In a peaceful, cliff-top location, by the edge of the beach, The Avocet is a charming single level apartment so perfect for a couple looking to escape to the restful Suffolk coastline. Situated at The Warden's Trust, The Avocet is just seconds from the beach via a small pathway; a true beauty all year round and so popular with all ages. A coastal footpath runs along the top of the cliff edge meaning you can take a gentle stroll towards Thorpeness and Aldeburgh should you wish to explore on foot - the views from this high advantage point are breathtaking and really will make you feel 'on-top-of-the-world'. Be sure to stop off at The Dolphin pub halfway for a spot of lunch or perhaps a warming tipple on your way! Keen sea fishers may wish to try their luck in the North Sea, whilst others may wish to sit and paint, read, bird watch or sunbathe.

Avocet is set in a wonderful, peaceful location - you can hear the sea waves from the garden but it feels snug and secure. Extremely clean and very comfortable with good kitchen equipment and space to store things. It's off the beaten track but doesn't feel isolated and very rompt suport when needed. Ideal garden for dog and lots of easy walks from the front door. I loved it!
