Wonderful house

We really enjoyed our stay at this thatched house near Bury St.Edmunds and we found so much to do in the area that our week-long stay passed very quickly. We particularly enjoyed the comfortable bed and the perfect garden, enjoying several meals at the outside table. An very unusual place that we were fascinated by was Grimes Graves, a Neolithic flint mine.

Wonderful Property

What more could you ask for! Stunning property with everything you could need. Bedding and towels were luxurious, open fire made the living area very cosy, the garden was great for the children to play in -as was the green opposite the cottage. Tracy was extremely helpful throughout. We will definitely be back.

Great stay

An excellent place to stay to explore the area. The property is well equipped and spotless. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Lovely welcome basket on arrival which was great after our long journey. We could buy fresh eggs every morning, which was a treat!

Beautiful Cottage In A Peaceful Village

Set in a quiet peaceful village with beautiful garden and a variety of sitting out areas yet only 5 miles out of historic Bury. Good on drive parking. When entering the cottage it was clear how well kept the cottage is and how clean clearly keeping to COVID guidelines. There was a welcome basket in the kitchen and various information sent before arrival. The map of West Stow Country Park very helpful. It is also well worth visiting Fuller Mill garden. The latter 2 are quite near the cottage. Please be aware that there is a steep step in the bathroom before getting to bath and toilet and a steep step into the lounge. There is a large twin room upstairs, double is on ground floor. However, you need to be quite agile to use the stairs.

About the host

Hosted by Tracy Kennedy

Hi! I'm Tracy, having moved to Bury St Edmunds in 2014, I spent time renovating our cottage and starting hosting guests in 2017. Having worked in customer service for over 30 years, I always enjoy meeting wonderful guests from all over the world.
I have a passion for baking and making preserves with fruit from our garden. Love nothing better than being outdoors in the garden and enjoying countryside walk in the surrounding area.

Why they chose this property

Our cottage is a quintessential thatched cottage overlooking the village green. I fell in love with the area as soon as I saw it. It is a beautiful village set within the Suffolk countryside and within walking distance to Kings Forest, Culford Park, West Stow Country Park and river walks.
The historical town of Bury St Edmunds is only 10 minutes drive away and is super for a day out with it's wonderful shops/market and array of restaurants and cafe's.

What makes this property unique

6 The Green dates back to 1640 and has a wealth of original beams. It was originally a workers cottage for the Hengrave Estate and is now the only thatched property on the village green.
