Coachman's Cottage is a lovely two-bedroom holiday home situated in the village of Wrentham with easy access to Southwold, taking just 10 minutes by car to this popular seaside town, with a sandy beach, pier, lighthouse and a great variety of shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. The cottage is perfectly located for exploring one of Suffolk's most beautiful, wild beaches, Covehithe as it's only a 30-minute walk and is well worth a visit if you're looking for a peaceful, sandy spot.

The space

With such a short distance to the Suffolk Heritage Coast, Coachman's Cottage is ideal for groups of 4 adults looking for a relaxing break, filled with walks up and down the beaches and trips to visit popular attractions such as Minsmere Nature Reserve and Sutton Hoo.

The cottage has been beautifully furnished with a cosy living room at the front benefitting from a fantastic wood burner, two comfortable sofas and a TV with an Amazon Firestick, making it an ideal space for a night in watching a movie, reading a book or playing a board game. There is a dining room with a table and chairs for 4 people, perfect for socialising and enjoying a meal together, that leads into the well-equipped kitchen with a back door out into the garden. The family bathroom is positioned beyond the kitchen with a shower bath, wash basin and WC.

Upstairs there are two lovely bedrooms, one at the front of the property which is particularly spacious and benefits from a standard double bed, bedside tables, a dressing table and a storage cupboard. Across the landing is the second bedroom, which has a standard double bed, bedside tables and a chest of drawers.
Please note, the property has a very steep staircase leading up to the two bedrooms, which may not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility.

Outside there is a rear patio with a garden table and chairs where you can enjoy an evening drink and meal during the summer months.

Lovely little cottage. Everything fine, beds, hot water, equipment, heating etc. Dishwasher not very efficient (first world problem!). Went to Chapel Road Cafe over the road for brunch, very nice food. Caught the bus to Southwold very convenient. Covehithe very nice. Parking onsite for small car but other parking options nearby.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was beautifully clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect and the host was welcoming and easy to communicate with. We’d happily return and recommend to others. A great spot for our winter get away!

Ideal for the length of our stay. A welcome pack would have been nice, also the tiny, tiny bottle of washing up liquid that was left for guests felt a little mean.

Such a lovely stay to celebrate my friend's birthday. Very cute little stay and very close to Southwold and other beautiful seaside locations. Felt very homely and would recommend.

This was exactly what I expected, a little English cottage. The walk to the beach was lovely (except for a bit of pig farming where there were a few flies about, and you see the free range pigs). It was nice and cool when I stayed at night, so the cottage cooled of quickly when I came in. It was an easy bus ride there from the train station (Lowestoft) on the 99 and an easy bus ride to Southwold. The front room is right on the road so there is a bit of traffic noise during the day but it quiets down at night. I suggest walking to Benacre Broad (north) from Covehithe beach. If you like walking you can walk home from Southwold using the sideroads (zig zagging) between the B1127 and the A12. It takes about 2.5 hours but is pretty and if you come out on South Cove Road and the B1127 there is a grassy shoulder (luckily just cut when I was there) that gets you to the sidewalk in Wrentham. The busses can be off schedule so be prepared.

A good little cottage. Compact but completely adequate for our visit. Clean and tidy. Clear instructions and good value. Would recommend.
