Constable Country’s ultimate rural retreat thanks to a sublime setting within a private wild water meadow next to the pretty River Box.

Wonderful Suffolk dog walking base

Fantastic location and comfortable base for us and the two dogs. Good clear walking and friendly local pubs. Ground source heating was brilliant and the Pump House was always warm to return to. It was a very easy and relaxing place to stay

We spent 7 nights at the Pump house with our young working cocker Spaniel. Easy to find even in the dark as we arrived very late. The location is perfect plenty of walks from the door step, there is a public footpath which runs through the garden, so you do get walkers passing through. The public footpath will take you to the Crown pub which has a great beer garden and serves very good food. We also ate at the Anchor which was recommended by the team and had a wonderful Sunday roast there. The house itself is small but feels spacious. We had a week of sun so no need for any heating. Well equipped for cooking meals. Essentials there, milk, bread, butter and some cereal. We did a click and collect shop at Sainsbury's in Sudbury only 15/20 mins away. Our dog loved the garden as mentioned it isn't secure so you do need to keep an eye on your dog, we do especially as very inquisitive! The village and surrounding areas are beautiful. We enjoyed 6 Mile walks most days and one trip to Aldeburgh which had amazing fish and chips! We would happily return in the future.

Beautiful location and an absolute heaven for bird watchers. Had the rain not made us go sight-seeing elsewhere, we wouldn’t have ventured out, being surrounded by all that natural beauty was wonderful. Look no further for a peaceful, relaxing getaway.

Imaginatively restored former pump house, with two long comforable sofas in extension overlooking the field across the stream (horses and sheep) and the water meadow round the house. Underfloor heating is lovely, the lighting is brilliant, it's totally quiet but not isolated. Great walking from the house with wide footpaths almost everywhere and trafficless lanes. Very good village shop and idiosyncratic bookshop. Perfect location for visiting all the sights in Dedham Vale and beyond.

We stayed as a couple for a short weekend getaway. The property is really well designed and quite unique - great to read the history of how it was converted.

The main positive is the setting - in such beautiful countryside with wonderful views from the windows. We enjoyed just sitting and looking out for hours.

It was really quiet and peaceful - just what we were looking for - but also close to local pubs and a short drive to lovely villages. The hosts were also very responsive and we had a great welcome pack of goodies.

Would loved to have stayed longer if we could so that’s a recommendation in itself!

A lovely location and generally warm and cosy. Really good that the heating and waste are all environmentally sustainable. the wood burner was a nice touch and the walks straight out of the front door were excellent. A private and secluded location, perfect for that quiet getaway.

Beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings. Had a wonderful time despite a few mishaps, blocked sewage so couldn’t use sinks, shower or toilet for 2 days. This was resolved. Power cut in village which knocked off WiFi reception so no WiFi for 4 days. This didn’t spoil our time here and will definitely be back.
