Overview
Property code: OC-BRICOT

This unique property is located in the off-the-beaten-track village of Eastbridge, just half a mile from RSPB Minsmere - the flagship coastal nature reserve. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, this location is a haven for nature enthusiasts and lovers of the great outdoors who want to soak up the best of the coast and countryside in Suffolk. The village is home to a delightful inn that serves great food. A little further afield, the fascinating town of Aldeburgh (6 miles), with its long stretch of pebble beach, unique architecture, art galleries and an independent high street offers plenty of activities. Closer to home is the charming market town of Saxmundham with a wealth of things to do.

This spectacular home is the ultimate holiday accommodation for a group of eight guests. Entering the property, the timber-framed, open-plan living space has a real wow factor. Its fabulous, vaulted ceiling with skylights creates a real sense of space in this extremely stylish home. Featuring a living area with gorgeously comfortable sofas around a wood burner and a separate industrial-style dining table, the group will be able to spend hours socialising in this space. There’s also a unique and well-fitted kitchen if you fancy cooking and eating in. For a cosier space, there’s also a snug with games and books as well as a functional utility that houses the washing machine and tumble dryer. Two lovely bedrooms can also be found on this floor – both tastefully decorated super-king-size rooms (one that can be arranged as a twin if requested) as well as a shower room. The first floor features two more stylishly furnished bedrooms, one king size room with en-suite shower and one pretty twin. There is also a further shower room so hopefully no need for queues in the morning.

A generous, enclosed garden with a large lawn is ideal for children to burn off some energy and there’s also a patio area with garden furniture and a BBQ that offers al fresco cooking and dining opportunities. For added entertainment, garden games are also provided.

We had a lovely few days here. The cottage is lovely with plenty of room and location was perfect for Southwold, Aldeburgh and RSPB Minsmere. We were three couples and two friends so twin bedroom was important. Plenty of fridge and freezer space and pub across the road was very good. Would definitely stay here again.
