  • Relax and unwind in your private enclosed garden watching the open sea views
  • Ideal coastal getaway for a couple or small family
Property code: OC-C27497

Escape to the coast in this beachfront lodge in the charming village of Kessingland. The holiday home, which is part of a complex of similar properties, sleeps three guests and makes the ideal bolthole for couples and small families looking to explore the Suffolk coast. The village’s rural beach is just 100 metres from the lodge, and you’ll be within easy reach of the seaside resorts of Southwold (11 miles) and Lowestoft (7 miles).

The bright and breezy coastal retreat is decorated in a contemporary style, with little nautical touches reminding you of your fantastic location. The property enjoys fabulous views across the beach and out to sea. The heart of the home is an open-plan lounge/diner, where you can relax in front of the cosy wood burner, watch a movie on the Smart TV, and share delicious dinners at the dining table. An archway leads through to the stylish kitchen, where you’ll find everything you need for a self-catering break. When it’s time for bed, choose from a pretty double bedroom or a single bedroom. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, listen to the sounds of the sea from the swing seat in the enclosed garden, or enjoy an al fresco meal on a summer’s evening.

From the lodge, take peaceful strolls along the shores of the sand and shingle beach, or stride out along the Suffolk Coast Path and marvel at the spectacular coastal views. Nature lovers will adore Benacre National Nature Reserve, at the southern end of the beach, with its rare seabirds and fascinating local wildlife. For a day on the water, journey 6 miles to Oulton Broad - the eastern gateway to the Broads. Hire a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard to explore the pretty waterways, or join one of the popular river cruises.

A perfect holiday for us and our dog! No worries with the enclosed garden, we could leave the door open for our dog to wander in and out without any chance of escape! Everything was so clean and well organised and the owner was so friendly and welcoming. We were also happy with the gated access and the parking. The view is gorgeous and we spentRead more a lot of time walking the beach and local area. It was so quiet when we went and it was the perfect holiday for us. I highly recommend this accommodation and we are definitely going back. 5 stars Hide

This is a lovely comfortable chalet with great views over the beach to the sea. The beach is perfect for the dog and just a few steps away. There is a nice dog friendly enclosed garden with a lovely swing seat perfect for a morning coffee or evening glass of wine. A well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds make this a really relaxing holiday.

The cottage is delightful. It is well equipped and very comfortable. It is also ideally placed, within a small group of holiday cottages, close to the beach and only a short walk from a pub and a restaurant. It is ideal for walks along the very peaceful Suffolk coast. We found it perfect for a short break with our young dog.
