About this property
Treat yourself to a relaxing break near the sea on the edge the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in this special cottage that oozes elegance. The pretty garden with shrubs and flowers is perfect for dining alfresco with your family or group of friends – plus Fido will love the outside space. The most impressive room is the open-plan diner/sunroom which has bi-folding doors that open up onto the garden.

Mrs Vincent
Comfortable, well equipped cottage in a beautiful garden with access straight into westleton common. The owners provide many extras including a generous welcome pack and are available to help should the need arise. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

There were 6 adults in out party we found the cottage comfortable and easily accessible, my elderly mum can't walk very far, the little walk down/up the small sloped road was a challenge for her. But everything else was easy to access.
