About this property

The Dairy, Freston, Suffolk

  • Located in Freston, The Dairy is a wonderful, refurbished holiday cottage with three double bedrooms, ample living space and its own private decked terrace. This spacious property has been finished to a very high standard with its unique fittings giving it a lovely cosy feel. Situated on beautiful Lodge Farm in the Shotley Peninsula, between the River Stour and the River Orwell, this is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a remote location, yet within easy access to watersports, fishing, The Suffolk Food Hall, cycling and wonderful walks.

    In 2013, the owners painstakingly restored The Dairy and neighbouring properties into what is now a lovely holiday cottage for up to six people. The open plan ground floor, with double height, contemporary sitting room and full height windows, really bring the 'outside in' making the most of the spectacular views across Suffolk's rolling countryside. The Dairy has its own private outside space and decked area with seating for six.

    It can be let separately for six or with the adjoining Buttery and Parlour to accommodate up to 12 guests. The combination of all three properties is known as Lodge Farm. This flexibility makes it both a perfect couples' getaway and an ideal family property offering private space separated by interconnecting, sound-proofed, double doors.

    Guests also have access to the owner's delightful Shepherd's Hut situated adjacent to the property - perfect for picnics, or just unwinding.There's a communal games room, utility room and guests are welcome to use the tennis court. Two EV chargers are available on-site for a small additional £30 charge.You may even wish to book a massage therapist in the Shepherd's Hut for a real treat!

Beautiful rural views but expensive for the overall quality

Beautiful views and an interesting conversion of old farm buildings. The play room with table tennis was great especially for children but the advertised snooker was very poor and no useful cues. We were lucky to have no one staying in the adjoining properties as this liberated more play space. The greatest surprise was having an open plan lavatory and bath in the master bed room. This would have been so easily walled off during the conversion rather than just a wooden shelf as partial barrier. This also meant there was no wardrobe or cupboard for clothes in that bedroom. The lounge, kitchen and dining area and deck were very pleasant especially as we had good to allow us to fully enjoy the fresh air.
