About this property

Relax and Unwind in Forest View, the perfect place to get away!

The mix of deciduous and Pine trees is home to much wildlife, ideal for Nature lovers, Bird Spotters or people just wanting to relax or explore.

This cottage is a two-storey property, it has a large open-plan downstairs area with a fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge area. Upstairs you will find the double and single bedroom, with a family bathroom, equipped with a large walk-in shower, basin and toilet. Outside the holiday home there is a quiet garden, shared with your neighbour, picnic bench and parking for one car. We can offer a second parking space just a short walk away if required.

The medieval town of Bury St Edmunds is a quarter of an hours drive, there is something for everyone here, shopping, museums, Abbey Gardens and the Cathedral, and the racing town of Newmarket is 20mins away. The beautiful coastal towns of Aldeburgh, Southwold to name only two are well worth the drive, stopping along the way to see the old Suffolk towns of Lavenham and Long Melford before you get to the Stour Valley, the famous 'Constable country'.

Blenhiem Visit

The cottage is right in the centre of Woodstock, close to shops, restaurants and pubs and is also in walking distance to Blenhiem Palace. The cottage is lovely with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Jane was in contact with us on the day that we checked in to make sure that everything was ok

Escape to Nature

Lived here for a month. After 20 years of big city living, this venue and setting was idyllic. Can't beat looking out of the window seeing deer on the lawn, let alone rabbits and squirrels. The Forest is a few steps from the door, long walks, clean air, it doesn't get any better! Forest View, as it is aptly named, is fully equipped, very well maintained and spacious. Jane and Leigh, our hosts were super-helpful throughout. All-in-all, a really great stay.

August getaway

Nice property and very hospitable and friendly hosts who live on site. Great location for onsite woodland walks and we saw deer each time we walked. Only downside was a malfunctioning toilet that took an hour to sort out whilst we were hoping to check in, but this was rectified quickly.

Nature on the doorstep

Jane was the perfect host and the place was immaculate. A few steps from a vast forest. Spied a deer during breakfast. Well placed for endless woodland, stream and lake walks. Anglo Saxon village just over the road.

We want to live there!

What a wonderful weekend stay. Everything was perfect. The property manager and husband were so welcoming and friendly. The property was wonderful and had everything we needed. The countryside was literally a stones throw away. So much wild life to see and enjoy. The West Stow Country Park was just across the road too - definitely worth a visit. We certainly want to return in the future.

Back to nature!

We wanted a few days relaxing break in a forest setting and we got exactly that. The property was very clean, comfortable and well equipped and we received a warm welcome from Jane and Leigh. The King’s forest was literally ten yards from our front door with some lovely walks (cycling would also be an option). Also, a five minute walk across the road was a lovely country park with a large lake and recreated Saxon village and museum. We had a really enjoyable and relaxing time and would highly recommend.

What makes this property unique

Everyone who visits Wideham comments on the peace and tranquility of the place. I'ts like all your troubles and stresses leave you as you pass through the main gateway.
