Ideal location for the beach and lovely walks. Lovely courtyard garden which is quite the suntrap. And lovely views of Dunwich beach from the frost rooms. Be aware of the house and bedroom layout when booking to see if it meets your needs.

What a gorgeous cottage! We were so lucky with the weather too. The beach is just a few minutes walk and you can see the sea and the marshes from the lovely lounge window. The sofas were really comfy and the kitchen well stocked. The courtyard garden had sun most of the day and had masses of seating. Cottage location is hard to beat and the short walk to Greyfriars in the evening was so peaceful. We even saw scarlet tiger moths in the churchyard and it was possible to watch the marsh harrier from the lounge/main bedroom - we didn't though as we spent most of the days outside :) There are three different places to eat in the adorable village and the museum and Ship Inn are both fabulous and just three doors down! Walks everywhere! Gorgeous in every way and mum had the best birthday yet (this one was her 80th!) Hard to beat.
