"If those who visit these houses get a fraction of the enjoyment that I have experienced during their renovation, their stay will be magical and unforgettable." Nestled in Suffolk's enchanting countryside, we've spent the last few years meticulously restoring two medieval, Grade II* cottages in idyllic Kersey. They offer a perfect blend of history, charm and modern comforts for an unforgettable retreat. We love welcoming guests to share the magic of our cottages, along with all the charming extras the Suffolk countryside has to offer.
Nestled in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, Kersey is a picture-perfect village that feels like stepping back in time. With its cobbled streets, medieval timber-framed cottages, and the iconic ford that gently ripples through the main street, Kersey offers a tranquil and romantic escape from the everyday. Surrounded by rolling hills and walking trails, it’s ideal for leisurely strolls, cosy pub lunches, and soaking in the charm of rural England. Whether you're a history lover, nature seeker, or simply looking to unwind, Kersey is the perfect spot for a peaceful and memorable short break.
