This gorgeous period cottage is located in the pretty market town of Beccles, offering a homely and cosy base from which to explore this scenic part of Suffolk. It’s a lovely terraced house in a central location, with pubs, shops and the local train station all within 0.5 miles. Fans of water-based activities will love the close proximity to Beccles Lido and River Waveney (both 150 metres). With space for up to four guests in its two bedrooms, this quaint accommodation is ideal for a family or small group keen for a relaxing holiday with up to one dog.
Enter the front door directly into an open-plan living area with stunning exposed beams and a quality wooden floor. A super-comfy sofa sits opposite a brickwork fireplace housing a cosy electric wood burner for those chilly nights. Tuck into leisurely meals at the dining table, positioned below a mullioned sash window providing another rustic touch. The small-but-perfectly-formed kitchen is located towards the back of the house, and there’s a sweet courtyard outside where you can sip morning coffee in the fresh air. There’s also a small outdoor space out the front equipped with a bistro set.
Beccles is a medieval town on the Suffolk/Norfolk border with a rich history and a vibrant atmosphere – while away a morning wandering around its independent shops before heading for a coffee in one of many cafes. The town is a gateway to the Broads National Park, with excellent walks leaving straight from your front door (the dog’ll certainly be happy!) and boating opportunities on the river. For a change of scenery, head east to the Suffolk Heritage Coast where you’ll find a splendid coastline peppered with pristine beaches and quaint villages to explore.
