The nearby tea rooms offer lovely options for lunch or coffee. Just a 5-minute drive or a 30-minute walk along the seafront takes you to Lowestoft, Britain’s most easterly town. Here, you’ll find a wider range of shops, amusements, museums and family attractions. A short drive in the other direction leads to the picturesque town of Southwold, famous for its pier, lighthouse and Adnams brewery. For nature lovers, Pakefield is a perfect base for exploring the Suffolk Broads, with rspb Minsmere and Carlton Marshes nature reserves both within easy reach. Whether you’re after beach days, country walks or a cosy retreat by the sea, this Pakefield cottage offers it all and more.

A perfect little cottage tucked away from it all and not overlooked. Clean, tidy and comfortable, with everything you need and more! Such a great location with beach, pubs, cafe, takeaways and local shops all within walking distance, we all felt very at home instantly at Garden Cottage 😃

The cottage is lovely & has a nice secluded garden which gets the sun all day. It is 5 mins walk from the beach & there are 6 pubs within walking distance, 3 that have sea views. As well as pub food there is a fish & chip shop & Chinese nearby. There are 2 local shops. The only downside is that you have to walk through the second bedroom to get to the main bedroom which my daughter didn’t like & she said the bed was very creaky. Apart from that the place is fab!
