Property code: OC-HSGRAN

A gorgeous cottage on the outskirts of the village of Sotterley is ideal for couples, families or friends looking for rural tranquillity within easy reach of the iconic seaside town of Southwold. Located in the quiet and relaxing countryside, walkers and cyclists will enjoy having paths and bridleways to explore from the doorstep.

This splendid two-storey property has been thoughtfully designed to showcase character features such as whitewashed exposed beams and seamlessly blend them with contemporary home comforts. The front door opens into the tiled hall with carpeted stairs to the first floor. Downstairs is the sitting room stylishly furnished with rugs and a wood burner to create a cosy atmosphere. You can relax on the plush leather sofas and catch up on your favourite films on the Smart TV. The large picture window overlooking the garden ensures plenty of natural light floods the room. The kitchen has hand-built units, and everything required to cook up a storm with access to the terrace through the French doors. There is a bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs there are two bedrooms - a king-size with a TV and a four-poster king-size with a TV and en-suite shower room. Outside you’ll find a terrace with garden furniture and a BBQ platform adjacent to the Summer House.

The pretty market town on Beccles (6.5 miles) makes for a lovely day out. Walk around the town and discover an eclectic mix of boutique shops along the narrow streets. Situated on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, take to the water on an organised trip or be adventurous and hire your own boat. Southwold (7 miles) is the place to head for a traditional day at the seaside. Play on the beach, walk along the pier, and visit the lighthouse before enjoying some fresh local fare. Walkers will love a day at Benacre National Nature Reserve (4.5 miles) where you can follow the coast path to the beach at Covehithe.

The country walks from the Granary are plentiful and amazing - the location is peaceful but with close proximity to Covehithe beach - dog-friendly and the best beach in Suffolk. It's the best of both worlds.

We had such a great time at The Granary it was the perfect property for a relaxing break no one overlooking the garden and it was so peaceful, we will definitely be returning and if you enjoy a bath make sure you bring some bubbles and bath salts because the slipper bath is amazing I didnt want to get out of it

The property information and pictures on the website need to be updated. There were no TVs in either bedroom, the kitchen table is now rectangular not round, the kitchen is a different colour, the seating outside on the patio is different, and there are no other chairs/tables in the outhouse to put out on which you could eat at. Also the garden wasRead more not 100% secure or an area fenced off to let a dog out off the lead. So not a true representation. That said, we enjoyed our stay. It is is a lovely tranquil location with a lovely garden area/patio area but still within easy reach by car to Beccles, the coast/beaches to the east and Southwold to the south. It is well presented and roomy. We felt another shower would have been better for the 4 of us, a cot being available, a wardrobe to hang items in the downstairs bedroom, a standard cafetiere/coffee machine (Nesspresso etc) and some electric fans for warmer days would only improve it.

The Granary is a super cottage, tastefully appointed, spacious, characterful and very well located to explore coastal Suffolk. It is in a very quiet and peaceful rural setting with a lovely private garden, terrace and seating area which takes in the sunshine all day. Perfect for couples. We would stay there again.

Wonderfully peaceful location - a real 'get away from it all' treat yet with easy access to Southwold and Beccles. The Granary is a tastefully decorated country retreat set in private countryside, with contemporary comfortable beds made by Loaf and dressed with top quality bedding. We had a really enjoyable, relaxed week even though the weather waRead mores cool and soon fired up the log burner with a plentiful supply of logs on-site. We would certainly recommend - especially suitable for couples - and will return. Hide

This delightful Granary located in gorgeous, quiet country side was our dream holiday. We had wonderful woodland walks staying in peace and quiet whilst only a short drive away are lovely coastal towns and villages. The property is comfortable and cosy, ideal for families and dogs alike.

This was our 2nd visit to the Granary in two months and we've already booked again for next summer. It is an amazing property. It is private, great for dogs with a self contained very large garden. The accomadation is very good and the area to sit outside is perfect on a lovely warm day. Would 100% recommend this rental property for a great holidayRead more with a short drive (about 5-6 miles) to Southwold. Hide

This property is amazing! We've been looking to find a holiday property that we love and want to go back to time and time again, over the years we have never found one. We have now! The level of quality and the location are superb. It is very dog friendly, very spacious (bigger than the photos may suggest), the outside space was brilliant for relaxRead moreing and there was total privacy whilst we were on our mini break away. Location wise it is good for Southwold and the best of Suffolk. We love it so much that we have re-booked again for another mini break in two months! The quality of this property is fantastic and you certainly get a premium holiday at this property. Just love it! The welcome pack was very generous and gratefully received. Hide
