2 bedroom Cottage near Colchester, Suffolk, England

The scenic village of East Bergholt is nestled in the heart of Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you not only benefit from scenic walks and foodie pubs on your doorstep, but you also have a host of local attractions to suit all ages and tastes within easy reach. The famous Colchester Zoo is a wonderful fun-filled family day out and is just 15 miles away and there’s fun to be had at Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park, less than 10 miles away. Bird watchers will enjoy a visit to RSPB Flatford Garden Nature Reserve which is just 2 miles away and the beautiful coast is within 18 miles, perfect for a day at the seaside.

Upon entering this wonderfully presented Scandinavian-style lodge, you will be greeted by a modern and open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner which boasts gorgeous views out to the Dedham Vale through the bi-fold doors which span the front of the property. A lovely social space, it has everything you need to entertain friends and family with comfort and style. The chef amongst you will enjoy preparing hearty meals in the sleek kitchen, which features an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, coffee machine, dishwasher and washing machine. The dining table comfortably seats four guests, giving you the perfect spot to grab some breakfast, a light lunch or dinner while you talk about the adventures ahead with loved ones. The lounge is a lovely spot to relax after a tiring day, with a comfortable sofa and chairs that surround a wood burner. The sizeable Smart TV allows you to stream or watch your favourite shows with the sunset providing a perfect backdrop. There are two bedrooms; the master bedroom has a double bed with bedside tables, chest of drawers and a coat rack to hang your more formal garments, and the second bedroom has twin beds (which can be made into a king size on request), again with drawers and a coat rack, making this property ideal for a small family or two couples. The family bathroom has a bath, separate shower and WC, so why not revitalise your senses after a good night's sleep before heading out to explore the local area and beyond?

Set within peaceful countryside, having a partly enclosed garden with hedging you couldn't find a better spot to enjoy your freshly ground morning coffee and breakfast, either al fresco on the terrace with the table and chairs provided, or in the comfort of the lodge. With the sunset in the background you'll be able to sink into the hot tub recuperating after a day of fun and excitement. There is off-road private allocated parking for up to two cars.
