About this property

Riverside retreat over looking the stunning Waveney Valley - fishing & kayaking

Kingfisher Nook is a cosy self contained annex with far reaching views over the beautiful Waveney valley on the Norfolk / Suffolk border. We have private river access for fishing or bring your own kayak to explore the local river wildlife directly from our garden. With our excellent local village pub the "Hoxne Swan" within 15 min scenic stoll, you can enjoy an evening meal without the need to drive.

We strive to provide the ultimate home from home luxury experience surrounded by beautiful scenery and nature. Our Nook is fully self contained with its own entrance providing our guests with complete privacy and independence, with exclusive use of their own fully equipped kitchen for self catering, living room and shower room. There is a front and back patio available for your private use allowing you to enjoy eating outside in sun / shade throughout the day. Our patio swing seat provides the ultimate spot to relax and unwind.

New this season we now have a Helsinki Hot tub available for private hire between April and October, this can be set up on the back patio and provides the perfect way to relax and enjoy the sunset over the valley and the starry night sky. Please specify if you would like Hot tub hire at time of booking and I will provide additional cost for your stay.

We have beautiful cycling and walks from the doorstep with direct access to the Angles Way. Return from a colourful Autumn / winter walk and warm your toes with our cosy underfloor heating and log burner. Perfect for a cosy winter get away.

The bedroom has a comfortable king size bed which can be split into two smaller size single beds if desired.

Kingfisher Nook is offered on a fully self catered basis, however we are fortunate to have some excellent local pubs, restaurants and cafes within close proximity.

Should you be able to tear yourself away from the peaceful surroundings we have a wide range of local attractions to explore, including stunning beaches, historic Framlingham Castle, gorgeous country houses and Gardens such as Helmingham Hall, Bressingham stream Museum, Sutton Hoo, Snape Maltings, or a day trip on the beautiful Norfolk Broads.

We live next door with our children and our friendly cat Pip, so we are usually available for personal recommendations.

Perfect break
Kingfisher Nook was idyllic to say the least! Spotlessly clean, and a lovely welcome from the owner which included a vase of flowers, some cookies, and a personal message in scrabble letters on the fridge! Everything you need is provided for. The views from the back of the cottage were superb. We were blessed with wonderful weather which made the whole week even more perfect. There are so many things to see and do in Suffolk - from beautiful beaches and quaint villages to stunning stately homes, and this cottage is fairly central to all. We would highly recommend this property.

A beautiful and peaceful bolt hole.
We had a great stay at Kingfisher Nook. The communication and directions from Alice were spot on. The location and views were beautiful and just what we needed to relax. Perfectly placed for the coast, Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge and Snape Maltings, with plenty of excellent places to eat and drink nearby. Alice was a great host and we appreciated the welcome gifts too. We would definitely return.

Lovely rural retreat
Very well maintained and comfortable accommodation with fabulous far reaching views from the sitting room and patio. Ideal for wildlife lovers we saw numerous types of birds including the nesting house martins plus rabbits and deer. There is a lovely walk to a very picturesque village and you are not too far from many attractions … we loved Bressingham gardens and Minsmere. An added bonus was being able to kayak on the river which runs at the bottom of the garden. A lovely peaceful break. Thankyou

Peaceful Haven
Kingfisher Nook is a peaceful haven away from the stresses of everyday life. Beautifully clean and tastefully decorated, attached to the owner’s home but maintaining privacy. Would of loved to sit on the patio and admire the view but unfortunately the weather didn’t allow for this, but patio doors in the sitting room allowed you to see the view from the comfort of an armchair. Owner “Alice” very welcoming and helpful. Centrally placed for touring East Anglia. Local pubs etc serving food most of the week but Monday evening the local pub’s kitchen is currently closed. Overall “a little gem in a rural setting”.

Kingfisher Nook — perfection!
After 2 weeks on the road 5 nights at Kingfisher Nook were complete luxury and relaxation. Quiet location but close to the charming village of Hoxne with its pub and tea room. Kingfisher Nook was spacious beautifully decorated and wonderfully comfortable. Alice was a lovely host, we were welcomed with a home baked apple cake, and was helpful with local information. Enjoyed our own terrace with lovely view down to the river and a couple of beautiful sunsets. Would recommend as the perfect quiet getaway.

Perfect holiday retreat
Our week long stay at Kingfisher Nook was really brilliant. Communications with Alice prior to our visit was easy and comprehensive, with quick responses. Following the directions given meant that we were able to find the property easily and the numerous resources provided, meant that we could easily find our way around the many attractions in the area. The property was spacious, clean, light, very well equipped and the amazing view, swing seat, patio seating, fairy lights, flowers and cream tea on arrival made us feel very relaxed and pampered in this luxury hideaway. As we had our own transport ( and Google Maps on our phone) we were able to use this beautiful rural base to visit many areas in Norfolk and Suffolk. We’d definitely recommend this property to everyone and are very grateful to Alice and Mike for such a wonderful stay

Little gem in the countryside!
Kingfisher Nook is a cosy, comfortable cottage which contains all you need for your stay. The inside has been decorated&furnished to a high standard. The views are amazing as is the wildlife! There is fishing from the garden&bike rides and walks from the door. Plenty of places to visit in the surrounding area. The owners are very friendly&welcoming and cannot do enough to ensure you enjoy your holiday. They made us feel really welcome. We would highly recommend this cottage as our 2 week stay was amazing. We didnt want to come home and will definitely return.
