This is a lovely cottage with loads of footpaths and bridleways right on the doorstep. Its a short walk or drive into Dunwich itself if you want to visit the pub, take a torch if you want to walk back at night. Nice sun trap of a rear dog proof garden Nice big fridge freezer which was great as there are no shops nearby but we found we could get aRead more delivery from Sainsburys rather than take all our supplies with us, you may want to leave the driver a phone number to help them find you. We were lucky enough to meet the owners who are great. I can whole heartedly recommend this cottage and will be back to visit it again in the Autumn. Hide

Lovely cozy cottage with good heat output fan storage heaters and a log burner for the colder months. Great to have a hard floor kitchen and utility room for muddy days and returning with dogs. The Ship Inn within 10mins walk and the beach is a little further on the same road or path also the nearby holiday park has a pub with carvery for Sunday Read moreroasts. Both pubs allow dogs. Perfect location for waling or cycling and plenty of footpaths, woodlands locally. Internet Wifi TV with usual apps and fast broadband in the cottage. Hide

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage and wonderful, quiet, picturesque location. With all the local walks we barely got into the car. Children loved it too. Thank you!

A comfortable house set on a quiet lane. Books, games and jigsaw puzzles also come with the house, perfect for a rainy day. Kitchen equipment had everything we needed. It's a short walk to the local pub and the beach, and if you do this at dusk there are torches provided to help light your way. We loved sitting out in the garden - either to enjoy tRead morehe afternoon sunshine or at night to look up at the stars and listen to the owls. There was so much to do in the area that we plan to return again and stay here. I have already recommended it to family and friends. Hide

We had a lovely stay here in this very clean little cottage in Dunwich. The decor throughout has been very thoughtfully selected. The stairs are a little tricky/wonky for any mobility issues particularly with the only toilet upstairs. We found the storage heaters difficult to use as they gave out very little heat. You can buy good firewood at the fRead morearm shop & cafe a couple of miles away. The welcome tray of home laid eggs was much appreciated. The little garden/courtyard is well designed and a delight to use in good weather from the kitchen patio doors. The location is great with several walks from the property and the fabulous birdwatching area, Minsmere, just around the corner. There are many places to visit nearby including walks at Thorpeness and Orford & of course Southwold, Walberswick & Aldeburgh. Hide

Lovely cottage, fantastic location. Easy walk to the beach and pub. Cannot rate The Ship Inn highly enough for both friendliness and service - above and beyond. Bring your own oil, toilet rolls and washing up liquid to save on a supermarket trip!
