Description

Nestled on the Suffolk coast, Dunwich boasts a rich heritage in a pretty and tranquil setting. Embark on a journey through time by visiting the Dunwich Museum, where artefacts and exhibits chronicle the village's fascinating past. Nature enthusiasts will find solace in the nearby Dunwich Heath, a National Trust site known for its vibrant heathland and coastal views whilst hikers can traverse the Suffolk Coastal Path and enjoy breath taking landscapes and birdwatching opportunities. For a relaxing day, Dunwich Beach offers a serene retreat, with its pebbled shores and soothing waves. Bring a picnic and while away the day or pop to the local pubs and seafood eateries that provide a taste of regional produce to complete your experience. Whether exploring historical remnants, revelling in natural beauty, or enjoying a taste of the region, Dunwich and its surroundings promise a delightful escape for those seeking a blend of history and coastal charm.

Tucked away on a private road in the village that leads to the ancient wood and beach, this charming cottage is a wonderful holiday home for five guests looking for relaxing and a quiet getaway. Step inside this lovely property and you are welcomed into the farmhouse style kitchen which has all integrated appliances, plenty of cooking equipment to make your self-catering stay as easy as possible and a large wooden dining table with seating for all to enjoy your culinary efforts. In the warmer months, open the French doors that lead onto the garden and enjoy your meals alfresco. Following through to the front of the cottage takes you to the living room, a cosy space with timber beams on the ceilings, original brick fireplace with roaring wood burner and a welcoming ambiance for snuggling on the sofa with a great book or movie. Behind a wooden door is the stairs that takes you up to the bedrooms. There are three available and include a delightful double, a small double, and a sweet little single bedroom too. The landing has a handy desk for remote working and there is a shared family bathroom.

The garden is mature with plants, shrubs and trees and is a quiet sanctuary just perfect for relaxing in the sun with a cup of tea. This south facing oasis has a winding path to a handy parking space as well as a small patio with dining table and chairs.

Reviews

A cosy, comfortable cottage in a beautiful location.

Mr V,

This is a lovely cottage with loads of footpaths and bridleways right on the doorstep. Its a short walk or drive into Dunwich itself if you want to visit the pub, take a torch if you want to walk back at night. Nice sun trap of a rear dog proof garden Nice big fridge freezer which was great as there are no shops nearby but we found we could get a delivery from Sainsburys rather than take all our supplies with us, you may want to leave the driver a phone number to help them find you. We were lucky enough to meet the owners who are great. I can whole heartedly recommend this cottage and will be back to visit it again in the Autumn.

Mr H,

Lovely cozy cottage with good heat output fan storage heaters and a log burner for the colder months. Great to have a hard floor kitchen and utility room for muddy days and returning with dogs. The Ship Inn within 10mins walk and the beach is a little further on the same road or path also the nearby holiday park has a pub with carvery for Sunday roasts. Both pubs allow dogs. Perfect location for waling or cycling and plenty of footpaths, woodlands locally. Internet Wifi TV with usual apps and fast broadband in the cottage.

Mr J,

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage and wonderful, quiet, picturesque location. With all the local walks we barely got into the car. Children loved it too. Thank you!

Ms H,

A comfortable house set on a quiet lane. Books, games and jigsaw puzzles also come with the house, perfect for a rainy day. Kitchen equipment had everything we needed. It's a short walk to the local pub and the beach, and if you do this at dusk there are torches provided to help light your way. We loved sitting out in the garden - either to enjoy the afternoon sunshine or at night to look up at the stars and listen to the owls. There was so much to do in the area that we plan to return again and stay here. I have already recommended it to family and friends.

Dr W,

This was the perfect holiday cottage. We had a very short time here but enjoyed every second. The property is absolutely wonderful and the thoughtful welcome gifts were a delightful surprise. I cannot recommend this property highly enough. Thank you

Mrs W,

Stairs should have been mentioned in the description of the property as being unsuitable for the elderly and infirm and small children

Mr T,

A cosy comfortable cottage with a well-equipped kitchen and a beautiful garden. The location is perfect with beach, woodland walks and lovely pub nearby.

Mr P,

We had a lovely stay here in this very clean little cottage in Dunwich. The decor throughout has been very thoughtfully selected. The stairs are a little tricky/wonky for any mobility issues particularly with the only toilet upstairs. We found the storage heaters difficult to use as they gave out very little heat. You can buy good firewood at the farm shop & cafe a couple of miles away. The welcome tray of home laid eggs was much appreciated. The little garden/courtyard is well designed and a delight to use in good weather from the kitchen patio doors. The location is great with several walks from the property and the fabulous birdwatching area, Minsmere, just around the corner. There are many places to visit nearby including walks at Thorpeness and Orford & of course Southwold, Walberswick & Aldeburgh.

Mrs P,

Lovely cottage, fantastic location. Easy walk to the beach and pub. Cannot rate The Ship Inn highly enough for both friendliness and service - above and beyond. Bring your own oil, toilet rolls and washing up liquid to save on a supermarket trip!

Mrs F,

A very enjoyable & relaxing stay in lovely cottage which was very comfortable & nicely decorated throughout. The cottage was lovely & clean and had everything you needed for a very enjoyable stay.

Mr K,

Delightful decoration Unrivalled location Near beautiful beaches Wonderful walks Idyllic garden Catch ferry to Walberswick Harbour for crabbing Historic castles Interesting visits Delis galore Excellent eateries A pint of Adnams Wonderful fish and chips A comfortable bed Your happy place

Miss L,

We had a lovely short break here. The location is perfect with a 10/15 mins walk to the beautiful beach at Dunwich complete with cafe (and mobile sauna!). The cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable. The owner provided us with a very thoughtful welcome pack of goodies. And thank you for the torches which helped a late night walk back through the woods from an evening at The Ship. Definitely hope to return.

Mrs B,
