Embrace nature with friends and family in this charming cottage in the quaint village of Dunwich. Enjoy relaxing walks through the surrounding countryside or along the coast, before refuelling in the cosy village pub or sharing a family BBQ in the beautiful garden. The seaside resort of Southwold is 9 miles away and the ancient market town of Framlingham is within 15 miles.

The characterful cottage is warm and inviting, with traditional furniture, rustic decor, and period features. The heart of the home is a spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, where you can rustle up delicious feasts using local ingredients and come together for memorable mealtimes as a group. In the evenings, relax in the cosy lounge, reading in the glow of the open fire or watching a film on the Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom, shower room, and utility room. The three remaining bedrooms are upstairs, one of which has a beautiful en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. There’s also a family bathroom and an office area with a desk on the landing. A vast, enclosed garden envelops the property, with a lawn where children can play, a climbing frame, and a patio area with furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining.

The landscape surrounding Dunwich is a paradise for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. Enjoy remote hikes across the heath and through the forests at Dunwich Heath National Trust, or head to RSPB Minsmere to marvel at the area’s rare seabirds. Dunwich has a charming, shingle beach that’s perfect for peaceful picnics on a summer’s afternoon. A 3-mile coastal walk leads to the idyllic village of Walberswick and from here you can hop on the foot ferry across to the popular resort of Southwold, where you’ll find a myriad of traditional seaside attractions.

The cottage is lovely and was perfect for our family trip. Loved the family kitchen, separate living room and massive garden which we used a lot with the hot weather. Cottage located 15 mins walking to a nice pub and stoned beach. Nearest shop/supermarket are a car journey away and there are Plenty of woodland walks also just outside the front doorRead more although they were closed off due to the big fire. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend Hide

The overall experience was very positive as the house was homely and had not been furnished to satisfy a rental demand , rather left as a family home which we liked. The beds were very comfortable , bathrooms all good quality fittings with a great downstairs shower .The garden was dream for our grandchildren and a safe area to play in , the dog alRead moreso enjoyed the garden which was escape proof. The area is very well placed for many walks into the surrounding woods and heathland. The owners have provided many books , maps and details of the surrounding area which were very useful. Dunwich beach is a 15 minute easy walk. Southwald is a 20 minute drive and well worth the vist. Excellent week in pleasant house. One point - This is the first property in 30 years that did not have a hoover so we could not hoover up the carpets ?. Hide

Beautiful cottage with charm and character, the fully enclosed garden with children's climbing frame was a wonderful asset. A short walk to the beach with a great cafe and pub ( pebbles) and a short drive to dog friendly sandy beach at Southwold. Well equipped, comfortable and a great location.

This is a gorgeous cottage, beautifully furnished with some amazing original features. Really cosy and inviting in the most scenic location. Very clean upon arrival with a much appreciated welcome food and drink hamper. About a 15 minute walk to the wonderful village pub (The Ship) and beach which is totally breath taking. Our first visit to Read moreDunwich and Suffolk as a county - it is so unspoilt. A haven for beach lovers and walkers with so many public/permissive walks to be had locally. We went on a long walk up on the Dunwich Heath and visited the National Trust tearooms - a must ! Would very much like to return to this gem of a historic cottage Hide
