Findley Cottage Retreat is an exclusive and unique 4 bedroom spacious, 18th century period holiday cottage with its own private established garden, driveway, car port and ample parking area.
Located in The Suffolk Coast and Heaths area of outstanding natural beauty, an ideal holiday break for walkers, cyclists, sailing, fishing enthusiasts, wild life, birdwatchers and horse riders.
Ideally situated to excellent road links to historic towns and villages. Two and half miles from Manningtree Train Station : Only 1 hr by train to London City. Ipswich town and station is only 15 minutes by car, or there is the local bus. Local taxi available to and from airports or the local station.
The cottage is only within a few minutes walking distance from Alton Water Leisure, with its scenic views, wildlife and water sports; whilst walking in the other direction takes you to the Stour estuary, where one can breathe in the sea air, fish, ride or enjoy the bird life and perhaps even take a cruise from Ipswich, taking in the beautiful sights and local interest along the River Stour and Orwell.
We are closely situated to Dedham and Flatford made famous by John Constable, the artist, who resided in East Bergholt. Just 10 minutes away by car, is the small quaint town of Manningtree with its train station. Twenty five minutes by car takes you either to the seaside towns of Harwich, Essex or into Felixstowe town, Suffolk.
Also within walking distance are the local village pubs and restaurants, who offer delicious home cooked food.
We can also offer alternative therapies and holistic treatments by our experienced therapist in the grounds of the retreat (please book in advance).
