Sweet new Suffolk holiday cottage...Skittles


Skittles, Halesworth (sleeps 2)

This charming new Suffolk holiday cottage for 2 is full of character, with a nod to its past in the name Skittles.  This beautiful period building used to be the skittles alley of the former Rose & Crown public house and consequently benefits from an elongated, open plan living space.


Bi fold doors welcome you into the property where guests will find an open plan living space with original Suffolk White brick floors throughout, kept at an ambient temperature with under floor heating. There is also a large king-size bedroom with a shower room boasting an impressive walk in 'waterfall' shower. 


Outside this pet friendly Suffolk holiday cottage is a lovely brick courtyard with a BBQ chimenia, the bi fold doors mean on a beautiful summers day the outside can be an integral part of Skittles open plan design.
