The Old Steam Mill

The Old Steam Mill is accessed along a private drive up to the ridge of the hill with magnificent views of the Suffolk countryside with steep valley’s on both sides, there is a private car park outside and beside the cottage.

From the front door you enter directly into the sitting room with its large sofas, cosy log burner and colourful rugs. To the left is a dining area and kitchen and small hallway to the back door.

To the right is a large bedroom with a king size bed, en-suite with a luxury walk in shower and loo and a dressing room. You can walk straight out of this bedroom onto a sunny Breakfast patio beside a pond and the mature gardens.

Between the sitting room and dining area is an open staircase leading to a landing area with a sofa – a lovely sunny place to read. A few steps up takes you to the spacious second king size bedroom, here there is a single truckle bed for a 5th guest – because of the lack of privacy and it being a single bed it is only suitable for a child (Children must be aged 8 or over)

The upstairs bedroom also has a lovely en-suite bathroom – the bath is oversized and has a hand held shower.

French doors lead out to a large balcony with sofas, a table and chairs and lighting for you to enjoy the beautiful views over the valley and really unwind.

The owners are happy to accept dogs but they do have a young cat wandering around, so please only bring your dog if it’s cat friendly! Thank you.

For owners of Electric Cars, this cottage has a Type 2 Socket which is completely universal and allows you to charge any type of vehicle using the appropriate Charging Cable – if you wish to make use of this facility while you stay here  there is a one off charge of £50, please call us to add this to your booking.
