8 Bed in Gillingham (oc-w45983)

This beautifully appointed and pet-friendly rural retreat combines generous space and exceptional facilities with an outstanding location for unforgettable group escapes. Sleeping up to 14 guests, it’s the perfect base for multi-generational families and celebratory groups of friends exploring Suffolk and Norfolk’s peaceful countryside and golden coastline together. Enjoy a wealth of countryside walking trails from the doorstep, perhaps starting with the route to the historic town of Beccles (3 miles), where independent shops, riverside paths, and a traditional weekly market await. If you’re exploring by car, continue beyond Beccles and into the Norfolk Broads for days of water sports, riverside food and drinks, and plenty of breathtaking scenery. On the coast, popular spots nearby include Kessingland, Lowestoft, Gorleston-on-Sea, and Great Yarmouth (all within 13.5 miles). Alternatively, enjoy a day in the city as you explore Norwich’s (16.5 miles) historic attractions and marketplaces.


Step inside this exquisite property and find spacious accommodation that combines traditional countryside decor with charming original features and holiday comforts. Here, every room has its own character and appeal, with natural light pouring in through the windows. Explore the ground floor and find a choice of spaces for relaxation and socialising. A sitting room invites cosy evenings spent relaxing in the soft seating as the wood burner casts a warming glow and the Smart TV streams your favourite movies. In the centre of the room, a glass hippo table sets you up perfectly for relaxed evenings of board games and chatter, while a traditional bar area is like a scene from an old country pub and features its own drinks fridge. More fun awaits in the separate games room, where a pool table stands ready for competitive evenings together. When stomachs begin to rumble, the country-style kitchen features everything needed for cooking up group feasts, which can be enjoyed at the long table in the grand dining room or alfresco out in the courtyard garden. At the end of each memorable day away, seven unique bedrooms boast their own character and appeal. Spread across the cottage, the bedrooms include two king-size rooms, two doubles and three cosy twin rooms. For your convenience and privacy, every bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, meaning no queues each morning. For even greater privacy, there is also a completely separate adjoining annexe, featuring a comfortable double bedroom and a private bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a bath.


Step outside as often as possible and make full use of the quiet courtyard garden. Offering plenty of space and outdoor seating, including a fun pergola, this is the perfect spot to gather for morning coffees and evening tipples together. Combined with the outdoor tables and chairs, a gas BBQ invites al fresco meals late into the night. Completing the picture is ample private parking, making group arrivals and day trips easy.
