Wake up to the smell of sea air in this delightful coastal bolthole in Kessingland. The property sleeps three guests and makes a lovely base for a couple or a small family seeking a peaceful retreat close to the sea. You’ll be just 100 metres from the beach, and there are breathtaking coastal walks directly from your front door. The property is perfectly placed for excursions to the Broads (6 miles) and the seaside resorts of Lowestoft (7 miles) and Southwold (11 miles).

The single-storey lodge is set on a complex amongst similar holiday homes. The bright and airy property has an open-plan layout and is decorated in a contemporary style, with vibrant paintwork and sleek furniture. The main hub of the home is a lounge/kitchen/diner, with a cosy wood burner for chilly evenings and a Smart TV for enjoying movie nights together. Whip up tasty meals in the stylish kitchen area to share at the table by the window. There are two inviting bedrooms – a double and a single – as well as a family bathroom. Outside, sip a morning coffee on the bistro set in the enclosed courtyard. Guests also have shared use of a large, grassed area, and the beach is just 100 metres away.

The quaint village of Kessingland has a number of independent shops and a cosy village pub. Spend lazy afternoons on the sand and shingle beach, soaking up the sunshine and searching for fossils, or stride out along the Suffolk Coast Path for breathtaking sea views. At the southern end of the beach is Benacre National Nature Reserve, where you can marvel at a myriad of rare seabirds. Further afield, enjoy a day trip to Lowestoft, where you’ll find a vast, sandy beach, iconic pier, traditional amusements, and a family theme park.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Seashore very close but some annoying steps if there are mobility problems. Local pub 'The Sailors Home' has a delicious menu (beautifully cooked and more than reasonably priced) and a large selection of even more delicious cask ales. Chippy, Chinese both good. Adequate shops in village but a large shopping esRead moretate a few minutes down the A12. Too many beautiful places to mention. Owner, Michelle and helper Elaine more than willing to assist where necessary. Hide
