With space for four guests, and two dogs welcome, too, it offers the perfect set-up for a family trip or holiday among nature-loving friends.

Step inside this single-level home to find a bright and airy open-plan living area comprising a lounge, kitchen and dining area. This space features a charming semi-vaulted ceiling, beautiful wooden beams and raw brickwork contributing to its rustic look and feel.

Overall an excellent cottage, great location (gate straight into field edges was a real bonus), plus having the benefit of knowing the garden was secure for our dog.

There are numerous walking paths accessible from the property, ideal for those who love to explore and those with four legged friends.

The owners have thought of everything, this property is out of the way but easily accessible to nearby towns and beach resorts.

Suffolk An absolute find!This is an absolutely stunning barn conversion with exceptional outdoor facilities that include a 4seat hot tub, a ceramic bbq, comfy patio seating all under a fabulous timber framed, tin roofed garden room/patio.Not only is the outside a treat but this 2bed barn comfortably sleeps 4 adults & is done to such a high standaRead morerd youll regret leaving it!This place has underfloor heating throughout & a freestanding log burner in a vaulted lounge with exposed beams. The two bedrooms are well appointed too, master has en-suite with walk in shower, main bathroom too has a large walk in shower, both from the oil fired combi boiler.Beautiful oak planked doors throughout and wood plank effect LVT through every room makes this place that bit above the rest!We took our two Labradors with us, our eldest has joint issues & isnt good on smooth floors but this LVT is clearly a non slip version making life that bit easier for Poppy. Upon unpacking we realised there wasnt an ironing board or iron, we mentioned it to the owners(who live behind) & the very next morning they dropped a new one in! In addition Id asked a favour of them to arrange some flowers for my wife as it was our wedding anniversary & I would pay on arrival - these too arrived as promised & were stunning. The one issue we found was achieving dry towels- as its all underfloor heating theres no radiators- just use the drying rack from the twin bedroom cupboard & stand it in the cupboard next to the kitchen with the boiler in it- boots, swim wear, towels - all dry next day!Whilst staying here we visited several places, these were well worth visiting & worth sharing:-Whitlingham country park - just on the outer edge of Norwich, great sandwiches/cakes from the flint barn cafe & great place to walk the dogs round the lakes & through the woodlands.Framlingham castle - worth a visit, dog friendly too.Southwold beach(The Denes) also dog friendly & at the car park there is a great pub - The Sail Loft well worth a visit.Just one last mention - takeaway pizzas, if you want them delivering to the barn theres a leaflet in the folder under the tv (pizza plus) best pizza weve ever had!
