Suffolk Holiday Cottages » Holiday Cottages in KerseyHoliday Cottages in Kersey
There are some areas of Suffolk that have become iconic destinations for tourists and visitors to explore, while other parts of the county are lesser known. Kersey falls into the latter category, keeping its charm and character relatively under wraps, despite its proximity to nearby Hadleigh, Ipswich, and Stowmarket.
Kersey is a small parish with a church and traditional Suffolk properties, one of which is a charming holiday cottage managed and maintained by our team.
It is pitched as a quintessential country village destination, though it remains far less prolific than the likes of Lavenham and Boxford. The village’s ford, which runs across the main street, is a focal feature for visitors, while the well-preserved historic buildings represent a look back at traditional architecture.

Staying in Kersey: Things to Know
Despite being largely underrepresented, Kersey was once a major contributor to the local wood trade. Kersey cloth has become a global phenomenon and derives from the wool produced in this small Suffolk village.
It is well-positioned with access to large nearby towns, making it possible to base your next Suffolk trip in Kersey while enjoying the various attractions and things to see in Dedham, Stowmarket, Ipswich, and Sudbury. The ford, which runs across the street, over the cobbled road and down to the river, is a popular focal point for visitors and residents alike – referred to locally as ‘the splash’.
St Mary’s Church is another iconic point in Kersey, with its medieval architecture and design, while the blend of old and new properties and houses keeps Kersey firmly connected with its roots.
Staying in Kersey
With that in mind, and with Kersey playing host to so many different properties from different eras, where are the best places for visitors to stay?
In Kersey itself, we proudly host ‘The Dove House’ for two guests (and an optional four-legged friend). This cabin-style cottage is light and airy and is located in the grounds of Grade 11 Listed Manor Farm between Kersey itself and nearby Boxford. Being situated just outside of both villages, ‘The Dove House’ is a haven of tranquillity and peace amid the surroundings of rural Suffolk.
Other nearby holiday cottages to explore, especially for those larger groups and families, include the ‘Bridge House’ in Kersey which is suitable for 8 guests, ‘Swans Nest’, and ‘Valley View Yurt’ both built for four guests in Boxford.
Booking Your Kersey Staycation
The beauty of a staycation at a holiday cottage in Kersey is that you will experience and become immersed in a corner of Suffolk that remains peaceful and largely untouched.
Despite its proximity to bustling towns and tourist-heavy villages, Kersey itself is a haven of quintessential British life. Whether you’re drawn to the architecture of the church or the unique charm of the babbling Ford as it crosses the main street of the village, Kersey will instil a peace that you never thought possible.
