Overview
Property code: OC-W27520

This chocolate-box cottage is surrounded by the beautiful Suffolk countryside, with endless walking and cycling tracks from your front door. The property sleeps four guests and is the perfect base for couples and small families looking to switch off from the humdrum of everyday life. You’ll be perfectly placed for exploring the Broads, with Beccles just 8.5 miles away, as well as the picturesque Suffolk coastline (13 miles).

The charming 17th-century property has been sympathetically renovated to celebrate its period features, and is decorated in a country-cottage style. The cottage is warm and welcoming, with a dual-sided wood burner between the lounge and dining room, as well as underfloor heating. The characterful lounge is a delightful place to unwind after exploring the local area, either reading a book in the armchair or watching the Smart TV/DVD. Adjacent to the lounge is the dining room, with a large table for enjoying dinner parties and countryside views from the dual-aspect windows. Completing the ground floor is the kitchen, which is decorated in delicate pastel shades and has a cute breakfast bar, and a utility room. The two inviting bedrooms and the family bathroom are upstairs. The garden occupies 0.5 acres and is a real haven of tranquillity, with pretty flowers, a large lawn, and a sunny patio with outdoor furniture.

Head into the historic market town of Bungay, just 5 miles away, to investigate the fantastic array of independent shops, pubs, and restaurants. After a potter around its pretty streets, wander down to the River Waveney for a peaceful waterside stroll. A short 13-mile journey east brings you to the breath-taking Suffolk coast. Enjoy long walks along its dramatic coast path, or spend a fun afternoon at one of the traditional seaside resorts, such as Southwold, which is just 13 miles away or Walberswick, which is also only 13 miles away.

We had a lovely relaxing peaceful stay at Walnut Cottage. The property has been very sensitively restored and was very comfortable. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. Our 2 dogs enjoyed the walks directly from the house, which can also take you to the local pub. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage for a peaceful holiday.

This cottage is delightful and roomy. It has been modernised to a high standard. It is a quiet and peaceful retreat. The owners have thought of everything and left a welcome card, homemade cake and fresh farm eggs. They also left a variety of maps with highlighted walks from the cottage and the handbook contains lots of suggestions of local Read moreattractions, services and places to eat. The garden is beautiful and ideal for dogs. We saw lots of wildlife and enjoyed seeing the farm in action around us. So good we have already booked for next year. Hide

Walnut Cottage is such a lovely cottage and the perfect place to unwind, relax and recharge. On arrival the cottage beckoned us with its warm welcome and we felt immediately relaxed and at home. A very tasty home baked lemon drizzle cake and welcome note was waiting for us along with everything we needed to make a much needed cup of tea and coffeeRead more after our long journey. The cottage is light and spacious whilst retaining the authentic feel of a country cottage. We loved the well equipped kitchen which leads into the entrance area providing plenty of space for coats and boots. This, in turn, leads into a well equipped utility room with downstairs loo. It was lovely to have a spacious dining room with a large table and chairs. The sitting room area is equally spacious and the furniture very comfortable and stylish. The large garden is beautiful and the outdoor seating area is perfect for relaxing and listening to the wonderful birdsong. There is so much attention to detail in the cottage and clear that the needs of the guests have been carefully considered. The downstairs is spacious with plenty of room for dog beds and crates whilst still leaving plenty of room for the humans! Upstairs is equally as comfortable, spacious and beautifully equipped. The location is very rural with some really great walks from the cottage but with plenty of interesting places to visit just a short drive away, including the coast. We found Walnut Cottage to be the perfect place for two and four legged guests and plan to come back for a visit, in fact, we didn't really want to go home we loved it so much! It was also a pleasure to meet the lovely owners, who delivered us some fresh eggs from the farm. Hide

Walnut Cottage really is the most tranquil and idyllic cottage you could stay in. We dont go back to places already stayed at as we like to explore new places to visit, however, for the first time, we will definitely be booking another stay here.

Exploring the garden and cottage, taking time to enjoy the art work and taking in the original aspects was an addition we loved. A perfect stay, what ever your reason - lovely long walks, exploring the local area or simply doing nothing, its a little slice of heaven. We honestly cant wait to return. Hide

The owners clearly take great pride in maintaining the property to the highest standards, and it made our stay all the more comfortable. One of the major highlights of this cottage is its strategic location. We were able to use it as a fantastic base for exploring both Suffolk and Norfolk. Day trips to Norwich, Ipswich, and Lowestoft were easily achievable, and we also enjoyed the shops and restaurants in the smaller surrounding towns. There are many nearby public footpaths. We made a few walks through the scenic countryside, discovering the local wildlife and enjoying the fresh air. All in all, this holiday cottage exceeded our expectations in every way possible. It a well-equipped retreat, perfect for both relaxation and exploration. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable getaway in Suffolk. Hide
