Suffolk self-catering holiday accommodation near the River Orwell.

Elm Cottage is a self-catering accommodation, with eco-friendly features, tucked away from roads in the village of Chelmondiston.  It is close to beautiful Pin Mill on the River Orwell and local attractions such as Jimmy's Farm and the Suffolk Food Hall.  In the village there are a number of shops and a pub – the highly regarded Butt and Oyster which is only a short walk away on the River Orwell.
