What a fabulous home to stay in this is. Well placed for beach, heath, marshes and the pub. Well furnished, comfortable and well equipped. The huge garden is perfect. We absolutely loved it and hope to stay there again (and again).

For anyone looking for a real get-away break, surrounded by lovely countryside but with a beach on the doorstep, this is ideal. The house was warm and inviting with plenty of space for all (and our dogs). The pub nearby is to be recommended too!

We very much enjoyed the location, space and views offered by the Old Coach House and found it well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our time but there were some issues.

The high chair was not clean. One burner on the gas hob did not ignite correctly and gave off a strong smell of gas when used. Hide

This is our fourth of fifth time stay at The Coach House and it was as usual, absolutely lovely, so close to the beach and Dunwich Forest and so plenty of scope for walkers.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Wonderful walks from the door and the beach a stones throw away. Comfortable conservatory in which to watch the visiting wildlife. Interior could benefit from being refreshed in places though. A history of the lovely building would be of interest too. Overall a very pleasant place to stay.

The cottage was very warm and comfortable and in a good location for winter walks. Pity that there was no woodburner or open fire but overall a well equipped cottage. It would be a bit cramped for 8 people but for two couples it was just right

The Coach House, Dunwich, is a superb property. It is very well laid out with two reception areas in addition to the dining room and kitchen. With a 4th bedroom downstairs it is easy to accommodate grandparents on a family holiday. Provision in the property is very generous (it felt as if the owners were sharing their property rather than simplyRead more running a business) and the owners have thought of everything, including for dog owners (which we are not). The location is excellent and the house is full of charm. We would strongly recommend this property and hope to return in due course for a third visit. Hide
