Property code: OC-FDP

Surrounded by unobstructed views over the surrounding Suffolk countryside, this quaint three-bed terraced cottage makes a brilliant base for you and your tail-waggers to explore the east coast. Visitors will love the mixture of sleepy village life, sandy beachfront, scenic countryside, and never-ending heathland.

Inside the property, you’ll feel right at home whilst still having that getaway buzz. This bright and airy accommodation invites guests to put their feet, and paws, up and recuperate in front of the bare-brick chimney breast housing a toasty wood burner. Unwind together on the socially positioned sofas for those easy-going evenings with the pooches wrapped around your feet. When it’s time to dine, the open-plan kitchen/diner is a great gathering place, passing plates of homemade grub and clinking glasses to your holiday. This well-equipped kitchen opens with French doors to an enclosed garden space, where doggos and kids alike can roam in and out of the sunshine as they please. Wander through to your bedrooms, where nautical hints, light wooden decor and crisp bedding can be found to rest weary heads. On balmy days, enjoy mouthfuls of BBQ fare with the family while deciding your next holiday plan.

Besides charming accommodation, this lovely property has lots of walking trails on its doorstep which is sure to set tails wagging. Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Middleton Moor with your chum by your side before stopping at one of the many pubs, cafes and farm shops in the friendly village of Middleton. For the bird watchers, RSPB Minsmere is 4 miles from the property and has a range of birdlife to behold including marsh harriers, bitterns and avocets. For paws that love to get sandy, two beautiful beaches are within 12 miles of the cottage and are also known for being quirky seaside resorts too - Southwold and Thorpeness.

This is a beautifully-kept, cosy and comfortable cottage on a quiet lane in a very attractive small village. It was very well-equipped with everything we needed, and out two dogs loved the secure garden.

Lovely house, very well stocked kitchen. Garden is very lovely, nicely tended to and brilliant for the dogs. Great for sitting outside in the sun too. They have a baby gate which is really handy so you can shut dogs into the kitchen/dining area.

The cottage was perfect in every way and the secure garden was great for anyone with a dog but dont do what we did just before we left on our last morning, we managed to let our dog escape into the lane through the front door! Some very kind neighbours helped us to catch her but it took a while. We would definitely like to stay again and would be Read moremore careful. Hide

This is a cosy cottage in a lovely quiet village location. Sadly the farm shop is no longer there but the chocolate producer is well worth a visit. There are plenty of other places to visit such as Westleton Common and Minsmere and quiet roads and footpaths making it a great location for exploring the countryside. There are currently some local rRead moreoad closures due to Sizewell C so some routes need careful planning if travelling by road towards Leiston. Hide

Good cottage, well situated for Minsmere and the surrounding villages. Good equipment, but we found the mattresses rather uncomfortable, but adequate for a short stay. Beautiful to sit outside and listen to the birds. Very quiet location which we loved.

We had a delightful 3 night stay at Friday Place. Thanks for accommodating us at such short notice. The village and location was lovely. We were fortunate to experience music night laid on by the locals in the village pub (The Bell) which is only a short distance away and had great food. Great location to visit neighbouring villages such as WesRead moretleton. Also about halfway between Aldeburgh and Southwold. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Big enclosed back garden which backs on to fields. Hide
