For our 7th Wedding Anniversary (Wool) in January i decided to take my hubbie on a romantic long weekend away.
Every year we buy/make each other a gift to do with the Anniversary theme. This year it was Wool. I managed to find a beautiful cottage in Suffolk called Wool Cottage.
This weekend we took our trip and it was lovely.
The Beautiful Lavenham Church - one of the best UK churches i have seen:
Lie ins and cooked breakfasts - bliss!
We visited the pretty towns of Long Melford/ Clare (Both great for antique shops) and Cavendish - And Bury St Edmunds (below) Which had the most Beautiful Gardens:
We enjoyed afternoon tea at Harriets in Bury St Edmunds:
We would certainly recommend the gorgeous Wool Cottage and also The Swan at Lavenham for a romantic dinner and Atlantic Health Spa for a massage and use of their pool and spa.

That cottage is GORGEOUS! I wish I knew about this place place...my best friend is getting married at lavenham this summer. We're staying at the Bell hotel in Clare. Looks dreamy! Glad you had amazing time.
Looks like you had a lovely time in my home county.
The abbey gardens in Bury St Edmunds are gorgeous - even more so at the moment with all the spring flowers.
