Escape to the Suffolk coast at this sleek and bright cottage, a sociable open-plan layout and a garden. Bring up to four other human guests plus one canine companion with you for a holiday filled with lazy beach days, hiking in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and discovering quaint seaside towns.
Step inside and find yourself in a tranquil and minimalistic open-plan living space with a plump sofa and armchair in front of the expansive glass-panelled door which slides open and connects you with the outdoors. Next to this is a dining table with seating for six and a fully fitted farmhouse-style kitchen. There is also a convenient utility room, a family bathroom plus three bedrooms – a king-size with an en-suite, a king-size zip-and-link plus a single bedroom. Outside is an enclosed gravelled garden with furniture.
During your stay on the outskirts of the small town of Leiston, you’ll have a handful of restaurants and shops within 0.5 miles – as well as an Edwardian theatre and a bakery. For the history and architecture addicts, the 1182 Leiston Abbey ruins are 1 mile away. Head into the nearby Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and spend a day relaxing on the sand and shingle, canine-friendly Thorpeness Beach (3.5 miles). Near here is an abundance of walking trails around the RSPB North Warren nature reserve (3 miles) – which is great for bird watching and being amongst nature. Continue south to reach the picturesque and historic town of Aldeburgh (4.5 miles).
