Boatmans, Cooks Hill, Letheringham, Suffolk, England - Sleeps 3

Picture postcard pretty, Boatmans is a true Suffolk gem with lots of romantic classic charm throughout. Whilst it offers the convenience of a ground floor bedroom and bathroom for those with limited mobility, it is worth noting that there are a number of steps between living rooms. Most rooms offer lovely views of the river and surrounding woodland, allowing you to fully immerse yourself within the tranquility of the setting.

Accommodation comprises:

A pathway takes you via the patio into the cottage with a step up into the conservatory.

Ground floor

• Conservatory with table and chairs for dining, sofa, armchair and bench. A lovely place to relax with your morning coffee or supper whilst looking out over the river. The conservatory has a radiator keeping it warm all year round and opens out onto the patio area with table and chairs - a peaceful sun-trap for alfresco dining when the weather is fine.
• Country kitchen with painted wooden units, microwave, fridge/freezer, electric eye-level double oven, hob with extractor over and breakfast table which seats four. There is also a washing machine in the owner's outside wash room guests can use if required.
• Off the kitchen is the single bedroom with a window that looks into the conservatory.
• Steps take you up into the sitting room with beams on the ceiling and comfy seating set around the brick fireplace with multi-fuel stove. A great place to relax in front of the flickering flames watching a film on the television (DVD and CD player provided for entertainment).
• There is also a front porch where roses grow during the warmer months which provides access into the sitting room and space to store boots and coats.
• Fabulous beamed bathroom with roll top bath for a long soak, large shower cubicle with power shower, WC, bidet and wash basin.

First floor

• Spacious beamed bedroom with super-king size bed, television and DVD player. Wake up to fabulous uninterrupted views over the river and surrounding countryside.

Outside: Off-road parking is available on the driveway. The sunny patio provides the perfect place for alfresco dining, and there is a large garden (with lawn) leading to the river where you can relax. Shrubs and plants add to the charm and there are trees for shade in hot weather. The surrounding Suffolk countryside provides excellent opportunities for walkers. A 'rustic' shed can be used for bike storage and fishing tackle.

Additional information: Seven night bookings normally taken. However, the owner will try to be flexible with changeover days, and offer short breaks between the months of November and March when three night minimum breaks are offered (outside of school/bank holidays). Sorry but no pets and no children under six due to the close waterside location. Prices include oil fired central heating, fire fuel (as well as charcoal if needed for the BBQ), WiFi, bed linen, electricity and towels. A generous welcome pack is provided which will include a gift card that can be used to gain entry for two adults into the RSPB Minsmere Reserve or used in the gift shop for RSPB members, or (depending on your choice at the point of booking) a day pass allowing you access into the sauna, steam room, gym, Jacuzzi, swimming pool and running track at Ufford Park. Tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine are included in the welcome pack.

Boatmans is the owner's much loved holiday home. Presented to a high standard throughout, with a great deal of care and attention taken to preserve the natural charm of the property, lots of thoughtful touches ensure a pleasurable and memorable stay.
