A delightful country hideaway with an impeccably manicured garden oasis, set near the sleepy Suffolk village of Frostenden. Brimming with cottage charm, this bolthole is perfect for couples or solo travellers holidaying alongside their four-pawed companion. Pack a picnic and amble along the rugged shoreline of Covehithe Beach (3 miles), before tucking into an al fresco supper in the leafy courtyard.
This characterful property boasts a relaxing interior with warm wooden details, a neutral colour palette, and homely patchwork fabrics. Ease out of sandy shoes, towel off soggy paws, and venture into the open-plan living space. Unwind on the plump sofas or whip up a fresh summer snack board in the compact kitchen. Throw open the double doors and settle in for a leisurely meal in the light-flooded conservatory. After dinner, stretch out on the wicker sofa with dessert and admire the tranquil views across the garden. Completing the ground floor is an airy shower room. Ascend the staircase to find an inviting double with breezy tulle drapes and dual-aspect windows. Embrace balmy mornings lounging in the groomed garden or gear up for some ball-chasing fun on the lawn with your furry pal.
Peddle through lush forests and along light-dappled trails on the Benacre National Nature Reserve loop (2 miles) then admire the striking medieval turrets of the All Saints Church (2 miles). Soak up the nostalgic seaside charm of Southwold (4.5 miles) with a fresh seafood supper on the promenade or laze away sunny afternoons on the shores of Southwold Pier Beach (4.5 miles).
