This is a fantastic place to stay. Plenty of room, clean and very comfortable. The garden is very large and totally enclosed, great for dogs (and children I guess).

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

This property is in the perfect location next to the beach and opposite the pub. Good local walks. The private parking is invaluable peak times and the large dog-safe garden a big plus point for the kids to play in too. It works very well for us (kids aged 12-14 and grandparents who can stay in the ground floor room).
