Cottage in Dunwich
Reasons to book
About this cottage rental
Known as ‘Suffolk’s Atlantis’ after 13th-century storms swept away most of its buildings, Dunwich is the epitome of postcard-pretty, its main street lined with picket fences and, behind them, characterful cottages – including this lovely three-bedroomed abode. Step inside and you’re immediately into the living room, where sofas sit before a large inglenook feature fireplace and, to their rear, there’s a dining suite where guests can catch up over good food and drinks. You’ll likely want to eat at the nearby inn – its reputation draws customers from far and wide – but the kitchen here has all the essentials for an effortless self-catering stay. Sharing the ground floor layout is a traditional family bathroom, while typically steep and winding cottage stairs lead to the upper storeys. On the first floor, there’s a spacious king-size bedroom with stunning views across Walberswick Bay to Southwold; off here is a single bedroom with a pretty, low-level window and stair access to a twin bedroom on the second floor. Exposed roof timbers add character to this twin room, but the stairs may deem it unsuitable for very young children. A small cottage garden sets the property back from the road, while at the rear, there’s a fully enclosed garden with patio furniture, a lawned area and secure storage for bikes should you wish to bring them.
Dunwich is mid-way along the Suffolk Heritage Coast and, within 50 metres of your doorstep, the huge National Trust-owned beach, which is set in a break between the cliffs, is where you’ll find small boats pulled up on the sand and a popular tearoom. The surrounding countryside is teeming with wildlife; Dunwich Heath offers a true sense of being at one with nature and in summer, it is a patchwork of pink and purple heather and coconut-scented gorse. Stroll around the village and you’ll discover the remains of a medieval friary. Walk further and you’ll reach Westleton, another pretty village with a dog-friendly inn. For adventures further afield, visit Walberswick (6 miles) and, across the River Blyth, the bustling seaside town of Southwold (8 miles).
