  • Wonderful holiday home tucked away in a tranquil coastal position
Property code: OC-DAK

A breezy property nestled in a leafy residential area of Halesworth on the North East Suffolk coast. Flooded with natural light, this airy oasis is perfect for groups of friends or couples with a dog seeking a relaxing country escape. Sample a crisp local blend as you saunter through the lush landscape of the Valley Farm Vineyards (3 miles), before settling in for an al fresco summer spread in the tranquil courtyard.

This spacious bungalow boasts an inviting coastal-inspired interior with bright neutral tones, light wood textures, and clean lines. Crunch along the gravel pathway then step into the hallway to shrug off outer layers. Venturing into the lounge/diner, sink onto the soft sofa amongst the plump pillows, and tuck into a post-adventure snack as you debrief on the day’s activities. Set the table for an evening feast, top off glasses with a chilled bottle of fizz, and toast to your special occasion. After dinner, dig out a tub of ice cream from the freezer in the shaker kitchen or prepare a special meaty supper for your hungry hound. Enjoy a relaxing rinse in the tiled family bathroom before turning in for the night. Choose from a peaceful king and an adaptable super-king/twin – each styled in calming colours with coordinating soft furnishings. Sip your morning brew on the patio shaded beneath mature trees or gear up for ball-chasing antics on the grassy lawn.

Peruse the deli delights on offer at the bustling Wednesday market in Halesworth (500 metres) then scope out the cosiest coffee nook for an afternoon pick-me-up. Heading coast-side, ascend the spiral staircase of the towering Southwold Lighthouse (10 miles) on a guided tour or scoff a salty fish supper as you amble along the historic Southwold Pier (10 miles).

We really enjoyed our stay and this very large cottage in a quiet area. The beds were very comfortable, the TV and WiFi worked very well. The large and sunny garden was very useful and the garden chairs comfortable. There are plenty of things to see and do in the area. Southwold is a great place to visit.

Extremely clean, spacious, stylish, well-equipped and, apart from the sofas, comfortable in a quiet and convenient location. We found the sofas extremely difficult to get onto and off, and only the creative use of a (fortunately) large number of cushions allowed us to sit, albeit in not the most comfortable of positions.

This is my second stay in this property following a very pleasant stay last year. It is a well appointed property very close to the centre of Halesworth which has a newly renovated Co-op, a selection of independent shops, several cafes and some good pubs and restaurants. It is close to many lovely places to visit including Southwold and Aldeburgh.

A very comfortable and tasteful interior design to this bungalow. Situated in very convenient location to centre of market town, pubs and restaurants. We particularly liked The Angel/Cleone's where we had drinks and lovely meals - great chef and staff. Handy too for visiting other places. Thoroughly enjoyed our break and would recommend.

Hugely enjoyed our few days at Dakings. Incredibly peaceful. Great location in incredibly peaceful spot yet less than 10 minutes walk into the pretty town of Halesworth. EV charging was a game changer for us. The recommendation of Cleones Italian restaurant was spot on too!
