Property code: OC-EGV

Spend many happy hours exploring the Suffolk coastline whilst holidaying in this impressive single-level property. Comfortably sleeping five, this spacious cottage is perfect for a family wanting to walk heather-clad heathland and spend long days at the beach with their beloved four-legged friend. After days out, return to the warmth and comfort of the wood burner.

Stylishly decorated, this charming home is full of character and furnished with all the needed home comforts. The living room blends quirky furniture with cosy interiors; a roaring wood burner is the centrepiece of the space and with a good book and Rover curled up at your feet, you’ll never want to leave. For those warmer days, open up the bi-fold doors onto numerous seating areas and a vast manicured lawn, well-suited for your canine companion to burn off some of that extra energy. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped, modern kitchen, plus there’s a handy storage room for leads, coats and dog biscuits. At the end of a chilly day, bathe in the luxurious tub and know you’re not going to be disturbed thanks to the extra WC down the hall. When it’s time to hit the hay, you’ll have a choice of a pretty twin room, a lovely single or a double bedroom that opens onto the garden, perfect for those quiet morning coffees.

Grab the lead and stroll through the quintessential village of Westleton. You’ll stumble upon gorgeous countryside trails right from your doorstep or you can drive 9 miles to the shingle shoreline of Aldeburgh where you’ll have the opportunity to sample mouthwatering local fare at one of the many dog-friendly gastropubs. Bird-watching enthusiasts will love this location as RSPB Minsmere is within 2.5 miles of the property and is home to marsh harriers, bitterns and avocets.

Overall, house was excellent. Lots of great information was provided in welcome pack. House was comfortable, well furnished (loved the decor) and practical (from a dog owner perspective). The garden space was a great too. Great walking from house

A great location in a lovely small village with good pub and a small shop. We enjoyed visiting Dunwich, Aldeburgh and Southwold which were only short drives away.

We had a brilliant stay at Number Eight. It is a warm and comfortable bungalow with a very well-provisioned kitchen and comfortable beds. The heating and the shower are both excellent, and having the extra WC works well when there are 5 adults. We enjoyed all our meals in the house and visited Dunwich for walking and the fantastic museum, and Read moreMinsmere for walks and birds - we saw marsh harriers, bittern and snipe, over and above the usual wading birds and ducks.

Excellent holiday home in a fantastic village location. Just returned from a week stay with our dog and the home had everything you could possibly need to ensure a great stay.

We had a wonderfully comfortable and relaxing stay in this clean and very generously equipped cottage. The location is great, as the village of Westleton is very pretty and Dunwich is a short drive. We have stayed before and are looking forward to staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay at Number 8. It is in a great location, close to the village of Westleton and the coast, and is very private. Our children enjoyed playing in the large garden, and all of the accommodation being on one level was a great benefit for us. The shower was great as well, not often something found in holiday homes. There were a few issRead moreues with the cleanliness of the property - the general areas, such as kitchen and bathroom, were clean. However, there was quite a lot of dust and cobwebs in most of the rooms. Also, although we were given a bag full of goodies which was lovely, there were no bin bags and no spare toilet paper or kitchen roll (that we could find). We ended up having to buy these basics ourselves. Hide
