About this apartment rental

Located in Clare, the lovely Gothic House Cottage is part of a Grade II listed building, and has the benefit of an open and airy extension overlooking the garden whilst retaining the cosy cottage feel. A perfect base from which to explore the rich heritage of West Suffolk, with the added bonus of the use of an outdoor, heated swimming pool and grass tennis court in the warmer months.

The cottage is situated opposite the imposing Church of St Peter and St Paul in Clare, which sits in the Upper Stour Valley. It is ideally placed, just a five minute walk from the shops, restaurants and pubs in Clare and within walking distance of the Country Park, where the remains of Clare Castle stand. With so much on the doorstep, you can park the car up for your stay until it's time to head home.

The ground floor of the cottage has an open and airy living space with a large dining kitchen and garden room with floor to ceiling windows providing lovely views over the extensive garden at the rear. The sitting room has an electric, living flame stove to gather around when night time draws in. Upstairs, both bedrooms overlook the church and have the choice of the first floor bathroom with separate shower, or the ground floor shower room. Bedroom two has the flexibility of a super-king size bed which can be separated into twin single beds on request.

Outside, a small, enclosed garden and courtyard has access to a shed to store bicycles if you fancy exploring the local countryside on two wheels; along with use of an additional, larger garden beyond. The outdoor, heated swimming pool is available for the use of guests from late May until early September by reserving it with the homeowners. There is also a grass tennis court which although not by any means Wimbledon championship standard, guests are welcome to use and enjoy as well, again normally from June throughout till September.

Additional Information:
One small well behaved dog welcome (small additional charge) - please indicate the breed of dog when prompted on the booking form.
Infants welcome, however only a stair gate is available on request.

Lovely cottage enhanced by beautiful weather. Roadside parking could be a problem in busy season but there is a large public car park in the village. My only gripe was the difficulty getting assistance from the rental company when we arrived which was very annoying. Hope to revisit soon.

Gothic House Cottage is a beautiful home in a beautiful town. We really enjoyed looking out at the garden at breakfast, and hearing endless birdsong instead of traffic noise. The children went in the pool every day and we played games around the huge garden which the owners kindly share with their guests. The house has everything you need for a week, all the kitchen essentials and plenty of comfy seating. The town is small and friendly and the Globe pub, just a couple of minutes away, is very welcoming and has great beer. Clare is perfectly placed for day trips to the beach at Southwold, and the circular walks around Clare itself are nicely put together. A wonderful place for a relaxing break!

Super week with generous and thoughtful hosts in a very pleasant cottage. Clare itself has everything you might need even without a car and there’s excellent walking locally. If you’re a light sleeper bring ear plugs as the church bells do sound through the night.

We were really pleased with our stay at Gothic Cottage in Clare, Suffolk. The cottage was well equipped and there was sufficient crockery to make use of the dishwasher. The beds were comfy and the bedding really soft and smooth. The showers were easy to use. The out look over the garden was delightful. We used the swimming pool but not the tennis court as the weather meant the grass court might be too slippy for 70+ year olds. We found Clare an ideal spot. We managed different days out without travelling more than twenty miles. Suffolk is a pretty county with lots of historical interest and roads that were quiet and not too busy. There were plenty of local walks around the village. The local Coop and butchers were sufficient for our food needs and almost on the doorstop. Even the chiming church clock was fairly quiet! Our hosts were friendly and helpful. We are more than happy to recommend a holiday here.

A very enjoyable and relaxing week in the smallest market town in Suffolk. The cottage was delightful with beautiful views across the large back garden. No parking on site but we were always lucky to find roadside parking along by the cottage. Pubs and takeaways are within walking distance and there are plenty of local walks. After the first day you become familiar with the chimes from the Church clock and although the cottage is on the main road through the town, any traffic noise was not a problem. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be more than happy to return.
