What an amazing place, Janet and Brian left out so much information about the cottage and the area.
What an amazing place, Janet and Brian left out so much information about the cottage and the area. It was so spacious and clean. The beds were comfortable and the wood burning fire made it very cosy. My dogs felt very at home and we loved the fact that everywhere we went the dogs could come too. Loved being only half an hour from the coast. Amazing week away.

Dove Cottage is a wonderful holiday cottage with a lovely little garden and terrace, great for sitting out in. The owners couldn’t be more helpful and provided lots of recommendations of things to do and places to visit in the area. Halesworth is a short walk away and there’s a nice mix of shops and cafes. There are lots of very nice country pubs a short drive away and some beautiful beaches and great walks. Both we and our springer spaniel were made to feel very welcome and we would definitely return to Dove Cottage.

Whilst not directly on the coast you can be on a number if different beaches in less than 10miles. Easy walk to at least 3 different pubs that we went to. Dove cottage is light and airy and beds are really comfortable with very good quality bedding. Finished to a high standard throughout. Owners are lovely and leave a lovely little welcome pack which includes some milk, tea and coffee to start you off but the supermarket is only 5mins away by car.
Will be returning for definate.
