Property code: OC-HARN

Tucked away on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, this romantic retreat is a perfect escape for couples and their canines to enjoy an adventure. Glide over the River Waveney for a memorable experience exploring the waterways with your pup starting from Oulton Broad (9 miles) and drinking in the scenery. At the end of the day, return home to your cosy abode and soak up the sunshine from the pretty garden for a relaxing place to unwind.

From the moment you step inside, you’ll love the sleek and stylish interiors, starting off in the open-plan living space which offers seating in the form of a leather armchair and sofa, a stylish kitchen and a pop of colour from the dining table for two. This space is a great place to unwind and make the most of the quality time you have with your loved ones. The bathroom is spacious with a refreshing double shower whilst the double bedroom next door is a tranquil space to sleep. Outside, the garden is full of charm with a beautiful border filled with colourful plants, outdoor seating and a BBQ for summer dining and summertime snoozes. The property benefits from private parking for one car, as well as an EV charger (charges apply).

From Beccles itself (less than half a mile), you can take the waymarked marsh trail which is lined with colourful wildflowers and pretty waterways, providing awe-inspiring adventures for those on four legs as well as two. The market town also has a whole host of events throughout the year spanning from food and art to literature and beer ensuring a little something for everyone. Get paws on the sand at the dog-friendly beach of Kessingland (10 miles), a place of great interest to archaeologists due to the high number of fossils.

The Harnser is a very comfortable and well appointed cottage and Alan and Jen are wonderful hosts. Location is perfect, just a stones throw from a choice of supermarkets and Beccles Town centre. Good restaurants and excellent coffee shops within a short walk. Easy access to the coast and the broads for days out.

We Stayed in a well designed comfortable accommodation for two people with every conceivable thought and requirement given to the apartment.I a quiet setting,but close close to the town of Beccles ,with shops and local amenities and attractions within quick accessibility through close by trunk roads.Is worth pointing outing that we found the peopleRead more of Norfolk and Suffolk friendly ,unassuming and nice.On reflection we are already missing this area of the country,and hope to return to Beccles and hopefully 'The Harnser'.
