Escape with your loved ones to this delightful cottage tucked away on a quiet residential street just one mile outside the bustling market town of Beccles. Sleeping four people across two bedrooms, this is a perfect accommodation choice for small families or groups of friends looking for a characterful cottage to call home while they explore the calm beauty of the Suffolk countryside together. In the morning, head into to Beccles to browse the shops, before making a beeline for Beccles Lido for a swim. In the evening, come home and get everyone together for a feast in the cottage’s courtyard garden.

Park in your private parking spot and make your way to your cottage. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by an inviting living space that boasts a central inglenook fireplace with a wood burner. Take a moment to appreciate the exposed beams and quaint rustic decor before heading to the farmhouse-style kitchen area to whip up some dinner to share at the dining table.

Completing the ground floor, you’ll find a handy family bathroom with a bath and shower. At the end of the day, climb the traditional cottage stairs and you’ll find two stylish double bedrooms on the first floor.

Discover the beauty of the Broads National Park (1 mile), where winding waterways, diverse wildlife and peaceful trails invite you to unwind in nature.

The cottage is comfortable, well equipped, and spotlessly clean throughout. As it's an old cottage, the stairs are steep and the bathroom is downstairs, but as long as you're prepared for that, it's not a problem at all. We loved all the traditional touches, like the wooden and stone floors and the original fireplaces you can tell the owners have Read moreput a lot of thought into the decor. Everything we needed was provided, including a TV with Firestick, washing machine, comfy furniture, and a beautifully appointed bathroom. The location is excellent. You can see the boats from the front gate, and it's just a short walk down to the river and the park. We didn't use our car all week instead we enjoyed the easy walk into town and the shops, along with the river and park walks. There's also a bus stop just around the corner running into town; the only reason we didn't use it ourselves was that our dogs get travel sick, but otherwise it would have been an easy trip to Lowestoft too. As for the parking space, we had no trouble with it at all, as my husband was able to reverse in and out when needed. The owner was very helpful and friendly, as were all the local people we met during our stay. We loved every minute of it and would be happy to recommend this cottage to friends and family. Hide

We enjoyed our stay at dumpling cottage, lovely hosts and friendly neighbours, well positioned particularly for the quay and access to walks over the marshes. Only downside is with the road being a dead end manouevering off the road is challenging

Cosy little cottage in a great position within easy walking distance of the river and the town. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the wine, biscuits and other essentials. Stairs definitely not suitable for anyone with mobility issues but were in our seventies and coped fine. No room to turn the car round unless the neighbours arRead moree out so you have to reverse up the road. But very clean and well equipped and a good base to explore this lovely area. Hide
