Itâs a fantastic cottage and has everything you will need for a comfortable stay. The main open plan sitting room and kitchen diner is beautiful and spacious and the fairy lights on the beams make it extra cozy! It is situated in a quiet and peaceful location which is perfect for dog walks and exploring. The scenic beaches of Dunwich and Walberswick are less than thirty minutes away and are dog friendly. The Big Dog Ferry river trips depart from Beccles Lido and is also well worth a visit, we saw Kingfishers and an otter! Thank you very much Chris and Kirsty, we look forward to returning!
