About this property
Offering peace and calm to couples wishing to enjoy idyllic views across the Stour Valley, Bell Tower Cottage is an exceptional retreat that will leave guests rested and renewed. With the Dedham Vale and nearby Lavenham only a short drive away, there's plenty on offer for those that want to explore the local area.
Comprised of a generous open-plan living area that incorporates sitting room, dining table and kitchen, there is ample space provided. The living areas are also supported by a large luxurious bedroom and master bathroom, making Bell Tower Cottage a wonderful example of a quality retreat that has been purposefully designed for a couple. With a wood burning stove in the sitting room, this bolt hole is equally comfortable in the heat of the summer as it is in the depths of a cold winter. With so much of the landscape being wooded, autumnal walks through the valley are also a tremendous pleasure. The interiors of the cottage have been beautifully curated to make the accommodation uncomplicated, yet stylish. The superb bathroom and bedroom are a match for any boutique hotel!
Outside the aspect offered in the garden gives you a view across the Stour Valley, and is bordered by the garden of the neighbouring property. From here you can enjoy a good coffee and a calm start, while looking out for visiting wildlife from the adjacent woodland. This can include woodpeckers, owls, kestrels and deer.

I had a wonderful 28-day stay in this beautifully set and thoughtfully designed property. It had absolutely everything you could need for a comfortable, relaxing break. One of my favourite daily rituals was watching the sunrise at 6.30am, coffee in hand, as the frosty morning mist lifted to the sound of birdsong â pretty special (see video).It was incredibly peaceful â the perfect place to focus and get work done, and relax after a stressful period.The shower pressure was brilliant, the bed super comfortable, and the whole place was spotless. I loved lighting the stove burner while cooking a Sunday roast, listening to a favourite podcast as pheasants and rabbits foraged on the front lawn. The blossom tree in the cottage garden was just coming into full bloom while I was there which was an unexpected joy.Jessica and Peter were fantastic hosts, and Lucy the cleaner did a great job each week â the fresh flowers she left were a thoughtful, welcoming detail.There are stunning walks from the doorstep, and Sudbury is only a short drive away. I genuinely canât think of a single negative⦠other than wishing I could have stayed longer!A big thank you for making my stay so seamless and comfortable.

We loved the cottage. It was bright and perfectly furnished and very comfortable. We loved the wall -charging torches and have ordered some to have at home. We appreciated having a bath and a walk in shower. We weren't sure how to access the wifi and the link answered our phone query. We felt the key placement was not easy for oldies like us and had we arrived in the dark, it would have been very difficult to access. The height of the hood over the hob meant that we bumped our heads and felt that was a bit dangerous. But neither the key placement nor the hood level spoiled our holiday in any way. The location was perfection for us. We loved being in easy access to so many towns and villages and houses of interest.
