Life is but a dream at this lovely cottage set on the sprawling estate of Worlingham Hall. Completely secluded from the Grade I-listed Georgian manor at the heart of the grounds, this home is a unique blend of country charm and plush extravagance. From the snug study – complete with a leather-topped desk and high-backed office chair – every room here feels warm, cosy and just a little bit decadent. Host Tommaso has a passion for antiques – mainly British, Chinese and Tibetan furniture – which only adds to the stately atmosphere. After a day spent wandering the 448 acres of private woodland in your backyard, pop a bottle of bubbly and idle away lazy summer evenings in the lush private garden. In winter, snuggle up on the sumptuous leather sofas with an engrossing book and a fire roaring in the brick hearth. Worlingham lies between Norfolk and Suffolk – an ideal spot for exploring both the idyllic countryside and stunning coastline – while Beccles, a pretty market town boasting an array of quaint tea rooms, charming pubs and independent shops, is just a short thirteen-minute drive away.

Home truths

    This is a historic building filled with antiques, so a little wear and tear on the furniture is to be expected

    Worlingham Hall can also be rented, so while the garden outside the cottage is private, the rest of the sprawling grounds are not

    This home may be undergoing some small updates and renovations, so please bear that in mind during your stay

    You’ll want a car to get around the area – there’s plenty of private parking available right outside the home

About Halesworth

Built on a Roman settlement, Halesworth is a small market town with a lot of history. A wander through the pretty streets will reveal buildings from as far back at the 16th century, including timber-framed structures and former Victorian alms houses. There’s a sedate way of life here and there’s nowhere better to appreciate that than the town’s Thoroughfare, a partly pedestrianised area at the heart of Halesworth. Here you...
