1 The Firs

Tucked away on the outskirts of the quiet and pretty village of Kelsale, 1 The Firs is a charming countryside bolthole with easy links to the Suffolk Coast. Cosy and characterful, this 2-bedroom cottage is ideal for small families or a couple looking for a little extra space. The cottage benefits from a beautiful countryside location overlooking fields and what’s more, it is pet friendly too!

You are welcomed into a sitting room with dual aspect log burning stove which makes this property great for year-round retreats. Sink into the cosy corner sofa for a movie night in or to share stories of the days spent exploring. Into the dining room which also benefits from the warmth of that dual aspect log burning stove and offers a great space to make memories over a home-cooked meal. The well-equipped kitchen offers just what you need for your self-catering stay. Also on the ground floor is a handy utility space with washing machine and a ground floor shower room.

Two cosy bedrooms await upstairs, one with king size bed and one with twin beds. Full of character, the twin room has exposed timber beams and with eaves either side of the beds. The first floor is completed by the family bathroom with bath with shower attachment, WC and basin.

Kelsale is an idyllic location with delightful walks through Suffolk countryside on the doorstep. Pop into the local pub, The Poachers Pocket for a home cooked meal or, why not head into the market town of Saxmundham to stock up supplies for your stay. A short drive away, you can enjoy days by the coast at Aldeburgh, or Southwold and the RSPB Minsmere is also just a short drive away. Pub: 0.9 miles, Shop: 1.6 miles

What we love about this property: the countryside location and field views make for a truly relaxing location. The enclosed garden makes a great space for alfresco dining and its perfect for pets!
