Located in the vibrant market town of Bungay in the heart of the Waveney Valley, this quaint and traditional cottage makes a cosy and welcoming base. Set on the border between Norfolk and Suffolk, it’s perfectly placed for exploring the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, the Norfolk Broads and the fine city of Norwich. Sleeping three people and two canine companions, it’s ideal for a romantic getaway or a family-friendly break with man’s best friend by your side.

Original fireplaces, tiled floors and latched doors add character and charm to this delightful cottage, while country-style furniture ensures a cosy and welcoming ambiance. The front door leads directly into a snug lounge, ideal for curling up with your current read or chilling with a glass of wine, while your dogs snooze in front of the wood burner. The modern, galley-style kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, to be shared round the dining table or in the rear courtyard garden. This small but wonderful space also has a bench in a sunny corner, perfect for a morning cuppa or an evening tipple, while your pups potter contently around your feet. In keeping with cottages from this era, the shower room is on the ground floor, while upstairs a tastefully furnished double room invites a restful night’s sleep. This leads to a single room with an additional pull-out bed, making it ideal for families.

Sniff out adventure from your front door, as you peruse independent shops, dog-friendly eateries, and historic buildings in Bungay, including the ruins of Bungay Castle. From here you can pick up the Bigod Way, a 5.5-mile circular walk around Outney Common.

Lovely cottage, clean and tidy. Well decorated, pretty garden. All amenities, no hairdryer so take your own with you! If I was to look for a little moan it would be the parking, if you can get the spaces in the next road then you can stay until 10am but if you have to park outside the cottage only until 9am.

It was a pleasant cottage, well equipped for our needs and centrally located. Shame about the building work which started up first thing Monday morning and carried on solidly all day!

Nice cottage although not suitable for elderly/infirm due to the staircase. Bungay is OK as a base but not much else to do there - castle was inaccessible due to structural problems whilst we were there. Ice cream shop is a winner. Food at Fleece Inn was really good (especially Sunday roast - best to need to reserve a table Staircase is not suitRead moreable for ANYONE with the slightest mobility issues. Hide

A beautiful and very well equipped holiday cottage in a bustling town with lots of great cafes, restaurants and shops. The town also has lots of history and lots of opportunities to embrace and learn about it. We loved Bungay. The cottage is very characterful with a fun layout that worked well for us. My partner is tall and banged his head a fewRead more times but just something to be mindful of if you are tall. Others have commented on the steep stairs, these weren't problematic for us especially as there is very sympathetically placed rails to hold onto. The cottage is beautifully decorated and styled throughout. It was a lovely space to be in but be mindful if you want to watch a bit of TV it's a teeny tele. Another plus for us was the well equipped kitchen and gorgeous secluded garden. A BBQ would have been welcomed especially with the incredible local butcher and fishmonger around the corner. The cottage is positioned on a very busy road (day and night) and the bedroom is road facing so if you are sensitive to traffic noise for sleeping this may not be the cottage for you. Hide
