June, 2008, Angela & Clive:

Thursday, 16th of December, 2004, Dave & Patricia:
Our only complaint is that 3 days is not enough! Relaxed, easy going, peaceful atmosphere and mercifully free of boutique hotel attitude (weve had bad experiences!). Charm and luxury without fuss.
Tuesday, 12th of October, 2004, Steve & Liz:
Squashy bed and sofa, open fire, quiet roads, deer roaming the fields, great pubs serving real ale. Cant wait to come back weve had a fabulous time!

We were looking for something special and we found it! Thank you very much.

Friday, 14th of May, 2004, Liz & Dewole:
We had a lovely time, the surroundings were beautiful, calm and relaxing, we could have stayed forever. Mark made it really easy for us to find things to do and visit nice places.

Kate.

Wednesday, 1st of January, 2003, Charlie & Simon:
Hello Mark, Thanks for your newsletter with regards to your winter offers ...Unfortunately we probably wont be staying with you this year because, after we had such a wonderful time here early last year, we have moved here! In fact, we are sort-of neighbours; we live on school corner, the other side of grove field to you. So, this is really just to say hi. Regards Charlie & Simon
Saturday, 7th of December, 2002, Michael & Wendy:

Monday, 14th of October, 2002, Bridget & David:
I dont know what was more heavenly: stretching out on the leather sofa watching lazy Sunday afternoon movies in Snow Cottage or burning up in front of the log fire in Rose Cottage. These Cottages have serious style (and bed linen and showers to die for). Hip Hotels eat your heart out. Well be back Thank you.
An idyllic cottage, beautiful location & wonderful breakfasts! It’s nice to find somewhere that dogs are welcome.
Monday, 25th of March, 2013, James & Sarah:

Somewhere I would definitely recommend to other to stay.

Sunday, 5th of July, 2009, Bryn and Julia:
There can't be many places where you can have a relaxing holiday with a lively 11 month old, but the pretty, peaceful cottages, and the attention to detail here, have helped to relax-although the baby is still lively!

Having just been proposed to I didnt think the weekend could get much better. This cottage was a fabulous surprise - It is beautifully renovated in a rustic style but with all the mod-cons you need for amazing comfort. The surrounding area has beautiful walks and amazing country pubs - couldnt get much better for a romantic weekend away from London. I highly recommend the place to anyone - you wont be disappointed. Kate.

We cannot remember a better holiday and will be returning every year. Need we say more?

We have enjoyed ourselves immensely. We have escaped many times from London but the attention to detail here makes this the best short break we have ever taken.

Hello Mark, Thanks for your newsletter with regards to your winter offers ...Unfortunately we probably wont be staying with you this year because, after we had such a wonderful time here early last year, we have moved here! In fact, we are sort-of neighbours; we live on school corner, the other side of grove field to you. So, this is really just to say hi. Regards Charlie & Simon

Warm, Welcoming & Wonderful Walks ! So good to find somewhere that well behaved dogs are welcomed even encouraged. A truly relaxing Winter weekend !

The weekend was everything I had hoped it would be and more. I hated to leave and have found myself sitting at my desk daydreaming about being back! Beautiful surroundings, so peaceful after the noise of London - just a wonderful place to be! I am coming back again soon!

Stylish. Cosy. Comfortable. Unique. Beautiful Surroundings... are just a few words that we can think of to describe this gorgeous cottage. We will be back !!

I dont know what was more heavenly: stretching out on the leather sofa watching lazy Sunday afternoon movies in Snow Cottage or burning up in front of the log fire in Rose Cottage. These Cottages have serious style (and bed linen and showers to die for). Hip Hotels eat your heart out. Well be back Thank you.
