Nestled in the picturesque village of Sible Hedingham, a place that seems to have gracefully defied the hands of time, stands a remarkable testament to history and comfort: a detached, thatched-roof, Grade II listed holiday cottage. Steeped in history and dating back to the 15th century, it has been lovingly preserved to offer travellers a genuine experience of old-world charm coupled with modern amenities.
As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by two inviting bedrooms, thoughtfully designed for utmost comfort. The master bedroom boasts a super kingsize bed, promising a restful nights sleep. Adjacent lies a quaint twin room, perfect for children over 10 years old or accompanying guests, exuding warmth and tranquillity.
Throughout the cottage, one cannot help but marvel at its idiosyncratic features—steep stairs that whisper tales of countless footsteps from centuries past, exposed beams that stand as silent witnesses to bygone eras, and uneven floors that add to its undeniable character.
Beyond its historic walls, the surrounding countryside unfolds like a beautifully woven tapestry of verdant meadows, winding lanes, and ancient woodlands. Footpaths meander through this pastoral landscape, beckoning avid walkers and cyclists to explore its hidden treasures. Whether you’re embarking on a leisurely stroll to soak in the serenity or cycling along scenic routes that offer panoramic views, the area promises a rejuvenating experience for nature enthusiasts.
Conveniently located, the cottage is a stone’s throw away from essential amenities. A local shop and butchers lies just a quarter mile away, Moreover, mere 20 yards from your doorstep, a traditional pub stands as a welcoming beacon, where you can relish hearty meals and mingle with friendly locals.
This enchanting cottage offers a sanctuary of comfort, and a gateway to the natural beauty and rich heritage of the surrounding area. Whether you’re seeking a tranquil escape or an adventure-filled getaway, this historic gem promises an unforgettable experience, weaving memories that will linger long after your departure.

Great, characterful cottage.

Great, characterful cottage. Not a modern building but cosy and well equipped. Great range of walks from the doorstep. Decent set of shops etc 5 mins away and nice to have a pub next door but they are obviously suffering from lockdown restrictions. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

although a charming cottage it needs attention particularly in the bathroom, sofa needs a good clean, washing machine smelt of mould and door rubber was black also bin in bathroom contained rubbish and don't think the shower had been cleaned with a bit of care this cottage could be very welcoming and although we are critical of some things I would recommend

A lovely cottage full of character. The owner Darren was very helpful. There are plenty of leaflets in the property for ideas on places to visit. The pub next door allowed us to use their parking for the week.

Very pleasant cottage, but be aware stairs are both steep and noisy. Otherwise everything as it should be. Also at time of writing local pub does not offer evening meals.

The Croft is by far the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in.

The Croft is by far the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We loved the age of the property, the sloping ceilings, wonky floors and a fireplace to die for. The Croft has a lovely calming and welcoming feel and we instantly felt at home under its thatched roof. As it was a warm week when we stayed, the dogs particularly liked the cool brick tiled flooring in the dining room and the shade provided by the shrubs in the garden. The Croft is very well equipped in a lovely part of the village. Ideally place for our four legged friends who enjoyed exploring the many footpaths in the area. We have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful cottage.

This was our second stay at this lovely cottage.

This was our second stay at this lovely cottage. Everything was once again perfect. There is everything that you could possibly need and more for a relaxing holiday. Our 2 Chihuahuas Tillie and Lulu loved the garden. They were completely safe as it is fully enclosed and it was lovely to sit out with them in the lovely surroundings. The treats were most welcome and we will definitely be returning again in the near future
