Many of our cottages have been welcoming guests for over a decade during which time we have managed thousands of bookings for highly satisfied guests. Idyllic Cottages was born in the Stour Valley with Charlie Allsopp being brought up in Dedham which is at the very heart of this area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). Charlie runs the business and leads the extended team that looks after all our guests from initial enquiry through to the end of their stays. With excellent local knowledge and close relationships with property owners, we are able to guide you through your decision making and answer questions that only true local natives can. We are available pretty much all hours to look after you as we are committed to ensuring all guests have the best possible stay feeling fully revived and recharged.

Fantastic fully refurbished cottage in the heart of one of Suffolk’s prettiest villages with stunning views of the Box Valley. One end of the cottage has a large modern kitchen and dining area with direct views and access to a beautifully relandscaped garden, and at the other is a wonderfully comfortable and cozy sitting room with log burner. From the well-furnished bedrooms that share an immaculate bathroom are views of Stoke church, made famous by John Constable, and Polstead Village. Being just 100 yards from two of the best pubs in the area, along with access to bountiful walks and the village shop, this cottage is the perfect rural village getaway.
