About Garden Cottage

Park by the walled garden and wheelbarrow your kit through the trees to this peaceful, family-run meadow site on 35 acres of scenic Suffolk countryside. Pick your own pitch among wildflowers and long grass, where kites and buzzards circle overhead, hares dart about by day, and deer emerge at dusk. Later, settle by the firepit under starry skies with a chorus of owls for company.

Facilities are intentionally simple—a water tap and composting toilet—keeping the focus on nature. Wander the site's stream, fields and woodlands (home to a giant Wellingtonia), visit the pigs and chickens in the orchard, or explore footpaths and cycle routes leading to the village's pubs, restaurants and shop. Seasonal produce is available at the local walled garden, a half-hour walk away.

The site asks for quiet after dark, ensuring a restful retreat. Bury St Edmunds is 20 minutes by car, with Thetford Forest Park and the A14 to Newmarket, Cambridge or the Suffolk coast all within easy reach.
