Immerse yourself in life on a working farm at this traditionally styled cottage for couples near the Suffolk coast. Boasting a cosy open-plan living area, this property encourages guests to unwind and make the most of the time they have with their loved ones. Make the most of being beside the sea by spending a day at the beautiful Kessingland Beach (4 miles) for invigorating walks along the shingle shore all year round which is sure to set tails wagging.

The open-plan living room/kitchen/diner is characterful with exposed beams across the ceilings and rich tones of red and terracotta. Here you can sink into the velvet sofas to watch a film or set up an evening of board games on the dining table to a spot of friendly competition. Meanwhile, the kitchen area is small but perfectly formed with a Belfast sink and all the facilities you need to prepare meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. The bedrooms are accessible via the charming wooden staircase, leading you to the elegant bedrooms, one of which features a double bed whilst the other has a single bed. Finally, the bathroom completes the interior layout with a wood-panelled bathtub and overhead shower. The garden comprises an intimate seating area with far-reaching views of the countryside where you could easily lose hours watching the world go by.

For something a little more unusual, why not pay a visit to Thorpeness Meare (22 miles)? This unique location is home to a whimsical lake with tail-wagging walks, ornamental gardens and plenty of things to see and do for all the family, including pups! Enjoy a taste of city life with a visit to Norwich where you’ll find a whole host of dog-friendly cafes, shops and restaurants to enjoy alongside the rich local history and culture.

Very nice cottage and friendly owners. We enjoyed our stay and found plenty of interesting places to visit in the surrounding area. We were recommended Carlton marshes by the owner and had a very interesting day wildlife and bird spotting.

If youre looking for peace and quiet, this is the place. The only sound you sometimes hear is the gentle and comforting bleating of the sheep on the farm. No traffic noises or anything to disturb the calmness of the surroundings. Easy to find and well located for excursions to both Suffolk and Norfolk.

Charming cottage. Great location. Lots of places to visit. Good walks. Heather & Martin were great hosts. Heather met us on arrival and it was the small touches like milk, tea and biscuits ready for us. Martin kept us in supply of fruit from his trees. Very peaceful and relaxing.

A very comfortable cottage in a lovely quiet and safe location. Low beams might be an issue with some but not for us! Lots of gentle walks from the cottage and no distance from places of interest.

Absolutely love this cottage. Stayed twice as it's an ideal spot for both east coast and down as far as Ipswich. Lovely, quiet and comfortable. Forgot to buy honey this year. Ah well always another time. Thank you to our lovely hosts.

The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The setting is beautiful, completely immersed in the Suffolk countryside. As an EV driver it was a huge bonus to have the use of a charger at the property, and meant we didn't have to seek one out when travelling around Suffolk and Norfolk.

Had a wonderful break at Pond Dairy cottage. The cottage itself is charming and compact, but plenty big enough for 2 or 3 people, and my dog was also well catered for. The double bed was extremely comfortable, and everything you may need is provided. The cottage is in beautiful surroundings, next to fields of sheep and chickens, and it was a joy toRead more see the ducks and their babies by the pond. The hosts, Martin and Heather, were friendly and helpful, and the garden beautifully kept.
