This timber-framed building situated in a rural setting of fields is ideal for a holiday for two guests. All on one level, the cabin is situated within the owner's grounds and provides accommodation for those who are looking for a quiet setting yet only 7 miles from Southwold with its lighthouse, pretty beach and iconic pier.

Enter the property and be wowed by the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. It’s a lovely space with dual-aspect windows, exposed wooden beams and a vaulted ceiling. There’s a sofa and armchair around the TV and behind this a dining table for two guests. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed for a pleasant self-catering stay. Move through to the double bedroom which has plenty of light thanks to further dual-aspect windows, and the shower room with a walk-in shower means you’ll be fully refreshed each day. The wraparound garden area has a beautiful lawn and garden furniture for dining alfresco.

The village of Henstead provides easy access to the Suffolk Heritage Coast. The village has two pubs and is within a short drive from the market town of Beccles (6 miles). Other close attractions are Southwold (7 miles), Oulton Broad (7 miles) and Covehithe (4 miles). The fine city of Norwich with its cathedral and castle is only 26.5 miles away. There are many good pubs, restaurants, shops, lovely walks, bird watching at RSPB Minsmere, fishing, boat hire and trips, all but a short drive away. This lodge is an ideal base to discover and explore this beautiful area.

A lovely cottage in a gorgeous place. Watching the birds was wonderful. Everywhere we wanted to go was within a 30 minute drive or less which was great. We didnt see the owner until Wednesday but he seemed a lovely chap. I must say it was absolutely brilliant to have a booklet with all the user guides in & even telling you how to reset the boiler iRead moren case of a power cut. I would definitely stay here again.

A comfortable, cosy and quiet cottage and a good centre for exploring the Suffolk coast and heathlands. The cottage was secluded and we could watch the birds from our breakfast table. There is a nice little garden which could be used in the summer. Good all round!

Meadow Cabin is a lovely place to stay. The accommodation and garden setting are idyllic. Maybe a little remote from a shop or pub for some people, but if you want peace and solitude, this is the place for you.

It was a very comfortable cabin in a delightful setting. Excellent information about locality and instructions for appliances. We really enjoyed seeing the hens, pheasant with chicks, moorhen wandering around with chicks. I suspect we will be back before too long. We had a lovely holiday.

The cabin is quiet and away from town and village life. You need a car to get anywhere. Nearest pub and shops are 2.5 miles away, you need a car though as you'd have to walk along the A12 to get to it which we didn't realise. If you want to be totally excluded from everything and everyone it's perfect.
