Embrace nature with friends and family in this charming cottage in the quaint village of Dunwich. Enjoy relaxing walks through the surrounding countryside or along the coast, before refuelling in the cosy village pub or sharing a family BBQ in the beautiful garden. The seaside resort of Southwold is 9 miles away and the ancient market town of Framlingham is within 15 miles.

The characterful cottage is warm and inviting, with traditional furniture, rustic decor, and period features. The heart of the home is a spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, where you can rustle up delicious feasts using local ingredients and come together for memorable mealtimes as a group. In the evenings, relax in the cosy lounge, reading in the glow of the open fire or watching a film on the Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom, shower room, and utility room. The three remaining bedrooms are upstairs, one of which has a beautiful en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. There’s also a family bathroom and an office area with a desk on the landing. A vast, enclosed garden envelops the property, with a lawn where children can play, a climbing frame, and a patio area with furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining.

The landscape surrounding Dunwich is a paradise for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. Enjoy remote hikes across the heath and through the forests at Dunwich Heath National Trust, or head to RSPB Minsmere to marvel at the area’s rare seabirds. Dunwich has a charming, shingle beach that’s perfect for peaceful picnics on a summer’s afternoon. A 3-mile coastal walk leads to the idyllic village of Walberswick and from here you can hop on the foot ferry across to the popular resort of Southwold, where you’ll find a myriad of traditional seaside attractions.

A perfect house for a family gathering - we had a great time and our three year old loved the big, safe garden. There was plenty of space for all of us (5 adults and toddler) and everything was comfortable and good quality throughout.

This is a gorgeous cottage, beautifully furnished with some amazing original features. Really cosy and inviting in the most scenic location. Very clean upon arrival with a much appreciated welcome food and drink hamper. About a 15 minute walk to the wonderful village pub (The Ship) and beach which is totally breath taking. Our first visit to Read moreDunwich and Suffolk as a county - it is so unspoilt. A haven for beach lovers and walkers with so many public/permissive walks to be had locally. We went on a long walk up on the Dunwich Heath and visited the National Trust tearooms - a must ! Would very much like to return to this gem of a historic cottage Hide

What a wonderful location in the woods where we saw loads of wildlife. The garden is perfect for green woodpeckers, a grey squirrel, a rabbit and other birds. Everything you need in the cottage and it is very comfortable. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Woodberry Cottage is beautiful. Set in woodland, it is a perfect retreat. The standard of fixtures and fittings is high. It was unfortunate we had an issue with the hot water supply, which was not resolved for 5 days.
