Carisbrooke

A truly wonderful semi-detached cottage in the centre of the coastal suburb of Pakefield, not far from Lowestoft, Carisbrooke has been lovingly refurbished by its owners to provide high quality accommodation for guests to enjoy. Ideally located for families, friends and couples, you can reach the sea and sand dunes in just 10 minutes on foot; so perfect if you long for a 'car-free' holiday. 

Every effort has been made to put the holidaymaker first in this charming property. From the carefully selected Farrow and Ball paints, to the Canadian Hot Tub and Pizza Oven in the rear garden - you can rest assured that a stay here will be of the highest indulgence! In the cooler months, look forward to time spent in the sitting room; with comfortable seating, surround sound system and log burning stove; you can enjoy watching your favourite programmes on the 40 inch Smart TV. 

Carisbrooke is attached to the owners house but it has its own private entrance and garden area which are fully enclosed. The owner is a keen beekeeper for Adnams and is happy to show anyone with an interest his collection of beehives as well as arrange a taster course if of interest! For a special treat, a private chef, the owner, is also happy to visit the property to cook up a storm on your private pizza oven; simply register interest at time of booking and the cost is £60 to include four pizzas. (Please note this is only available for use by the owner). Pub: 500 yards, Shop: 0.5 miles.

Pakefield lies on the edge of the coastal town of Lowestoft. Lowestoft, situated at the most easterly point in the British Isles, was developed in the mid 1800's into a fashionable Victorian seaside resort by Sir Morton Peto, the entrepreneur and civil engineer who built Nelson's Column and the Houses of Parliament. The town has two piers located on the south beach. The southerly pier, called Claremont Pier, originally served as a port of call for steamers traveling to and from London. It now provides a music venue, amusement arcade, roller-disco, fish and chip cafe and a separate, contemporary fresh fish and seafood restaurant and bar. There are many places of interest in the area including Pleasurewood Hills theme park to the north of the town, the East Anglia Transport Museum, Africa Alive, Oulton Broad, Belle Vue Park and Nicholas Everett Park with its pet corner. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has a residency at the Marina Theatre in town and the Seagull Theatre is just a short walk away from the property. There are three blue flag beaches, several good pubs and restaurants, ten-pin bowling, indoor swimming-pool and sports complex, riding school, cinema, theatre and an annual festival.  The Norfolk broads and the pretty towns of Beccles and Southwold are less than 30 minutes away by car, as is the excitement of Great Yarmouth's pleasure beach and unique Hippodrome circus
