Property code: OC-1HMS

This charming property, situated in a quiet village just 5 miles from popular Southwold, is perfect for your entire pack. Sleeping six over three peaceful bedrooms with space for your canine companions to join you, nobody needs to get left behind on your next holiday. Head out of your back gate and down the public footpath for incredible countryside walkies, or let the pups unleash it all on Walberswick Beach (6 miles) among the dunes. 

As soon as you step into this property you’re welcomed by its blend of traditional and contemporary style. Exposed beams and a stunning brick fireplace housing a wood burner beckon you to sink into the sofas in the lounge, the pup curled up by your feet. The kitchen diner has a sleek feel; cook up a storm and eat at the dining table or head out of the patio door to the garden where you can dine alfresco among beautifully-landscaped lawns and plant borders. Upstairs, three tranquil bedrooms await. Watch TV before bed in the super-king-size room that has an en-suite shower room or get cosy in the peaceful double. The single room also has a pull-out futon bed, making it ideal for children. Finally, a stylish bathroom is perfect for a long soak to ease aching muscles after long walks. Watch your head in the eaves in all upstairs rooms!

Southwold (5 miles) is a must-visit for independent boutiques and the eccentric Under the Pier Show; dogs are welcome all year round on the Denes Beach just off the main beach. Take walks along Dunwich Heath (10 miles), or enjoy a more leisurely stroll to meet the horses at Redwings Horse Sanctuary Caldecott (19.5 miles). Kids will love the Southwold Maize Maze (3.5 miles) while another grown-up walks the dog around the footpaths nearby.

  • 3 bedrooms – 1 super-king-size, 1 double, 1 single with additional pull-out futon bed

This cottage is in a beautiful peaceful location with large gardens to front and rear with seating plus patio table. The beds were very comfy, the property was well equipped and decent furnishings throughout. We ate out at The Plough Inn and The Angel which are both nearby. The little things that help you to plan your stay were included such as hRead moreand gel, washing up liquid and other toiletries. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a nice peaceful getaway in a secluded location Hide

Lovely cottage, high standard fixtures. Sadly, futon not ideal/comfortable for 7 nights and storage etc., in every bedroom sadly lacking, leaving clothes everywhere, bit like camping upstairs. I would not recommend this property without a few tweaks for upstairs comfort and functionality Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your rRead moreeview. We can confirm that we will discuss this with the owner. Hide

The location of the property is excellent, nice and quiet. Shame the property wasnt as clean as expected. Back grass wasnt cut and garden furniture needed a good clean before using. The kitchen is well equipped but the oven and microwave were dirty and the fridge needed cleaning out before we used it. Beds were comfortable and good quality bRead moreedding but doesnt sleep 6 people as the 6th bed is a futon and takes up all the floor space in the bedroom. Bath wasnt working when we went but had a call about this on the way. The cottage is looking a bit tired and needs decorating and photos need updating on the website as the shrubs are now taller than the fence. Dont appear to recycle as no instructions or recycle bins. I would stay there again for the location. Hide

Really nice cottage and we had a lovely stay. Very peaceful rural location but convenient enough for local towns and the pub, The Plough was easily walkable and did decent food and drinks.
