Property code: OC-TSBL

Set within the Kelsale countryside, this charming property resides in a peaceful rural location with easy access to the coastline. Explore the on-site gallery, tuck into a pub lunch or venture along some of the stunning trails with your family of four in convoy.

Boasting sleek decor and bright rooms, this delightful property provides the perfect backdrop for those holiday snaps. Feel instantly at home as you make your way in and settle on the plush leather sofas with a glass of fizz in your hand. Find a film on the handy Smart TV and relax together after adventurous days in the Suffolk countryside. Take turns rustling up delicious eats in the farmhouse-style kitchen and spill out to the secluded, sun-dappled courtyard for alfresco feasts. As day turns to night, head up to the first floor for a soak in the luxurious roll-top bathtub before claiming either the airy twin room or the king-size one with panoramic views.

Visiting in and around the Suffolk area, the famous RSPB Minsmere National Reserve (7 miles) is a must, offering plenty of beautiful coastal scenery and the chance to glimpse at avocets, bearded tits, bitterns and other rare wildlife. Children will love playing in the Wild Wood, where they can adventure on a minibeast safari or work as a team to build a den. Stay a little closer to home with a filling pub dinner at the nearby pub, or gather locally-sourced produce to cook culinary creations at your pad. Enjoy sandcastle building on the beach of Dunwich (7 miles) or venture up to Southwold (12 miles) for a traditional seaside day of ice cream parlours, fish and chips, and a peek at its famous pier.
