The setting for Grove Cottages

The grove farmhouse is situated right in the heart of rural Suffolk in the middle of beautiful open countryside. Small pretty villages nestle in the river valleys on all sides, these include the beautiful and perfectly preserved mediaeval villages of: -

Lavenham – once an important ‘Wool Town’ with its legacy of grand rural Architecture.

Long Melford – a famous Antique hunters paradise with two Stately Homes, Kentwell Hall & Melford Hall, both open to the public.

Kersey – the original ‘Old English Village’ with the ford in the highstreet.

Chelsworth – famous for its village ‘open-garden’ weekends.

And many others like the Eleigh's, Bildeston, Boxford, Bures and Nayland.

England’s Greatest Landscape Painter, John Constable painted all his famous paintings along the river valley of The Stour, which runs just a couple of miles from the Cottages to the sea.

The Grove and its outhouses, a dairy, a bakery, haylofts and a farm workers cottage all date back to the early 17-hundreds and originally belonged to an ancient long-lost mansion. The farm is designed in an interesting enclosed, double quadrangle, giving hints of a possible monastic history.

The large mature gardens surrounding the property can be enjoyed by all guests for relaxing in or having a barbecue on a nice summer's evening. The gardens lead straight onto open farmland.

The Grove Cottages have been created out of the old farm outhouses, these being attached to the main farmhouse and arranged around the two central courtyards offer you privacy in a secluded and safe setting.
