About this property

Romantic village hideaway for two. Great for walking and cycling.

Overlooking the stunning Church of St Mary's Boxford this special holiday home offers a unique place to unwind and relax. With a beamed vaulted ceiling in the bedroom and shelves of books to explore this property oozes charm and comfort.
Set in a great village location, with good local shops and useful amenities all close by. There are beautiful walks right outside the door. We are dog lovers and welcome one small well-behaved dog if you want to bring a furry friend. A small surcharge applies.

Suffolk is know for its amazing cycle rides along pretty country lanes and cycling is the perfect way to explore the surrounding villages. We have an off-road car port where you can safely store your bikes under cover. We have a couple of old but serviceable bikes you can borrow free of charge if you fancy the odd ride out.

Close to Constable country, Lavenham and many other beautiful Suffolk villages, we are perfectly situated when it comes to exploring the wider area and the picturesque areas of Suffolk. The coast is under an hour away by car and the smart shops and Georgian squares of Bury St Edmunds a 40 minute drive.

The Old Forge is a Grade II listed 15th century timber framed building converted from part of our home. The cottage is completely self-contained and is accessed via coach doors from the street. You enter an open plan living/dining area with kitchenette. Up the curling staircase is a romantic bedroom with ensuite power shower. We provide luxury soft fluffy towels and crisp Egyptian cotton linen for that extra comfort.

Cosy cottage in a beautiful village.
Marianne was a super host with excellent communication. The Old Forge was a lovely place to stay - wonderfully cosy, super shower, loads of books to read should you wish. Boxford is a pretty village too and was a great place to stay en route to Norfolk.

We enjoyed our week staying in this cosy, well-appointed cottage which was attractive and comfortable. Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Boxford is a pretty village and very well placed for exploring Suffolk. We recommend the Box River Cafe for breakfast!

About the host

Hosted by Marianne

Host profile image
We have raised our family in Boxford and are completely attached to this timeless friendly village. Marianne teaches Yoga in the village hall and Adam is retired. We have lovingly restored our 15th century house over the years including making this independent cottage where we have been welcoming guests for over 10 years. We hope you enjoy the area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Old Forge is a Grade II listed 15th century house in the most stunning of locations. The history, position and friendliness of the village are all reasons why we have lived here for over twenty years. We have spent the utmost care to convert the holiday cottage into a comfortable and cosy place to stay. Using quality products I have made this holiday retreat a place that I would really like to stay in myself!

What makes this property unique

The accommodation is small, but packs a punch of charm for everything you need has its place. Quality oak flooring, furnishings and a feeling of cosiness welcome you to The Old Forge. The many guests we have been welcoming here over the years have given us great reviews. Previously with an agency for eight years we decided to deal direct with guests two years ago and have not looked back. The combination of a comfortable base and the location make this place truly special.

Boxford is a thriving friendly village with several shops, a primary school, coffee shop and pub. Surrounded by beautiful walks, meanandering country lanes for cycle rides, and traditional pubs it offers both a quiet place relax things of interest to do. We are also well situated for exploring many of the pretty Suffolk villages and coast.

Whether you want to relax looking at the view out the window watching the world go by, , read a book or go out exploring Boxford has little bit of everything for everyone.
