Our cottages are nestled in the charming village of Fressingfield (IP21 5PH), a peaceful settlement, listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, where a Roman road once passed through what’s now the B1116. The village is home to the historic Guildhall, built in 1509, today it’s the lovely Fox and Goose restaurant (highly recommend and dog friendly). It's a picturesque slice of Suffolk history right on your doorstep
