Sleeps 4 guests in 1 Double and 1 Twin bedroom

An impressively modernised classic 18th Century Georgian coachman’s cottage near the divine village of Hartest that is wonderfully set off the beaten track in timeless and unspoilt rolling countryside. Meticulously upgraded, the cottage blends historic character with whitewashed style and rural comfort. With a large landscaped courtyard and separate private orchard, there is oodles of space to relax under Suffolk’s large sun filled skies. After sunset the log-burner, underfloor heating and modern appliances provide luxurious warmth in a bucolic cocoon.

Washroom – lavatory and hand basin.

Suffolk hideaway

A beautiful coach house with access to an enclosed courtyard and an enclosed orchard area so excellent for dogs too. The stairs are quite steep so need care . Would be good to have a bedroom mirror or dressing table. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing stay

The Orchard Coach House made a good impression. The living space was clean and comfortable. The kitchen is modern, well lit and adequately equipped for our needs. The outside space is particularly good. We enjoyed using the gravelled garden and the Orchard for snacks and drinks. You can hear the occasional passing traffic from the garden and the Orchard. There is no noticeable traffic noise at night. The Orchard was great for our dog too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely property with a bonus orchard for the dogs

Lovely airy detached coach house with tasteful furniture and decoration. The house benefits from a large courtyard garden which was a great space although the road was did appear slightly noisy but I think that might be connected to the local haymaking which was in progress during our stay. The property has the benefit of an enclosed orchard which was a wonderful space to exercise the dogs.

A pleasant stay

We enjoyed our stay at the Coach House. The orchard was very inviting and generally it was a great place to unwind. The bed was comfortable but in such a big room, why not have a king bed? There was attention to detail but a few things were missed: the telly command stopped working and we had to buy batteries for it, one of the frying pans was bent, rendering cooking with it impossible and the general bin had a mind of its own. We had to plead with it to open, it was temperamental. These are small things but one would expect the place to be spotless at all levels. Hence my mentioning these here so that they can be fixed for the next person coming in. I suspect these things weren't flagged up and so, they go under the radar. There is much to recommend the place.

Neat but needed some more love

Tiny bit too minimalist for me. Comfortable double bed in the main bedroom, but used to and would have preferred a king size. Also, could have done with a chest of drawers/dresser in the room, and maybe a full length mirror? Generally good quality items, but the cheap taps, didn’t make sense to me. All things considered, not sure it was right for us.

Four night stay at Orchard Coach House

Enjoyed our stay at Orchard Coach House. No problems whatsoever. Would definitely recommend it, very relaxing few days. Nice routes around the area for dog walking. Would recommend the black lion at Long Melton for a good meal. Second time using idyllic cottages website and would book again.

A Gem

This is a beautiful property, as described, with plenty of space. Thats before you even explore the adjoining orchard or the very private garden. Easy to find, and access with parking right outside. Perfect for our needs, and ideally located for us too. Communications with the team are excellent….certainly would recommend this lovely place.
