Traditional Thatched Charm Meets Modern Comfort

  • 6 The Green – Beautiful Thatched Cottage Retreat in the Suffolk Countryside
    Dreaming of a cosy countryside escape? Step inside 6 The Green, a charming, beautifully restored thatched cottage where traditional English character meets modern comfort. Overlooking a picturesque village green and surrounded by the beautiful Suffolk countryside, this is a place to slow down, switch off and enjoy a little time away from it all.

    With its cosy living spaces, inviting bedrooms, lovely original features and thoughtful modern touches, 6 The Green offers a wonderful home-from-home for couples, families and friends. Whether you're curling up beside the log burner, enjoying a leisurely breakfast, exploring the countryside or visiting the nearby historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, you'll find plenty to make your stay special.

    A little cottage charm, a peaceful setting and everything you need for a relaxing Suffolk getaway.
    A warm and welcoming cottage
    Step inside through the welcoming hallway and discover a cosy living room with comfortable sofas, inviting armchairs and a feature fireplace – the perfect spot to relax after a day exploring Suffolk. The adjoining dining area provides a lovely setting for leisurely breakfasts, family meals and cosy evenings together.

    The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is fully equipped for everything from a quick morning coffee to a home-cooked feast. It features an Everhot range cooker with induction hob and an American-style fridge/freezer with ice maker.

    There is also a separate utility area and a practical boot room with an additional shower room – ideal for freshening up after muddy countryside walks.
    Comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms
    The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests.

    The generous ground-floor main bedroom features a king-size bed with a luxurious memory foam mattress, offering a peaceful night's sleep.

    The large family bathroom is also on the ground floor, featuring a beautiful double-ended bath for a relaxing soak and a spacious walk-in shower.

    There is also a separate additional shower room on the ground floor, complete with its own walk-in shower, conveniently located next to the practical boot room. This is particularly useful for guests returning from countryside walks or for families and groups getting ready at the same time.

    A charming spiral staircase leads from the living room to a galleried landing with a dressing area and the upstairs twin bedroom. This bedroom has two single beds, which can be joined together to create a super king-size bed. Please request this arrangement at least 48 hours before arrival.

    Enjoy the Suffolk countryside.

    Surrounded by beautiful countryside, 6 The Green is ideally placed for walking, wildlife, nature and exploring the local area. There are lovely walks to enjoy straight from the cottage, while the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds is just a short drive away, offering independent shops, restaurants, cafés and plenty of history.

Fantastic place to stay. Our family of four had more than enough room and the cottage was beautiful. Spent two days in Bury and was a great addition of our trip. Thank you Tracy for your hospitality.

Perfect cottage break!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Green! The cottage is beautiful with its thatched roof, ceiling beams and big fireplace. The kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything you might need & a lovely private garden to enjoy the summer evenings. Communication with Tracy was excellent. She made sure we had everything we needed and provided some brilliant personalised recommendations for things to do/happening in the local area. The cottage is located conveniently for lots of attractions and a short drive into the town centre. Wish we could have stayed for longer & would love to return one day.

Wonderful house

We really enjoyed our stay at this thatched house near Bury St.Edmunds and we found so much to do in the area that our week-long stay passed very quickly. We particularly enjoyed the comfortable bed and the perfect garden, enjoying several meals at the outside table. An very unusual place that we were fascinated by was Grimes Graves, a Neolithic flint mine.

Beautifully decorated thatched roof cottage

A lovely cottage mixing the traditional with the modern. A lovely welcome basket with bread, milk, cereals & homemade delicious jam. Kitchen had plenty of pots & pans as well as plates, glasses etc. Beds were very comfortable & our son loved his bedroom which was under the “ thatch” & accessed via a narrow, steep spiral staircase. Very quiet & lovely to sit in the backyard in the afternoon & listen to the birds.

An excellent place to stay to explore the area. The property is well equipped and spotless. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Lovely welcome basket on arrival which was great after our long journey. We could buy fresh eggs every morning, which was a treat!

Beautiful Cottage In A Peaceful Village

Set in a quiet peaceful village with beautiful garden and a variety of sitting out areas yet only 5 miles out of historic Bury. Good on drive parking. When entering the cottage it was clear how well kept the cottage is and how clean clearly keeping to COVID guidelines. There was a welcome basket in the kitchen and various information sent before arrival. The map of West Stow Country Park very helpful. It is also well worth visiting Fuller Mill garden. The latter 2 are quite near the cottage. Please be aware that there is a steep step in the bathroom before getting to bath and toilet and a steep step into the lounge. There is a large twin room upstairs, double is on ground floor. However, you need to be quite agile to use the stairs.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location!

This cottage served as a great base of operations for a short holiday exploring Bury and its surroundings. Our boys loved the twin beds in the roof and the space for play on the landing outside, though two adults might feel a little cramped in the same space. There was plenty of space in the living area and kitchen and all you could need for self catering, even sharp knives! The back garden was beautiful, it was a shame we couldn't spend more time out there due to the weather. Highly recommended :-)

Classic, charming and delightful

Tracy's cottage is a charming example of English country cottage, updated just enough (but not too much.) The important things are modern: heating, kitchen, clothes washing, bathroom. And the important parts are classic: thatched roof, cottage interior. A lovely location on Flempton green within easy drive of our favorite places around Bury.
