About this house rental
A BRICK BARN CONVERTED INTO A STUNNING COTTAGE IN THE MOST FABULOUS OF SETTINGS.
Willow Cottage is a converted brick farm building set in its own grounds on the bank of a large, traditional Suffolk farm pond – a highlight of staying here is sitting on the decking, watching the sun set through the trees whilst admiring the various water fowl and birds around the pond. Maybe it is just possible to hear the occasional tractor driving along our country lane (some 50 metres away) but otherwise all is peace and tranquility.
Immediately outside the Cottage’s entrance gate is a bridleway with links to an extensive network of well marked public footpaths across the adjoining fields with stunning views over miles of unspoilt Suffolk countryside. There is also a well-worn path in the other direction to our local pub!
RSPB Minsmere and our Heritage Coast beaches at towns such as Aldeburgh and Southwold are about half-an-hour’s drive away. As the saying goes ‘so much to do….’!
LOCATION
The Cottage is in the grounds of White House Farm on the edge of the peaceful village of Badingham. It has the benefit of easy access and parking.
Badingham’s pub, The White Horse is less than a mile away: it enjoys an excellent reputation for both food and craft beers, has spacious outdoor seating and is a great place to spend a summer’s evening. The nearest shop is a Co-Op in the larger village of Laxfield some three miles away.
Framlingham is ten minutes away and is our vibrant local market town with a broad range of shops including a large supermarket, two petrol stations, eateries and coffee shops etc. Market days are on Tuesdays and Saturdays. It is also home to English Heritage’s Framlingham Castle and an impressive Parish Church.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Willow Cottage. We had a friendly welcome and our hosts even helped us to unload our luggage from the car! We had some lovely edible gifts and the cottage was warm and welcoming - on a chilly day. The cottage was clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Had a good week att the willows which was very clean and well prepared. The property is situated in beautiful surroundings which were very quiet and ideal for watching nature. Our only problem was car parking not very close to property when we arrived but Tina and her husband were on holiday. When they returned all problems were resolved and we had access right up to and very close to the bungalow. Would not hesitate to return at a later date. Lovelly property and people.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2024
Ideal location for touring, close enough to coast and central villages.
Willow cottage has everything you need in a peaceful tranquil setting, the deck overlooking the pond a nice place to sit back with glass or two after touring each day.
Only draw back were the bugs off pond be sure to take insect repellent.
