Eva's Cottage Wenhaston sleeps 3, central village location

A charming and cosy mid 1800’s terraced cottage, set in the heart of the village and a short walk from an award winning pub. Eva’s cottage offers a double and single bedroom suitable for three adults or a couple with a child age 10 years plus. Downstairs there is a cosy living room with a Clearview wood burner leading to a well equipped kitchen and wonderfully light dining room which has French doors onto the sunny patio and mature garden. A private path to the side of the cottage leads to Church Common which is at the bottom of the garden. One dog welcome to stay here too! Many great reviews- book now! 

Guest Review:

We loved the cottage: despite its diminutive size, the clever layout gave a feeling of space and convenience. The garden was delightful and the small dog accompanying us had a delightful time patrolling the footpath on the other side of the fence. Convenient for all immediate towns, the sea, and Sutton Hoo. We had a very happy time there.  AB 2024

Well, we did come again – and we had a great time! The cottage is as neat and welcoming as ever. The garden is a credit to you.; we spent quite some time soaking up the rays. We love this part of the world and Eva’s Cottage really completes the trip. Here’s to our third stay! John, Beth and ‘Fin’ May 2024

The very pretty enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area and well stocked borders to the sides containing a mixed variety of mature perennial planting. A pergola leads through to the end of the garden where a wooden shed is located.
