  • A fantastic cottage situated in a pretty location, close to the beach
  • Relax and unwind in your private enclosed garden watching the open sea views
  • Ideal coastal getaway for a couple or small family
Property code: OC-C27497

This romantic hideaway is set right on Kessingland’s beachfront, giving you and Rover direct access to the paw-friendly shoreline. Sleeping three guests and one waggy-tailed pal, it’s the perfect retreat for couples and small families seeking peace and tranquillity. From Kessingland, enjoy day trips to seaside towns such as Southwold (9 miles) and Great Yarmouth (16.5 miles), or head inland to the Broads National Park (6 miles).

The single-storey, coastal bolthole is bright and airy, with a smattering of seaside accessories. After a day on the beach, unwind in the stylish lounge/diner, with a choice of comfortable seating and a roaring wood burner for warming your toes and paws. Come together around the sweet dining table for memorable mealtimes, whilst admiring the stunning sea views through the large picture window. An archway leads to the carefully-designed, compact kitchen, which is equipped with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. Both bedrooms – a double and a single – have been beautifully decorated in pastel tones and pretty fabrics. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. The garden is fully enclosed for your furry chum, and has a lawn for them to play on, as well as a swing seat for you to recline on and furniture for al fresco dining.

The beach at Kessingland is wild and remote, offering ample space for secluded dog walks along the sand and shingle shoreline. After an exhilarating walk with the hound, return to the village to refuel in one of the cosy pubs or cute cafes. Heading south along the coast, you’ll soon reach the charming town of Southwold, with its fabulous collection of shops, eateries, and traditional seaside attractions. Take a stroll along the paw-friendly pier, followed by a ride on the foot ferry across to the picturesque fishing village of Walberswick.

The cottage is delightful. It is well equipped and very comfortable. It is also ideally placed, within a small group of holiday cottages, close to the beach and only a short walk from a pub and a restaurant. It is ideal for walks along the very peaceful Suffolk coast. We found it perfect for a short break with our young dog.

A lovely little cottage with excellent sea views. The whole site is well cared for. The kitchen is well equiped with eveything we needed for our short stay. The bedrooms were comfortable and the bathroom shower was excellent. It handled 3 full showers without running out of hot water.
