About this property

Embrace nature with friends and family in this charming cottage in the quaint village of Dunwich. Enjoy relaxing walks through the surrounding countryside or along the coast, before refuelling in the cosy village pub or sharing a family BBQ in the beautiful garden. The seaside resort of Southwold is 9 miles away and the ancient market town of Framlingham is within 15 miles.

The characterful cottage is warm and inviting, with traditional furniture, rustic decor, and period features. The heart of the home is a spacious, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, where you can rustle up delicious feasts using local ingredients and come together for memorable mealtimes as a group. In the evenings, relax in the cosy lounge, reading in the glow of the open fire or watching a film on the Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is a double bedroom, shower room, and utility room. The three remaining bedrooms are upstairs, one of which has a beautiful en-suite bathroom with a roll-top bath. There’s also a family bathroom and an office area with a desk on the landing. A vast, enclosed garden envelops the property, with a lawn where children can play, a climbing frame, and a patio area with furniture and a BBQ for al fresco dining.

The landscape surrounding Dunwich is a paradise for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts. Enjoy remote hikes across the heath and through the forests at Dunwich Heath National Trust, or head to rspb Minsmere to marvel at the area’s rare seabirds. Dunwich has a charming, shingle beach that’s perfect for peaceful picnics on a summer’s afternoon. A 3-mile coastal walk leads to the idyllic village of Walberswick and from here you can hop on the foot ferry across to the popular resort of Southwold, where you’ll find a myriad of traditional seaside attractions.

      We loved Woodberry Cottage. It is one of those places that makes you smile and feel relaxed in. The garden is beautiful and nicely maintained. The location is wonderful with lovely walks from the door to the Heath, the beach and the village. Lots of muntjac deer, red deer and squirrels. Great for star gazing. It was our first visit to the Suffolk coast and we hope to return and stay in Woodberry Cottage of course!

      Woodberry Cottage is perfectly situated for exploring this part of Suffolk. It is extremely comfortable, spacious, quirky, well equipped, with a wonderful safe garden for dogs (and children!). A variety of walks from the door can be enjoyed, as can the pub in the village a 15 minute walk away. The owners have made this cottage a home from home and it is obviously well loved. The housekeeping was excellent, as was the gardener.

      What a wonderful location in the woods where we saw loads of wildlife. The garden is perfect for green woodpeckers, a grey squirrel, a rabbit and other birds. Everything you need in the cottage and it is very comfortable. We would highly recommend this cottage.
