The coastal hideaway boasts a prime position, just 100 metres from Kessingland’s beautiful beach. The property sleeps five guests and is ideal for families and groups of friends looking to explore this fabulous stretch of the Suffolk coast. The popular seaside town of Southwold is 11 miles away and you can also enjoy day trips to the Broads, with Oulton Broad just 6 miles away. In the evenings, unwind in the bubbling hot tub or snuggle up with a glass of wine by the cosy wood burner.

The lodge sits amongst similar holiday homes, in a delightful seaside complex. The bright and breezy accommodation is decorated in a contemporary style, with little pops of colour throughout. At the heart of the home is an open-plan lounge/diner, with a Smart TV, wood burner, and spectacular views across the beach. Just off the living area is a sleek kitchen, with everything you need for a stress-free, self-catering break. The lodge has three inviting bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. Outside, the enclosed garden looks out across Kessingland’s beach, and has a choice of areas for relaxation, including a swing bench, sun loungers, and hot tub. You’ll also find outdoor furniture and a BBQ for al fresco entertaining.

Kessingland’s rural beach is made up of sand and shingle, and is a lovely spot for a peaceful picnic and fossil hunting. At the far end of the beach is Benacre National Nature Reserve, which is home to a fascinating array of rare seabirds. You’ll be close to some excellent family attractions, including Africa Alive Zoological Reserve (1.5 miles), where you can meet the resident lions, giraffes, and meerkats. Heading south, you’ll soon reach Southwold, a thriving seaside resort with a sandy beach, colourful beach huts, traditional arcades, and a great range of eateries.

Lovely location step out of the property onto the coastal path and onto the all year round dog friendly beach, the view from the property is fabulous you can see the beach and sea and there is also a lovely little garden with furniture to relax on on those hot sunny days. Walk 10 minutes along the beach and you come to a nice little cafe and the SRead moreailors rest pub serving food all day or if you fancy it Fish and chips in the local chip shop. There is also a nature reserve at the end of the beach for those interested, helps to have a car if you want to go exploring nearby towns and villages and the costal towns are fabulous. The property itself needs updating as its tired and the cleaning could have been better, the seating is a bit strange not enough relaxing seating for the amount of people accommodated for but ample if not to much dining seating. There was however everything we needed for our stay plenty of cooking equipment and crockery and the welcome pack was much appreciated and little touches like gift toiletries. We stayed in May when in other parts of the country and some Suffolk towns dont allow dogs on the beach between May- Sept Kessingland beach is an all year round dog friendly beach so ideal for those taking their canine family with them to explore.
