About this cottage rental
Remote, idyllic spot to escape from the city. Ideal for a family or a group of friends who enjoy nature, walking, birdwatching or cycling.
The Blue Parrot is spacious, bright and homely. You have a big living room with views of the River, a dining area, a big front garden just next to the riverfront, and a smaller back garden, which looks onto Bawdsey Manor.
You can enjoy walks on the beach, or follow one of the many walking trails that start near the house. (Please see photo attached). Bawdsey Manor is an amazing building that you can see from the beach or from the back garden of the house. Woodbrigde is 12 miles away and is a nice, charming town, where you can enjoy going to a restaurant or a cafe, or do some shopping.
Please note that you will need a car to move around easily, or you can just relax, go for walks in the countryside or cycle. :) There is a village shop and friendly pub in Alderton, 3 miles from the house. It might be a good idea to bring your own supplies depending on how long you are intending to stay. If during your stay you feel like going into town, Woodbridge is a great option; it has a full range of amenities and is 12 miles (a 20-minute drive) away. From April to October you can also cross over to Felixstowe by a passenger ferry. (see photo attached for timetable)

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2023
The property is in a beautiful location, with plenty of space, natural light and fantastic views over the estuary. Kitchen is fairly well equipped but some of the crockery, glasses and utensils needed washing before use. General cleanliness wasn't great but the bed linen was clean and seating was comfortable. Large lounge diner was good for family use. This is a great place to escape to enjoy wildlife and botany.

Windows needed cleaning. Toilet takes too long to fill after flushing. Kitchen cabinet door fell off. No where to put our food away.nNeeds new shower. Porch needs cleaning and some windows are not clear even when clean. However, the location is superb
