Property code: OC-FDP

Get away from it all at this quaint terraced cottage sitting in the delightful traditional village of Middleton. Sleeping four people across three bedrooms, this spacious home is an excellent choice for small families or groups of friends in search of a relaxing cottage to call home while they explore Suffolk’s breathtaking coastline and tranquil heaths. Spend wonderful days strolling the sands at Dunwich Beach or spotting wildlife at RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve; and in the evening, come home to this welcoming cottage to fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine alfresco while you soak up the country views from the garden.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a bright and cheerful sitting room with subtle coastal-themed styling. Take a moment to make yourself at home in front of the glowing wood burner before heading to the stylish open-plan kitchen/diner. Rustle up some dinner for your loved ones in the spacious kitchen area and serve it in the cosy dining area. Head out through the French doors to the garden if you prefer to dine alfresco. After dinner, enjoy a drink on the patio while the stars come out, or head back to the sitting room to chill out in front of the TV. When the day is done there are three beautifully-styled bedrooms to choose from upstairs.

Grab your binoculars and have a wonderful day at RSPB Minsmere Nature Reserve (4 miles). Keep your eyes peeled for avocet, marsh harriers, otters and water voles. Or hop on a boat and sail over to the picturesque town of Southwold (11 miles), which is known for its colourful beach huts and iconic pier.

Generally good cottage but a couple of irritations. Car parking was very tight, even for a small sports car. Had we travelled in our 4x4 there would have been problems with next door. The oven and hob caused a lot of unnecessary stress. The hob rings kept turning themselves down when trying to boil a saucepan. The oven was operating well under tempRead moreerature even though the stat was working. The fan setting was the worst with the bottom of the oven significantly lower than the top; fan ovens are supposed even heat throughout. Hide

Property was as described, very clean and well equipped. The garden furniture was functional, however a little uncomfortable for a long period of time, and as the weather was beautiful, some more comfortable seats would have been nice.

We always overpack the car with items we might need! Fridays place was so well equipped that we didnt need any of the extras. Spotless throughout. The garden was perfect for our two dogs. A very relaxing place to stay.

Hard frosts and bright blue skies added to the attraction and cosiness of the cottage; lots of dog-walking on the local footpaths. We had a great time!

A mixed bag of weather, 4 unexpected glorious sunny, hot days! A couple of wet days, no problem with the local surroundings as plenty to do. We enjoyed the Cottage and its surroundings, thank you for everything.

Lovely little cottage with great back garden. Our 10yo really liked the smallest bedroom, which almost felt like his own little den, and the teen loved having a room to himself as well. Really appreciated the welcome tray with fruit cake and milk in the fridge at the end of a long journey!
