Welcome

Cressland is a Grade II* 15th Century timber framed, self-catering holiday cottage, sleeping up to 8 people, located right next to the famous `Splash’ in the heart of Kersey, one of the most photographed, picturesque villages in Suffolk. Whilst retaining the spirit of past, Cressland has been sympathetically restored to extremely high standard.  At Cressland we want to make everyone's stay as enjoyable as possible, and are committed to providing suitable access for all our guests, whatever their individual needs. We aim to accurately describe our facilities and services to give you the confidence to book our cottage.  Cressland is rated by VisitEngland under the National Accessible Scheme.
