Overview
Property code: OC-B27635

This delightful former fisherman's cottage is located in Kessingland, a charming Suffolk village with a stunning coastline, making it an ideal location for a coastal escape with family or friends. A short walk from the cottage (0.5 miles) will take you to an unspoilt beach for beautiful walks, and there are lots of places to eat for nights when you don't feel like cooking. Benacre Nature Reserve is located at the southern end of the beach, while animal lovers will enjoy a visit to Africa Alive Zoological Reserve in Kessingland. Lowestoft, 6 miles north, features quaint shops and cafes, a theatre, and a couple of lovely beaches, as well as being on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park for canal boat trips. Southwold, 9 miles south, boasts an iconic pier, lighthouse, and colourful beach huts, and is a great spot to enjoy some fish and chips.

As you enter this charming, character-filled cottage, hang your coats in the porch and proceed to the cosy lounge, which boasts stripped wooden floors, comfy seating and the extra bonus of a wood burner located in a spectacular feature fireplace. After a day of adventure, relax in front of the wood burner and watch TV or read a book. Enjoy your meals or socialise in the dining area, which features an original open fireplace and a dining table with seating for six people. The kitchen is adjacent to this room and is well-equipped with everything you could possibly need to create some wonderful meals. The stunning, light, and elegant bathroom features a Victorian roll-top bath and a separate walk-in shower, and is located towards the back of the cottage on the ground floor. When it's time to wind down, take the steep cottage-style stairs to the first floor where you’ll find the lovely bedrooms. The first is a beautiful king-size bedroom with plenty of storage.

Wonderful homely and cosy cottage. Beautifully decorated and well-equipped. Perfect location for exploring Southwold and that part of the Suffolk coast. We spent a day at Aftica Alive - an unexpected find in the village and great day out! The bedrooms were perfect for us as a family of four.

The cottage was a lovely place to stay. Close to a practically deserted beach and many places fairly close to visit. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. Everything we needed close to hand. Comfy beds and big enough for 4 adults and 2 children. We had a lovely weeks stay

Cosy and very well equipped. Access road potholed and in need of improvement. Might be difficult to turn a larger vehicle as neighbour opposite seems determined to block access to driveway with bins

This is a delightful cottage down a quiet cul-de-sac, just a few minutes walk from the beach and even closer to a great fish and chip shop. We were four adults, using the two double rooms and it was perfect for us, well-equipped and comfortable. If you need to go to the loo in the middle of the night, be aware that it's a steep staircase down to thRead moree bathroom which is downstairs. Kessingland is an ideal base for exploring the Suffolk coast and the Norfolk Broads and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Hide
