Why Letheringham Water Mill Cottages are Social Distancing at its Best
Somehow even now - when horizons seem brighter, if still tinged with a little uncertainty - staying away from home with absolute confidence can seem harder to do. Getting away from it all has always been important and months of pandemic-regulated living have made it a must.
At Letheringham Mill, we pride ourselves on providing an environment for utter relaxation - a place where all our guests including canine companions, can truly retreat and be worry-free. Here in our fully enclosed rural riverside site, we offer self-contained freedom from the get-go and cottages which are luxuriously decorated, cleaned and kitted out to feel like an absolute home-from-home.
The very best level of comfort, cleanliness and service
Our longstanding, first class formula, together with our housekeeping team’s superb attention to detail can really put your mind at rest. We take the health, safety and wellbeing of our guests, our team and all visitors to our property very seriously and have always been totally committed to providing the very best level of comfort, cleanliness and service as standard. On our re-opening in April 2021, we extended our strict cleaning regime even further to ensure that everywhere, for every stay is as COVID-secure as possible.
“Owners spared no expense to provide everything needed for a stress-free break, especially in these COVID times. Felt very safe. Will definitely be returning and encouraging others too.” (Hayloft Guest)
Self-contained freedom from the get-go
Letheringham Mill is a retreat where you can keep yourself to yourself, if you wish - or enjoy the company of others at a sociable, social distance if you prefer. It’s a sizeable, yet fully enclosed site bordering the River Deben entered through automatic gates from the quietest of Suffolk country lanes.
We provide an entry code for the property gates along with the push-button access code for your cottage before arrival, so you can drive in, settle down into your holiday home-from-home and start your well-deserved break at your own pace.
There is no need to collect a key, no need to be shown the ropes and no need for any greetings - ‘elbowed’ or otherwise - or face-to-face contact unless you wish. Owner Jacqui (or one of the housekeeping team) is however usually close by at the Mill House adjacent to the entrance - or at least only just a wave or phone call away.
Idle away the time or enjoy ideas aplenty
At Letheringham Mill, we’ve ensured that each of our luxury holiday cottages has all you need for a most comfortable stay, so you can switch off and while away the day in your riverside cottage, going with the flow, watching the wildlife or curling up with a good book if you wish. Wander through the gardens and grounds. Take your holidaying hounds for some run-around fun in the field or borrow our four-legged friends for a walk by the willows – Ted, Amber and Lola are always keen to oblige!
Each individual holiday cottage has its own designated garden, riverside decking or terrace and dedicated parking area. In addition, the top lawn gardens and the big field, copse, woods and wetlands beyond the river sluice-gate provide plenty of room to roam – shared space, but only ever shared by a handful of souls!
Our little patch of Suffolk and the wonderful heritage coast nearby are ideal for any length of outing. We provide information and ideas aplenty about (almost) everything here and in the locality through a comprehensive set of property-specific manuals, including places to visit, mooch with the pooch, eat out and enjoy, as well as go-to providers of great takeaways and local produce, should you prefer to dine ‘at home’. At Letheringham Water Mill Cottages, the choice is always yours.
Come and join us. We look forward to welcoming you very soon.
