About this property

Country Cottage Set In pretty Suffolk village with 2 local pubs, dog friendly

Relax at this unique and tranquil getaway. Designed on a single level, it features one bedroom, a well-appointed shower room, and a cosy living, kitchen, and dining space. The accommodation also boasts a small private outdoor patio, with table and chairs and a barbecue, providing a delightful space to relax. Also available for guests is a large grassed area to relax in the evening sun, or make use of the provided sun loungers to soak up the rays.

Pet-friendly, the cottage is ideally positioned in Ufford, with two outstanding village pubs a short stroll away. The charming, historic market town of Woodbridge is only 10 minutes away. with table and chairs and a barbecue.

I am happy to welcome parents with children and, for infants, can provide a travel-cot with bedding and towels and a highchair. I also have a sofa bed in the bedroom for an older child or extra guest and would provide an extra dining chair. Let me know if you require these and I will set them up before your arrival.

Ufford has two very good pubs in the village, The Ufford White Lion and The Ufford Crown, both only a few minutes' walk away from the cottage. There are also some lovely countryside walks to be found on the doorstep.

The Unruly Pig, winner for the third year of the Top 50 Gastropubs Award, is only 5 minutes drive away.

Only 3 miles from the town of Woodbridge, voted the happiest place to live in a poll by Rightmove in 2024, this beautiful market town has a large choice of pubs, restaurants, shops and coffee shops, as well as riverside walks. The archaeological site of Sutton Hoo is also on the doorstep. About 30 minutes' drive to the beaches, shops and restaurants in Southwold and Aldeburgh. Close to golf courses, fishing lakes and popular bird watching spots, Ufford is perfectly situated to be able to explore Suffolk.

About the host

Hosted by Christina Cooke

Host profile image
Nestled in the heart of picturesque countryside and surrounded by quaint market and seaside towns, Potts Cottage is more than just a destination; it's a home away from home. Allow me to introduce myself and share a glimpse into the charm that awaits you.

I'm Christina Cooke, and my family and I reside just next door to Potts Cottage. Alongside my husband, James, and our delightful daughter, Madeleine, we've transformed this space into a haven for those seeking tranquility and relaxation. My mum, Ann, resides in the lovingly crafted annexe.

Our family extends to include two furry companions – Milo, the well-behaved Labrador, and Frankie, our mischievous yet endearing cat.

In 2011, we undertook a journey to enhance the comfort of our cottage. The annexe, skilfully converted from barns, became a cosy extension of our haven. We also took the opportunity to update the living area of Potts Cottage, creating a space that blends modern comfort with the timeless charm of the countryside. A new bedroom and shower room were added to ensure your stay is not only delightful but also convenient.

As a professional gardener, I put a lot of love and care into creating outdoor spaces that offer beauty and interest throughout the year. Whether it’s the vibrant blooms of spring, the lush greenery of summer, or the rich colours of autumn and winter, I aim to provide a garden that feels just as inviting as the cottage itself.

As your host, my passion lies in ensuring that your holiday experience is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment you step through the door, you'll find a carefully curated space with all the amenities needed for a wonderful stay. Whether you're exploring the scenic countryside, strolling through charming market towns, or relaxing by the seaside, Potts Cottage provides the perfect base for your adventures.

So, let Potts Cottage be the canvas for your cherished memories. I look forward to hosting you and making your stay truly unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

My mum bought the house in 1983 as she fell in love with the village of Lower Ufford and it was closer to my school and her friends than she had previously lived. The house itself is set within a large garden which is where my mum spends the majority of her time and it is right at the heart of the village but on a no-through road so it is very quiet. I work as a gardener locally but my favourite part of a week is spent weeding or planting alongside my mum in our beautiful garden.

The village has a rural and friendly feel to it but at the same time it is close to local towns and amenities. There are several long or short dog walks in the village, across the water meadows or meandering down small village roads.

What makes this property unique

Our charming cottage is strategically positioned to offer you the best of both worlds – serene walks by the sea, riverside strolls, and enchanting forest trails are just a stone's throw away. Moreover, Potts Cottage is conveniently located near major roads, making it effortless for you to access airports and train stations, allowing you to explore both the beauty of East Anglia and destinations beyond.

For those who share our family's love for travel, you'll find Potts Cottage to be an ideal starting point for adventures, both in our wonderful country and abroad.

In our quaint village, you'll discover two excellent pubs, each serving delectable local cuisine. If you prefer the comfort of your cottage, the nearby towns and villages boast several restaurants offering mouthwatering takeaways. I take pride in providing a warm welcome with a complimentary bottle of wine and biscuits, along with essential amenities like tea, coffee, and sugar for your convenience.

Restocking is a breeze with fantastic local butchers and farm shops just a short distance away. Should you need any assistance, from directions to personalized suggestions for places to visit or shop, I am always here to ensure your stay is relaxed and pleasurable.

Potts Cottage is more than a destination; it's an invitation to experience the beauty of East Anglia with all the comforts of home. I eagerly await the opportunity to host you and make your stay truly unforgettable.
