About this cottage rental
Yew Tree Cottage is a 16th Century timber framed cottage attached to a working small holding with sheep and chickens in quiet rural location.
Sleeps five in two bedrooms, both en-suite, with views over the countryside. There is also a fold out double sofa bed in lounge for those who cannot manage steep stairs. There is a cot that can be erected in either bedroom. The cottage has central heating, with a wood burner in the lounge too. You also have use of the owners heated indoor pool.
Dogs are welcomed, provided you can keep to some rules; which are to protect our animals, ensure your dog is safe and you can enjoy your stay. We ask that your dog is kept on a lead when outside as we have sheep, cats and chickens, and the garden is not fully enclosed. Your furry friend must sleep on their own bed downstairs, and must not be allowed on the furniture or upstairs.
The cottage is an ideal base to explore medieval churches, Framlingham Castle, Woodbridge Tide Mill, Saxstead Mill, Snape Maltings, Minsmere Bird Sanctuary and much more. The seaside resorts of Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Felixstowe are all within 1-1.5 hour journey plus many local attractions such as Fynn Valley Golf Course at Witnesham, Easton Farm Park and Stonham Barns which has an Owl Sanctuary, Golf Course, Teapot manufacturer, shops, garden centre and cafe.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We had such a wonderful stay at Pauline and Norman’s gorgeous cottage. The countryside setting is absolutely beautiful, with a lovely garden all around that made it feel so peaceful and relaxing.Our boys especially loved feeding the chickens each morning and playing on the swing in the garden. It was also such a treat watching the sheep grazing in the field each day. Pauline and Norman were fantastic hosts, they showed us around when we arrived and made us feel so welcome straight away.The private pool was a huge hit with the kids (especially with the inflatables we brought along!), and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed cooking in the evenings and spending time together playing board games.It’s a great base for exploring too, we loved visiting Southwold and Framlingham, including the castle.All in all, it was a really lovely, wholesome weekend and we’ve already booked to come back. We’re looking forward to it already!

Yew Tree Cottage was living 'Escape to the Country'. The accommodation was warm, comfortable and well equipped. Pauline and Norman are gracious hosts, and the use of the immaculate indoor pool is a marvelous bonus. Also, lovely countryside, plenty to do within a 30-to-45-minute drive, and a great pub with excellent food a mile away.

We loved our stay at Yew Tree cottage. It is so quiet and peaceful and the owners are lovely and friendly. Our children loved the pool and the sheep and chickens. We would love to come back soon!

Very nice cottage. A few things to mention though. We had to wash anything we took from the kitchen cupboards. Weak pressure for shower top floor (great shower next to swimming pool). Restrictions on dogs could be mentioned up front. And our final evening was spoiled by a dog in the main house that barked non-stop for two hours. Once again however, a charming cottage in a good location.
