Escape to this peaceful retreat for two that has a farm shop on the doorstep and is surrounded by countryside. One of four thoughtfully converted properties around a central courtyard, this ground-floor cottage has an enclosed garden to keep your canine companion safe.
One of a small group of holiday homes, this light and airy property welcomes you into a traditionally furnished sitting room where you can stretch out on the sofa, watch a movie or throw open the patio doors for fresh air as you dine in style. Adjacent, the country-style kitchen houses another dining table and all the self-catering essentials, while a shared on-site laundry room offers additional convenience. At the end of a busy day, retire to a peaceful twin bedroom; a shower room close by completes the home-from-home comfort. The secluded courtyard garden here is a sunny spot for al fresco get-togethers; it’s accessed via doors from the living room so Fido can wander in and out at will.
Wangford has friendly pubs plus a village store, and the farm shop on your doorstep offers fresh daily produce for travel-free tasty treats. The Reydon Wood Nature Reserve, less than a mile away, is wonderful for walks with the dog, while elegant Southwold (3 miles) has plenty to enjoy, including an iconic pier and promenade that are perfect for strolls at any time of year. Aside from its stunning coast and countryside, north Suffolk is also a gateway to the Broads National Park – Oulton Broad is 12.5 miles away. No visit to the area would be complete without a walk around Dunwich (7 miles) – known as ‘Suffolk’s Atlantis’ after 13th-century storms swept away most of its buildings, it has a huge beach and the Heath, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty buzzing with wildlife.
