Shared courtyard with covered sitting-out area and outdoor furniture. Off road parking for 1 car. No smoking.. This self-catering accommodation, adjoining the owner’s home, is situated in the historic market town of Beccles, set on the River Waveney, which forms part of the Norfolk/Suffolk border and the southern extent of the Broads. This characterful property has a wealth of original features, including original Elizabethan beams and inglenook fireplace. The beams and fireplace are at least 450 years old, and many are older salvaged timbers. The kitchen has a Victorian tiled floor and the bedroom features a Tudor-style canopied double bed with matching window curtains and original beams. It even has a walk-in wardrobe with hairdryer, iron, and kettle so you can enjoy tea in bed without having to go down to the kitchen in the morning! This is a great place for a romantic break or as a base for exploring the area.
Nearby attractions include day boat hire on the Broads; the medieval city of Norwich with its cathedral, castle and fine shops and restaurants; the seaside town of Southwold on the Suffolk Heritage Coast, with its famous pier, beach huts and Adnams brewery; and bird watching at RSPB Minsmere. A short walk uphill to the town centre, supermarkets, local shops, pubs, a street market on Friday mornings, bus and railway stations, and downhill to the quay and the river for fishing, boating, extensive riverside walks and cycling at Dunwich Heath. Norwich is worth a visit and is within an easy drive or leave the car and hop on the bus from the bus station, which is a short walk away. Beach 8 miles. Shops, pubs and restaurants within 400 yards.

Quaint, very cleverly furnished to suit the age and original purpose of the property, loved its quirkiness. Blessing was the en suite upstairs as you did not have to negotiate the stairs in the night.
Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020

Cosy character cottage, furnished in traditional style, suiting the property.
Cosy character cottage, furnished in traditional style, suiting the property. Spotlessly clean and everything you could need provided, including a welcome gift of tea, coffee and biscuits. Plenty to see and do in Beccles, many restaurants and pubs for wining and dining. Hosts, Sue and Chris, are friendly and helpful and always on hand if needed. They are full of local knowledge and can suggest things to do. An excellent retreat for a relaxing break.

Good base for cycling - there was a covered area for storage of bikes. Central location and handy for restaurants and shops. Easy to walk from cottage to areas in the Broads Park. Although on a busy road, traffic noise was not a problem at nights, though it was cold, so windows were shut!
