  • Chic, contemporary single storey property, so suitable for the less mobile, in the village of Snape
  • Bright, spacious rooms and a patio garden with mature planting. Takes two dogs too

Property code: OC-SFTBH

A delightful single-level home which is ideal for families or friends looking for a relaxing holiday close to Suffolk's Heritage Coast. In a quiet and central location, it is only half a mile walk to Snape Maltings with its magnificent concert hall, shops, galleries, and restaurants. Walkers will enjoy having access to the Suffolk Coast Path from Snape.

This spacious, bright, and airy property has a stylish and contemporary feel that creates a relaxed atmosphere from the moment you enter. There is one step at the front door. The soothing tones and bold colours of the artwork bring a gentle vibrancy to the main living area. This large, open-plan space is a delightful social area with comfortable seating and a wood burner to keep you snug in the cooler months. The kitchen is equipped with all the equipment you need to cook up a storm. There are three bedrooms - one king-size with en-suite shower room, one twin and one single. A family bathroom with bath, a small step in shower and WC completes this lovely cottage. The garden is also safe for families with children and has a BBQ and picnic table for al fresco dining on sunny evenings.

Boat trips from Snape Maltings along the river are a lovely day out for all the family. Or head to Aldeburgh (6 miles) on the coast and enjoy a traditional day by the sea with your buckets and spades while eating ice creams. Orford (7.5 miles) is a must-see spot where you can go crabbing on the quay, explore a 12th-century castle and, if you book the boat in advance, you can take a trip to Orford Ness and Havergate Island. For a day of mystery, visit the lost town of Dunwich (17 miles), once a medieval port, where you can now walk along the beach and explore the beautiful heath.

We enjoyed our stay at the blue house. It was clean and well equipped and the welcome pack was a thoughtful touch. We were thankful for our thick jumpers as the house wasnt very warm.

Well appointed property, sadly a storm took the fence and wall down on the first evening which meant the garden wasn't dog safe.

This property was perfect location and as its all on one level great for less mobile people. Sleeping area separate from living space and therefore nice and quiet for those that like to have a lay-in. It did have everything you would need and a generous welcome gift (wine, biscuits etc).

Very comfortable and quiet location. Beautifully decorated. The only suggestions I would make are: (1) Some reasonable wine glasses are provided - the only ones there were more like thick ice cream sundae glasses and awful to drink out of! Appreciate that glasses are easily broken, but inexpensive ones can be provided. (2) To provide sufficient liqRead moreuid soap in bathrooms / kitchen that hasn't been watered down. These two points seem penny pinching and detract from the otherwise excellent quality of everything. Hide

Unjustifiably expensive, we are restricted as a family by disability so cannot easily go abroad as we used to or we would, rather than pay inflated prices for a UK cottage. That said the cottage was nice, lovely garden. We did have a problem with the hot water but this was resolved very quickly by very pleasant staff.
