Mount Pleasant Farm is a spacious, modernised 18th Century farmhouse that comfortably sleeps 8 guests.

Sitting in a wonderful rural spot, makes it ideal for walks around the National Trust, Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere, as well as exploring the Suffolk coast and countryside.

The space

Mount Pleasant was a working farm until 25 years ago when National Trust and RSPB bought the land, and the farmhouse was sold to the current owners. It was modernised 25 years ago and refurbished again this year.
It is 400 yards down an unmade track with just 2 other holiday properties nearby. On arrival, you enter a spacious porch from which the house flows smoothly from room to room.

The snug is a light and airy room with glazed doors leading out to the large, private enclosed garden. There is a two-seater sofa and two armchairs, a TV, DVD player and an open fireplace where you can snuggle up in front of in the cooler evenings with a book or watch your favourite film on the DVD player.

This leads into the lounge, where there is another open fire, a SMART TV, a two-seater sofa, two armchairs, dual aspect windows and glazed doors out to the garden make this a bright and airy room.

The dining room is set up with a dining table and 8 chairs, and a large wooden sideboard. Windows look out to the garden.

This leads nicely into the well-equipped kitchen where there is a breakfast bar, free-standing fridge, dishwasher, 4-ring hob and oven, kettle, and toaster. There is a larder in the kitchen where there is a washing machine, microwave, and freezer. Dual aspect windows bring in lots of natural light.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, one with an ensuite and a family bathroom.

Outside is a large fully enclosed south facing garden mainly laid to lawn with trees. This is the perfect space for alfresco dining with family and friends, or simply sipping a chilled G&T and soaking up the sun, watching the kids playing in this safe environment. There is also a composting area, and a shed with cushions for the garden furniture, and bits for the beach.

Outside toilet and hand basin

It is exceptionally peaceful, and the sea can often be heard. This is a “Dark Sky” area, so the night skies are amazing with very little pollution so sit back and look out for those shooting stars and make a wish.
You can step outside onto a network of footpaths and bridleways, or easily explore the area on your bike. There is a secluded "Woof" walk where you can happily let your dog off lead to enjoy the countryside. The area is steeped in history and there is plenty of information in the Dunwich Museum.

Lovely, traditional Farm House set in beautiful surroundings with easy walking routes to nearby Nature reserves, historical land marks and Coastline. Ample living space for up to eight guests with comfortable, clean sleeping quarters and bedding. Everything you could possibly need supplied in the property including lots of local information and recommendations for easy to reach hostelries and dining. There were some areas that could have been cleaner such as the microwave and windows and there were noticeable cobwebs hanging from ceilings and behind furniture but none of this detracted from the enjoyment of our stay. The only other thing of note was the terrible wi-fi connection! The property is very rural so this might be expected but I also live very rural and have an excellent signal strength. I do think that this is something that likely needs to be addressed. We did have a lovely time, slept well and felt generally very comfortable and I would not hesitate in visiting again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house was clean & we appreciated the welcoming treats. The garden was large & fully enclosed, our dogs had a great time. Great location for walks to Dunwich Heath & the NT cafe.

We had a fantastic time at Mount Pleasant Farm. The house was just right for all the family aged from 2 to over 60! The garden was wonderful, the location was great and we loved it that the beach was a 25 minute walk through the National Trust heathland, and we could hear curlews in the evenings. The house was well equipped and very clean and had everything that we needed. Many thanks for a great time - we will definitely plan to come back again.
