Kessingland is a large village situated on the Suffolk coast only 4 miles away from the popular town of Lowestoft and a 15 minute drive from Southwold. Kessingland is both a popular family holiday destination and also an area of the highest historical importance. It has been an area of intense interest to archaeologists as Palaeolithic and Neolithic tools and implements have been found here and the remains of an ancient forest lie buried on the seabed. Offering a stunning unspoilt sandy beach perfect for those sunny summer days or those chilly winter walks to Benacre Nature Reserve. Africa Alive Zoo being a stone's throw away. The town is home to many local shops, a restaurant called The Waterfront, which, as it’s name implies, is right on the beach. There’s also a very friendly pub called The Sailors Home. In addition to a large and welcoming bar, the pub has a restaurant. The village also offers Africa Alive wildlife park. A firm favourite for any family holiday.

Lovely spacious cottage with everything you need for a comfortable and peaceful stay close to the beach. The owners had thought of everything, very well equipped even including beach chairs and the best welcome pack we'd ever got. Comfy bed, great shower, so quiet. Left the bedroom window open so we could hear the sea. The cottage was in a quiet spRead moreot but only five minutes walk from the beach. Parking was easy at nearby (free) car park, with option to park outside when off-loading shopping/luggage. 100% recommend this lovely, clean, dog-friendly, home-from-home. We will be back! Hide
