Outside
A long, private, hedge lined 200 metre driveway leads you through the grounds to the cottage. There are 3.5 acres of gardens for guests to enjoy with over an acre of wildflower meadow. Undulating lawns are surrounded by mature shrubs, flowering plants and trees.
The paved terrace around the cottage has tables and chairs in various places for sun or shade. There is a sheltered barbecue area with al fresco dining furniture and a lovely bench around one of the older trees. Rabbits, squirrels and birds just love this garden. Fields and open countryside surround the garden without another building in sight although the thriving town of Beccles is only minutes away.
