Property code: OC-HARN

A striking dog-friendly property tucked away in the heart of this charming market town, a popular gateway to the Norfolk Broads. Featuring a stylish open-plan living area, a king-size bedroom and a small courtyard garden, this single-storey gem is perfect for couples seeking a romantic getaway in the Waveney Valley and Norfolk Broads National Park.

Set off a narrow street lined by period properties next to the River Waveney, this contemporary property has been designed and built by local craftsmen. Each room is light and spacious, with stylish decor strewn across hard flooring. Snuggle up in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner throughout the day, a quiet spot for lazy mornings, streaming favourite programmes or romantic meals punctuated by time in the courtyard garden. The shower room offers underfloor heating and there is ample storage space in the king-sized bedroom. French doors lead from the lounge to the attractive courtyard garden, ideal for an alfresco brunch, a quick dognap or a BBQ supper in peace and privacy. A handy utility area can be found in the garage next door. The property benefits from private parking for one car, as well as an EV charger (charges apply).

Beccles is a hive of activity whether you’re on the water or dry land. The mediaeval town is home to a plethora of independent shops, cafes and dog-friendly pubs, as well as being one of the many launch pads for dog-friendly boat journeys up the Waveney and the wider Broads. There are many characterful towns and villages along the Suffolk Heritage Coast with Southwold, Kessingland and Walberswick (within 15.5 miles) amongst the most popular thanks in part to their attractive shorelines.

The Harnser is a very comfortable and well appointed cottage and Alan and Jen are wonderful hosts. Location is perfect, just a stones throw from a choice of supermarkets and Beccles Town centre. Good restaurants and excellent coffee shops within a short walk. Easy access to the coast and the broads for days out.

We Stayed in a well designed comfortable accommodation for two people with every conceivable thought and requirement given to the apartment.I a quiet setting,but close close to the town of Beccles ,with shops and local amenities and attractions within quick accessibility through close by trunk roads.Is worth pointing outing that we found the peopleRead more of Norfolk and Suffolk friendly ,unassuming and nice.On reflection we are already missing this area of the country,and hope to return to Beccles and hopefully 'The Harnser'.
