Great Stay

We had a really lovely and peaceful stay at Jane and Paul’s cottage in Wissett. The place was clean, cosy, and well looked after, with everything we needed for a relaxing break.The area is quiet and surrounded by countryside, which made it easy to switch off and enjoy some proper downtime. Jane and Paul were friendly and helpful, but also gave us space to enjoy our stay.Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a calm, comfortable spot to get away for a few days.

Lovely studio with everything you need for a short stay. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with a nice outside space. It was very hot so the air con unit in the conservatory and tower fan in the main room came in handy. Wifi was good at all times,which was handy as my phone signal (3 network) was poor. Jane was very friendly and available if needed.

Fantastic, relaxing location

Jane and Mark have created a superb holiday cottage with everything that you could need. Looking out from the conservatory it’s great to see the rabbits and the bird-life. The location is quiet with a very good pub just across the quiet road. We can highly recommend the property. Chris & Roger Brooks, Wirral

quiet and comfortable little escape from the city

I enjoyed my stay. Very homely feel; comfortable bed and very quiet. I like the way it backs on to a large field with pheasants, rabbits and birds all very active. The kitchen is quite well equipped; there is a microwave, two electric rings and no proper oven, although thats probably what you would expect in a small place such as this. Thoroughly recommended, I would certainly like to return.

Perfect short break for two

This lovely little studio accommodation is ideal for a couple. Everything you need for a short stay. My wife and I enjoyed three nights and it certainly met all our needs. Loved watching the wildlife from the conservatory and 20 minutes from Minsmere and Southwold was ideal. The pub opposite proved very handy as did the 5 minute drive into Halesworth with shops, pubs and restaurants. We would recommend this to others looking for a quiet place to stay and will return when we get another opportunity.

Superb cottage studio in great location

What a fantastic cottage studio. We stayed in winter & it was so lovely & warm. Charmingly decorated & has everything you could possibly need for a break. Spotlessly clean. Good communication from owners & they didn’t disturb us but would have been available if needed. Good pub directly opposite with great food & friendly owners. We visited Southwold & Aldeburgh during our short break-both places within easy reach. Would definitely stay again

Just love Beck Cottage

We have just enjoyed our second stay at this delightful cottage which is perfect for 2 people. Spotlessly clean with lots of lovely little touches to add to both comfort and enjoyment. A beautiful view from the consevatory overlooking fields. The cottage is ideally situated for visiting this part of Suffolk with Minsmere RSPB, Dunwich Heath, Aldburgh and Southwold within short driving distance. We will be back, thank you Paul and Jane.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Jane Parry

Host profile image
Life-long lovers of Suffolk, Jane and Paul moved to the area over twelve years ago. It was the amazing variety of landscape that drew them – from wild, never-ending shore lines and estuaries, to wetlands teeming with wild life. Time-warped little villages off the beaten track sit in lush hedgerow- lined country and flower rich meadows. There is art, music and theatre aplenty for those who need a change from field and beach. Come and stay in their small (but perfectly formed!) and beautifully appointed Beck Cottage Studio in one such lovely village. It‘s perfect for a short break or a week or two at any time of the year. Our cottage is adjacent to the Studio and we take great pleasure in greeting our guests where possible. We are on hand should the need arise.

Why they chose this property

We love the history of our house and Studio and living in this delightful rural village. No.33 formed part of the village smithy with No.32, Forge House, Old Forge Cottage and dates back to the late 18th and early 19th century. Part of our house was at one time a shop and sold petrol. We enjoy the lovely walks here and sharing the pretty countryside with our guests.

What makes this property unique

Relaxing in the conservatory looking out over trees and fields watching the wild life; enjoying the tranquil setting. A small, friendly village with interesting walks through pretty countryside and an ancient church.
