OUTSIDE
Blythburgh Cottage is tucked away behind Yoxford Makers, with a little path taking you to the front cottage style garden, mostly laid to lawn with trees and shrubs, and a table and chairs for alfresco dining. Please note the front garden is not enclosed so children and pets will need to be supervised, however there’s an enclosed courtyard at the back. There’s no allocated parking but you should find roadside parking close to the cottage’s path.
GARDEN ROOM/OFFICE
Detached from the house, this light and airy extra space is ideal for guests wanting a little quiet time or needing to do some work whilst on holiday. You’ll find a fixed desk with an office chair and Wifi, a sofa, rocking chair, and books to choose from. Folding doors open along one wall making it a special place in the summer months, and there’s an electric heater to keep it cosy in the winter. There’s also an additional freezer if required.
The cottage is behind a light filled pottery studio called Yoxford Makers where you can book (in advance) a pottery taster session, Pottery or Glazing Experience for a day or more. They also sell gift vouchers and the most amazing products - ideal as souvenirs!
The property is not suited to people with mobility difficulties as the stairs are quite steep. There’s also height restrictions upstairs with the entrance to one of the bedrooms just over six foot, 1.87 meters.
Please keep dogs off any furniture and downstairs only. Pets are not to be left alone at the property.
