Many of our cottages have been welcoming guests for over a decade during which time we have managed thousands of bookings for highly satisfied guests. Idyllic Cottages was born in the Stour Valley with Charlie Allsopp being brought up in Dedham which is at the very heart of this area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB). Charlie runs the business and leads the extended team that looks after all our guests from initial enquiry through to the end of their stays. With excellent local knowledge and close relationships with property owners, we are able to guide you through your decision making and answer questions that only true local natives can. We are available pretty much all hours to look after you as we are committed to ensuring all guests have the best possible stay feeling fully revived and recharged.

An adorable cottage in the central village of Constable’s Dedham Vale that boasts a complete renovation including oak wooden flooring, log burner, new kitchen and large bathroom along with sun trapping front and rear gardens. With clever use of all the space the cottage creates exceedingly comfortable living areas ideal for romantic and family getaways. Being on the edge of an affluent and historic village provides easy access to local shops, a great riverside pub and wonderful walking along the River Stour and the beautiful rolling countryside that inspired John Constable.
