Lily Cottage, Leiston

Entire home/flat
4 guests
2 bedrooms
2 beds
1 baths
This quaint and cosy holiday home with a large garden has been cleverly well-designed to provide everything you could need for a corporate break if working at nearby Sizewell, a family holiday or a short break within easy reach of the seaside. The open plan ground floor combines a comfy sitting area with a kitchen equipped for guests to cater at home, and bar seating with four stools where you can enjoy meals – whether home-cooked or takeaways (there’s plenty of choice within walking distance!).

The space

GROUND FLOOR
You’re welcomed into the cosy open plan living/kitchen/dining room with a door to the garden at the back. Hard flooring runs throughout with wooden stairs rising to the first-floor landing.

KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM
Cleverly designed to give space to relax in the sitting area with a couple of deep sofas positioned so you can watch the large TV, with a coffee table for your drinks; and the kitchen behind where the countertop and four bar stools give space to eat at home if you prefer. There’s also a folding table and two folding chairs if you’d rather eat at a lower level, more suited to smaller children too. Coats and footwear can be left by the door where you’ll find hooks and a shoe rack.
The kitchen’s very well equipped for a ‘galley’ kitchen with a five shelf fridge and three drawer freezer beneath, an electric oven and four ring gas hob, microwave, kettle and toaster. there's also a washing machine in the shed and a clothes rack for drying.

BATHROOM
This modern bathroom sits at the back of the cottage with both rain and handheld showers over the bath, a WC, wash basin and heated towel rail (towels provided).

FIRST FLOOR
Both bedrooms are off the small landing and wooden floors run throughout the first floor

MAIN BEDROOM
The king size bed takes pride of place in this contemporary styled bedroom with bedside units on either side and space to unpack and settle in with wardrobes giving hanging and shelf space. There’s even a desk and chair for those needing to work from home or use it as a dressing table with mirror provided and a socket conveniently placed for hair drying!

CHILDREN’S BEDROOM
At the back of Lily Cottage, this is a fun filled room for little guests with lots of games and toys to explore, a travel cot for the littlest one and blackout curtain in the hope the children will sleep later in the morning. The bunk beds aren't full size so are only really suitable for children or adults on the smaller size and there’s hanging and shelf space in the wardrobe.

GARDEN
An incredibly big, enclosed garden for a quaint cottage. Primarily gravelled with a patio area close to the house. There are gates giving access to neighbouring properties and you could wheel bikes along the back to store them by the house. There's a garden table and two chairs in the shed.

PARKING
There’s unrestricted parking on Paradise PIace and other streets close by on a first come basis.

Importantly for me, the place was clean and free from any sort of odour. The internet was fine (high 30s Mbps) , telly was decent and the bed was comfortable. It's very pokey though and a bit of an odd layout. It was fine for just me but I wouldn't recommend it for more than 2 people. Walking distance to loads of takeaways, supermarket and two corner shops plus only a 15 mins drive to Minsmere RSPB and 10 mins to Aldbeburgh golf club.

The cottage was clean, modern with nice touches to the decor. The bed was very comfortable. Very quiet. Central to visit surrounding towns. Just a few niggles that stopped it being perfect.
