This cottage is a birdwatcher's paradise. More than 50 species identified, mostly by sight and some by sound and even Cetti's warbler visible in the garden on occasion. There's no need to travel to watch wildlife, just sit back, relax, and focus your scope!

We loved the location of the School House. It was close to the coast with many walks direct from the door and plenty of lovely Suffolk towns within 20 miles drive. The house itself was clean and comfortable with amazing views from the rear over a nature reserve. We had an absolutely amazing holiday here.

The School House in Dunwich looked exactly as it does in the pictures on the website. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the laundry facilities were great. For our group of 5 adults, having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms worked really well. It was exceptional value for money. Dunwich is located in an area of the Suffolk coast which is convenieRead morent for visiting our relatives, so the location also worked well for us. It was an easy walk to the beach, although the weather was not ideal for that. The location is also great for walking and bird-watching, and there are a lot of nearby seaside towns to visit within an hours drive. The tea room at the end of the street was really nice, and we had a great Sunday lunch at the Ship Inn, where they were able to accommodate our family gathering in a private room. Overall, we highly recommend the School House. Hide
