About this property

Country house in the walled garden of historic West Stow Hall

Offering total privacy in the unique setting of the old walled garden of West Stow Hall, Gardener's Cottage is a charming base from which to explore the beautiful towns and countryside of Suffolk. With six acres of gardens, woods and paddocks of the Hall to explore and within walking distance of the king's Forest it is ideal for those wishing to ride, walk, fish, golf and enjoy the many country pursuits offered locally while Bury St Edmunds, Lavenham , Long Melford, Newmarket and Cambridge are all within easy reach as are Aldburgh and Southwold making day trips to the coast an easy option. Local pubs offer good food whilst Bury St. Edmunds, a 15min drive, has a wide variety of restaurants.

Recently renovated to a high standard the cottage offers two double bedrooms, one with a king size bed, the other with twin, zip and link, beds. There is a family bathroom with shower over, a well equipped, eat- in kitchen with views over a paddock, and a large open plan living dinning room with French windows on to the sun trap garden.. As well as oil central heating and modern cooker, there is a solid fuel Rayburn in the kitchen and a wood burning stove in the sitting room. Comfortable settees and good quality furnishings make the cottage a very cosy home from home in all weathers and at all times of the year.

Larger groups of up to 10, could also be easily accommodated by booking Orchard Cottage, which sleeps 4, as well.

Dogs are welcome but please note that, as we are surrounded by fields occupied by mares and foals, they must remain on leads at all times when in the grounds. The cottage garden is secure, so it is fine for dogs to roam at will there.


Please be assured that we are following the guidelines re cleaning and sanitising and all surfaces will have been disinfected. Weather permitting the cottage will also have been aired for at least three hours before your arrival.

Our stay at Gardener's Cottage
We had a lovely stay at Gardener's Cottage and Eileen greeted us with a warm and friendly welcome. The enclosed garden was great for our dog and walks in the King's Forest were a real delight. The cottage was very well-equipped and had an excellent layout making for a cosy and relaxing short break. We definitely hope to return again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Eileen Gilbert

Host profile image
Although Gardener's Cottage is in the garden of our home West Stow Hall it is totally private. We will not be breathing down your neck but are on hand if any questions or problems arise. I run the Hall as a Wolsey Lodge B&B while my husband works in London. We love the history and beauty of the Hall and Suffolk in general and enjoy seeing others discover how lovely this part of the world is and how much there is do.

Our dog, Monty, a border coliie cross is great. Very friendly and happy to accompany everyone every where. He is great when taken for walks as very obedient and - so far- has always returned when called!
New hens will be arriving shortly and we are happy for children to help with the egg collecting while there is apple picking in the autumn!
