a lovely place

We had a very good break. The property is all you need -- didn't turn on the tv once, just sat in the conservatory in the evenings and watched the wild life. This in an excellent place to recharge your batteries.

Perfect little retreat

A wonderful little cottage that was cleverly designed and decorated. It was peaceful and tranquil and ideal spot to watch birds and wildlife from the conservatory whilst having breakfast. Useful information provided about local tourist spots and the history of the cottage and village. A very enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Jane Parry

Host profile image
Life-long lovers of Suffolk, Jane and Paul moved to the area over twelve years ago. It was the amazing variety of landscape that drew them – from wild, never-ending shore lines and estuaries, to wetlands teeming with wild life. Time-warped little villages off the beaten track sit in lush hedgerow- lined country and flower rich meadows. There is art, music and theatre aplenty for those who need a change from field and beach. Come and stay in their small (but perfectly formed!) and beautifully appointed Beck Cottage Studio in one such lovely village. It‘s perfect for a short break or a week or two at any time of the year. Our cottage is adjacent to the Studio and we take great pleasure in greeting our guests where possible. We are on hand should the need arise.

Why they chose this property

We love the history of our house and Studio and living in this delightful rural village. No.33 formed part of the village smithy with No.32, Forge House, Old Forge Cottage and dates back to the late 18th and early 19th century. Part of our house was at one time a shop and sold petrol. We enjoy the lovely walks here.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing in the conservatory looking out over trees and fields watching the wild life. A small, friendly village with interesting walks through pretty countryside and an ancient church. Our local pub, the Wissett Plough, is now the Jungle Room, a welcoming cafe and bar open at weekends 9.30-3pm.
