About the area
This self-catering holiday cottage for 2 people is situated in the very pretty village of Horringer where there are two pubs including a very popular ‘gastropub’ The Beehive.
Ickworth House and Park is just around the corner, an ideal spot for beautiful summer strolls, picnics by the fairy lake or summer house. The park at Ickworth was in part created by the famous 18th Century landscape designer 'Capability' Brown. Here you’ll also find the West Wing Restaurant, which is superb for lunches and afternoon teas and serves local Ickworth Estate wines.
The village is close to Bury St Edmunds making it ideal for exploring the historic villages of West Suffolk, including Long Melford and Lavenham.
The cottage is only 30 minutes drive from Cambridge, and around 1 hour's drive from London. The nearest train station is just 3½ miles away at Bury St Edmunds.
