Marina's Cottage, Suffolk

This charming, detached cottage rests just paces from Pakefield Beach to the south of Lowestoft on the Suffolk coastline. Internally, Marina's Cottage has been furnished to an excellent standard, providing an ideal base for families or groups of eight to getaway and enjoy the delights of this seaside location. After a day at the beach, look forward to unwinding in the quaint sitting room, finished with a sofa and armchair in front of the woodburning stove, creating a warm ambiance for when you return. Allow the chef of the group to get acquainted in the kitchen/diner, fitted with a range of appliances sure to inspire some home-cooking, including a large range cooker and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and even a dishwasher and washing machine, so you won’t have to worry about washing up!

There’s plenty to do in this coastal location; just a short walk will bring you to Pakefield Beach, where you can lounge on the soft sands, build sandcastles with the children and enjoy the beautiful sea views, or wander through the gorgeous Kensington Gardens, which features a small Japanese inspired waterway, two bowling greens, a fairy tree for the children to visit, a bowling lake and a café where you can enjoy a fresh cup of coffee and watch the world pass by. The local town of Lowestoft offers a great range of amenities, including a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, handy if you fancy a night away from the kitchen.
