What the Press Said

 

100 Cool Cottages: Black Sheep Cottage. It's a textbook conversion. Take one half of a sixteenth century cottage. Accentuate everything ancient and textured. Contrast with the odd piece of modern furniture. And serve up with a flourish of chocolatey colour. Outside, there's a shared orchard and pond, a private garden and a large chunk of rural Suffolk. Sunday Times Travel, January 2010

Black Sheep and White Sheep are two cottages in the village of Peasenhall. Dating back to 1560, their interiors blend antiques with contemporary design and with oak timbers and floorboards. There's a plentiful supply of books, maps and games - and wifi if you can't leave the 21st century behind. White Sheep cottage has a large inglenook fireplace and a double ended tub. From the cosy bedrooms you can gaze out over the church and village, or onto the rolling Suffolk countryside.

Independent, October 2009
 
 
 

A beautifully restored pair of ancient village cottages, with character filled, yet uber-chic white, chocolate and cream boutique interiors. Old and new are in perfect harmony at Sheep Cottages, a pretty pair of timber framed 16th century houses, a short drive from the Heritage Coast. Black Sheep and White Sheep, sleeping 4 and 6 respectively, have both been restored immaculately, the interiors keeping bags of ancient charm and re-using much of the original material. Wood and stone, centuries old, combine with shades of white, cream and chocolate, characterful beams, coir, stone and oak flooring to give a super-stylish interior.

Stressed out city dwellers will love it: a break in the country without sacrificing style. But so too will foodies, twitchers, walkers or cyclists as there's plenty to do in the surrounding area, from coastal rambles to bird watching and country bike rides. If it's shopping you're after, there are numerous antique shops and art galleries within striking distance and keen gardeners will find a tempting array of local nurseries. Alternatively, just sit and relax on your private terrace or by the pond in the wild flower meadow.

Guestbook

We've enjoyed a fabulous stay at White Sheep Cottage. It has a wonderfully homely feel in a superb location. Emmett's is a mecca for foodies....The cottage is so well equipped it feels like home from home. Wonderfully comfy beds too!

The Smith Party, Norwich

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at White Sheep - lovely cottage and lovely garden....Not a restful holiday with a 9 week old baby but the comfy beds were still much enjoyed. Our 3 year old loved the soft toys and the cute bedroom.....great area to explore, no doubt we will be back!

We had a lovely time once again seeing in the New Year at Sheep Cottages....thanks very much indeed

Kate, Shell, Frances and James

Beautiful cottage with sooo much character - and very well situated for exploring both the Suffolk Coast and countryside.....thank you very much

Fiona and John Horwood

We normally come up here for Latitude so it was nice to be less manic and just enjoy a lovely part of the World. In fact we like it so much we're getting married nearby in September! Recommend hiding car keys and taking walks from the house - the people at the pub in Sibton were lovely - and all the walks staggeringly beautiful....really enjoyed living in the house too....really well-equipped and just a lovely place to be....

Ben and Abbie, Manchester

Thank you for a very comfortable stay. We'd have been very happy to have spent more time in Peasenhall but had glorious weather so spent our time exploring the coast....Orford, Southwold, Snape, Aldeburgh.....thank you, we'd love to come again!

This is our first visit to Suffolk and we are in love with the place! The cottage is so beautiful - you have thought of everything. It is so so comfortable and cosy. What a gem!

Delightful stay! We managed to have breakfast outside every day and spent lots of time lounging in the wildflower garden and by the pond. Thoroughly enjoyed the garden and plantings, fell in love with Suffolk, the houses and architecture, pleasing villages, the vibrant colours of the landscape.....many splendid days out....then always a treat to come back to the cottage...

We had a lovely time again. This property is an absolute pleasure to stay in. With great character, it has all the style & comfort for a fantastic break.

Peasenhall is a beautiful village and Black Sheep Cottage a fabulous find!

Thank you Sue for "sharing" your wonderful cottage with us. We all had a great time here and think it'a a fabulous place to stay. Quiet enough, away from the crowds in Aldeburgh and Southwold, but near enough to get there quickly!
