Property code: OC-CHD

Close to the beach and with fantastic views over the marshes and sea, this welcoming period house is in a sought-after location within the unspoilt village of Dunwich. A beautifully decorated interior and a huge, enclosed garden make this an excellent choice for a family get-together or a holiday with friends, bringing three canine companions, too.

Generously sized rooms, brick flooring and exposed beams give this superb property heaps of character. The kitchen and adjoining utility room have all the facilities you’ll need for creating stress-free holiday meals, and the spacious dining room is a pleasure to eat in. Double doors lead to the gorgeous conservatory, which has comfortable seating and marsh views. On the ground floor there’s also an airy double bedroom and a separate bathroom. Via an open staircase, you’ll find the lounge on the first floor, with French doors that make the most of its marsh and sea views. This beautiful room has a vaulted ceiling, timber floor, TV and DVD. Three further bedrooms are on this floor: a king-size with an en-suite shower room, a twin (king-size on request) and a single which has a pull-out option to create a twin. These latter two rooms share a family shower room. As for outside space, children and pets will appreciate the enormous garden, which has a decked area with dining furniture and a BBQ, plus - great for energetic youngsters - an enclosed trampoline.

Dunwich was once a thriving medieval port but is now known as England’s ‘lost city’, and you can see the ruins of a medieval friary. It also has a pebble beach, a large nature reserve and a friendly pub that serves locally sourced food and even offers a special dog menu. For day trips, Southwold and Aldeburgh are both only 10 miles away.

Dunwich is a wonderful Suffolk village. The Coach House suited our dog family very well and truly is a dog friendly cottage (many holiday cottages say they are, but aren't once you arrive. Enjoyed our stay, thank you.

The cottage was very warm and comfortable and in a good location for winter walks. Pity that there was no woodburner or open fire but overall a well equipped cottage. It would be a bit cramped for 8 people but for two couples it was just right

The Coach House, Dunwich, is a superb property. It is very well laid out with two reception areas in addition to the dining room and kitchen. With a 4th bedroom downstairs it is easy to accommodate grandparents on a family holiday. Provision in the property is very generous (it felt as if the owners were sharing their property rather than simplyRead more running a business) and the owners have thought of everything, including for dog owners (which we are not). The location is excellent and the house is full of charm. We would strongly recommend this property and hope to return in due course for a third visit. Hide

Our party comprised three generations of a family - grandparents with flat coated retriever plus son, daughter in law and two grandchildren age 15 and eleven plus their little Maltese terrier.

This property is in the perfect location next to the beach and opposite the pub. Good local walks. The private parking is invaluable peak times and the large dog-safe garden a big plus point for the kids to play in too. It works very well for us (kids aged 12-14 and grandparents who can stay in the ground floor room).
