Best of Suffolk (www.bestofsuffolk.co.uk) is celebrating the launch of its 80th chic holiday cottage, The Cow Shed in delightful rolling countryside near the Suffolk coast (www.bestofsuffolk.co.uk/cowshed.asp).Best of Suffolk doubled its portfolio of stylish properties during 2009 from 40 to 80, and its founders Alex and Naomi Tarry are getting ready to launch further beautifully presented holiday properties in 2010. Best of Suffolk founder Alex Tarry says: “We all learnt a new word last year ‘staycations’ and at Best of Suffolk we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of people holidaying with us rather than going abroad. These new customers are discerning with high expectations and we’re enthusiastic and passionate about meeting that challenge.””We expect to see continued growth in 2010, and we’re encouraging new property providers to be bold and create somewhere really special for Best of Suffolk guests to stay. The Cow Shed is a great example of this, combining high quality with stylish finishes and attention to detail.”Here’s a selection of some of the new properties on the Best of Suffolk website:The Cow Shed, sleeps 4: This chic property has a stylish interior and a stunning wood burning stove, set in the heart of the Suffolk countryside. www.bestofsuffolk.co.uk/cowshed.asp The Old Coach House, sleeps 5: A spectacular contemporary conversion of a former coach house with fascinating historic connections: it was once owned by Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, both the first female medical doctor and first female mayor in England.
