Castle Hill Cottage is a charming and romantic period cottage nestled in the historic town of Framlingham, Suffolk, renowned for its connection to Ed Sheeran's hit song "Castle on the Hill." Dating back to the 1600s, this beautifully renovated cottage spans two floors and comfortably accommodates up to six guests, making it an ideal retreat for couples and families alike. With three bedrooms and one bathroom, the cottage provides a cozy atmosphere perfect for short breaks or longer stays, allowing visitors to explore the picturesque Suffolk countryside and the nearby coast.
Situated just a stone's throw from the Market Square, Castle Hill Cottage offers easy access to the vibrant life of Framlingham. The town is steeped in history, featuring the impressive twelfth-century Framlingham Castle, once associated with the Earls and Dukes of Norfolk. Visitors can also explore Saint Michael’s Church, which houses the tomb of Henry Fitzroy, the illegitimate son of Henry VIII, adorned with significant heraldic symbols. The town's historical significance is further highlighted by the Town Trail, which guides guests through key sites of interest, making it a delightful place for leisurely strolls and exploration.
Framlingham also boasts a lively market scene, with markets held on Saturdays and Tuesdays, offering a variety of local produce, crafts, and collectibles. The town is dotted with excellent shops for gifts, food, and antiques, alongside a tempting selection of cafés, tea shops, pubs, and restaurants. Beyond the town, visitors can easily access nearby attractions, such as Wickham Market, Woodbridge, and the scenic Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation.
While the cottage's historic charm is appealing, potential guests should be aware of certain features typical of properties from the 1600s, such as steep stairs leading to the first floor and interconnecting bedrooms without a separate hallway. The bathroom is conveniently located on the ground floor. For those seeking additional activities, nearby attractions include Shawsgate Vineyard, Ufford Park Golf Course, and various parks, ensuring a fulfilling experience in this beautiful region of East England.
