Suffolk, UK: The Cottage

We are relaxing for the week in a little cottage in Suffolk. It could be a converted barn...but I am not sure. The Lounge is very cosy with a giant fireplace. I just love the colours...turquoise and pink. And the floor is just old stones. The table would sit at least 10 people. And our welcome basket included fresh bread and butter, bacon, farm eggs, and produce. Does this mirror remind anyone of an old dutch painting? (hint: Arnolfini and his Bride) The amazing kitchen reminds us of what we want to do with ours. Although the English country cottage look and the Victorian look are a bit different. The master bedroom is cosy set in the rafters. Old sewing machines are used several times as desks. The view from the window just looks out onto farmland (that we later learn is full of clay). The entire upstairs has beautiful old original floorboards. The second bedroom (which we get a discount if we don't use) has a single bed... ...and a double. The bathroom is very nice and I love the handmade green tiles above the sink. The hallway for an extra sleeping space. And down the stairs back to the living room.
