Quirky Holiday Cottages in the beautiful countryside

What makes these properties so quirky?

If you are looking for a really unusual & quirky holiday cottage, somewhere really unique to escape to… Then look no further. Here at Grove Cottages we only want to offer you beautiful original character cottages, places that are just a joy to be in where you can enjoy beautiful historic features and that special cosiness that has taken hundreds of years to define and nurture.

Sink into one of our comfortable sofas, in front of an Inglenook fireplace, with old brick floors and old wattle and daub walls and daydream about the 100’s of years that people have done just that in the same place.

Amongst our range of quirky holiday cottages you can enjoy brick baking ovens, ancient brick ‘kettles’, Suffolk White brick floors, wattle and daub walls, ancient ships timbers used as support beams, beautiful broad Elm floors, hidden doorways, winding staircases, Breton Beds where the bed is hidden behind a cupboard door like a historic ships cabin and lovely original Persian rugs

All of our quirky holiday cottages have been lovingly restored to keep all of the original period features and many of them are Listed Grade I and Grade II

The Cottages

It is the history that certainly sets our quirky holiday cottages apart and Mill Cottage surely is steeped in it. With its water wheel that generates electricity, and very own pond where you can swim and row the boat, Mill Cottage really is quirky.

Amongst the nature reserve meadows that surround Mill Cottage sits a thatched hut perfect for story telling as the sun goes down.

Laundry Cottage is home to a beautiful Breton bed with some impressively carved historic sliding doors. Hidden inside it is a single bed with lights – the perfect spot for closing yourself off from the World and losing yourself in a good book. This cottage also has a lovely working Victorian Kitchen Range that guests toast crumpets on. Laundry cottage is situated 7 minutes from the seafront at the delightful town of Aldeburgh and is surrounded by its own private Nature Reserve which is a delight to meander through.

Located in Hadleigh – an ancient market town – is The Old Monkey. A tiny, but very cosy & unusual cottage. The Old Monkey sleeps two so is perfect for couples seeking a romantic break in an unusual holiday cottage. With a wealth of beams, a tiny steep staircase, lime wash walls and a beautiful open log fire, it really is an unusual holiday cottage to escape to

Cissy’s Cottage – Close to the pretty Suffolk coastal town of Aldeburgh, is Cissy’s Cottage. Cissy’s is a 17th Century Millers cottage in its own private Nature Reserve.. The cottage has a beautiful working kitchen Range in the sitting room to roast chestnuts on.

The Bakery – In the heart of Grove Farm lies The Bakery, a beautiful old bakery that accommodates two guests with beams, brick floors and 300 year old Bake oven and ‘Kettle and views into the sunset from the comfortable sofa opposite the original working fireplace . Perfect for a romantic getaway.

Rose Cottage – Rose Cottage is also part of the old Grove Farm (no longer farming) dating back to the 17th Century the cottage has masses of character, perfect for snuggling up in front of the log fire after a long day exploring Suffolk.

Queenies Cottage near Aldeburgh on the lovely Suffolk Coast: This cottage is in it’s own Private Nature reserve, it is a special treat to follow the meandering paths round the Nature Reserve and maybe walk onward to the Arts Centre and Benjamin Britten Concert Halls at Snape Maltings Art Centre and even onward to the Tunstall Forest or round the lakes to Aldeburgh

So many primroses everywhere ! A beautiful day to So many primroses everywhere ! A beautiful day to walk my daughters dog: Katie. Didn’t see a sole, just a couple of Muntjac deer and a big swan flying high up - still can’t understand how they manage to fly, I don’t think I could lift one - but they certainly make an amazing sound as they beat the air with their wings.

This is the tiny hamlet by the old Grove farm here in Suffolk.
It is such a pleasure to see the subtle changes that happen every day now to push Winter away and bring in Spring.
This bird knows just what I am talking about.
