Property code: OC-B30501

Soak up the sunshine under the great Suffolk skies with your happy hound by your side. This delightful, former fisherman’s cottage at Kessingland is paw-fect for guests with a pup in tow. Sleeping four people, the two-bedroom retreat is situated less than 1 mile from the wide, open sandy beach where furry friends can run without restriction. Return to relax together inside the cosy cottage or out in its enclosed courtyard garden.

Rub sandy paws and enter via the porch, where you can hang dog leads and jackets and leave beach shoes and walking boots. Find yourselves in the lounge/diner, where you can give your chum some love and attention as you watch the Smart TV or plan the following day’s dog-friendly activities. The kitchen beyond is well designed to provide everything you need to help you cater for your party using the fresh Suffolk ingredients you have sourced close by. Top up your pal’s food and water bowls in here too, then dine in style back through in the main room. After the kitchen there is a contemporary family bathroom and additional useful storage space. Let your chum bed down here while you venture up to the gorgeous king-size or double bedroom on the first floor. Open the door to the courtyard garden on warm days so your delighted dog can wander outside. There is private, off-road parking for one car here.

Plan an afternoon out to spectacular Covehithe Beach, 5 miles away, where your waggy-tailed pal can leave pawprints on the sand and splash in the shallows. Benacre National Nature Reserve, 3 miles away, is dog friendly too. Spend time exploring the beautiful Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, which begin about 6.5 miles away. Here you can follow footpaths and hire day cruisers that welcome four-legged friends on board.

We and the hairy hound enjoyed our week at Three Birds cottage, had daily walks along the grassy dunes at Kessingland beach. Walked to Lowestoft one day (about five miles) had tea/cake at Thatched Cottage then caught the bus back. Saturdays theres tea/cake at the community centre on the green opposite the church or pop along to the Mancave (CharRead moreity where they fix things for a donation) have a chat/cuppa with the local chaps. Drove to Southwold, Waberswick, Beccles, Aldeburgh all easy to get to, you can also catch the bus from Kessingland. The only negative was the fire doors in every room which were difficult to open as heavy and snapped shut, perhaps they could be adjusted? The cottage is in a great location, spotless, had a contemporary decor with a high standard of fixtures and every possible quality extra you could ask for. Didnt use any of the local restaurants.

The Cottage is very well situated for visiting many places along the coast. It is exceptionally well equipped and really comfortable. It is in a quiet area and the neighbours were pleasant and helpful. My only problem was that many of the doors in the cottage are really heavy to open and close.

Overall it was a clean comfortable cottage. Our only downside was having to go downstairs in the night for the toilet. I wouldnt recommend this cottage to friends due to downstairs toilet.

3 Birds Cottage is tucked away off the main road and during our stay we found it to be quite quiet and comfortable. Incredibly well equipped with a homely atmosphere. The bathroom is downstairs but we were aware of that before booking. Theres a small area to sit outside in the back with roses and a cherry tree and pots of herbs which are useful shRead moreould you want to use them if cooking any meals.

The cottage was superbly equipped, the owner had thought of everything and I mean everything, the complimentary tray was lovely, loved the little bottles of milk, and the coffee was lovely

A third dining chair would of been better than the bench which was suggested in the holiday pack.

A bath is not too important particularly when having to climb in and out to use the shower. Would suggest a wet room or shower cubicle would improve the situation.
