Over the last ten years we have created a portfolio of distinguished holiday retreats in the heart Constable's Dedham Vale which feature in this painting of his.

Stayed here for a long weekend. Beautiful property in a superb location, with a wonderful sense of space. Fabulous walking in Dedham Vale outside the door, comfort and peace indoors. Highly recommended.

Idyllic Suffolk provide lovely, sometimes quirky, houses for long or short term rental. Sadly as I rent for work purposes, I seldom get to benefit from their stunning locations. I think I have stayed in most properties and have always had great communications from Charlie and the team. Yes phone signal is sadly intermittent in the area, but wifi always reliable. The welcome basket was always HUGELY appreciated. Recommend without any reservation and look forward to my next stay.

This was a week's family holiday. Welcome provisions were a nice touch on our arrival, as was a visit by the owners during our stay. Situated in a beautiful, quiet setting, this character house with its grounds was perfect for our time way, and we would highly recommend it.

We spent a week staying in The Presbytery - what a wonderful place! Stunning countryside, an excellent welcome package, everything worked smoothly and the house and garden were beautifully decorated and maintained. Great to be able to bring the dogs: they - and we - loved the open fires! Will definitely be back again.

Absolutely amazing place! We had the most fantastic stay at The Presbytery, a stunning property in lovely, secluded grounds, with wonderful countryside views, the perfect place to relax with complete privacy as well as a great base to explore from too. Highly recommend!

Short 3 day business trip ,the Gildhall is really charming and spacious and also very well appointed with all you could wish for .
A true home from home,in fact it's better than that,I'm looking forward to visiting again in the warmer weather when I will be bringing my wife and our dogs for a short break.

Spent great 3 days in November at the Presbytery.
The house was warm and comfortable and didn't want to leave.
The open fire with a generous log basket was lit each night.
Can't wait to return.

We had such a wonderful stay, so comfortable and stylish yet cosy - they'd thought of everything. The perfect escape for a weekend or more and so much to do in the surrounding area. Hope to return!
