The Water House - a house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Some houses have a certain magic about them. The Water House is one of those places.

Set quietly in the Suffolk countryside where lanes narrow, hedgerows grow tall and the world moves at a gentler pace, this enchanting thatched house feels wonderfully tucked away from it all. The river slips past the garden, the skies stretch wide above the surrounding fields, and the only real agenda here is deciding whether your next cup of tea happens inside by the fire or outside in the sunshine.

And when curiosity calls you out beyond the gate, Suffolk's best bits are never far away. Market towns, farm shops, woodland trails and the coast all sit within easy reach, ready for days out that end happily back here.
