Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Kessingland

Dunwich is a beautiful seaside village with an interesting history. Beach was good (by North Sea standards but be sure to either have feet like old boots or preferably a pair of swimming shoes. The house is perfect for a family get as ours was with grandparents, maiden aunts, youngish couple and a toddler. Everything you could need and more.

This cottage is just so peaceful in beautiful surroundings. Within a short drive you can be in the Norfolk Broads or any of the local beaches, from Great Yarmouth down to Aldeburgh. For dog owners I would recommend Kessingland. It's just such a lovely stroll and surprisingly not busy. Dogs are welcome on the beach all year round here. Dave is a really friendly chap and I'm sure if we had had any problems at all with the cottage he would have been there to help out, but the cottage was faultless. Just a lovely quiet place, surrounded by fields. If we visit Suffolk again I will definitely see if this cottage is available. It's so relaxing here. What a hidden gem!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said in previous reviews. Marian was a fabulous host and also Michelle, who oversees the running of Old Chapel House. We arrived to find the table in the kitchen all set out for dinner. Great fun was had in the evening playing croquet in the fabulous garden and then games around the kitchen table. Fresh flowers in each of the rooms was a lovely touch. Knowing one of my sons was home for our family wedding at Waxham Barn, Marian had arranged an Australian pineapple cake for us to enjoy, together with locally sourced marmalade and apple juice. It was also helpful to find plenty of items such as tea, coffee, condiments etc. My one request to my family was for a slice of sourdough bread, delivered on the Saturday morning, be left for me after having my hair and makeup done. Sadly, it had all been demolished! The house clearly was a previously well loved family home. We had a fantastic stay and will most definitely be returning.

This was the 2nd time we stayed at Little Tern and we loved it just as much as the first time. Little Tern is a lovely property and perfect for us as just a ten minute walk to the beach. It is a homely property and has everything you need. It’s lovely and clean and plenty of space. Great bathrooms and great bedrooms. We can’t wait to come back again and stay.

This was a lovely and comfortable home for the 3 of us. Best part was the incredible outdoor garden and terrace. We enjoyed the games and books provided too. It was quiet and peaceful. Hannah was very friendly and responsive. Overall a great stay. One word of caution - the road passes very close by the front door, so it’s best to be very careful when exiting (especially for those who normally look left for traffic).

We booked Oak Barn to celebrate our Ruby Wedding Anniversary with all the family. We were blessed with a long weekend of beautiful weather. In fact it was so nice that we ate nearly all our meals al fresco in the garden which was fully enclosed meaning that our two dogs could wander in and out of the house. Rosie thoughtfully messaged us when we arrived to give us pointers on how to keep the house cool. The Barn is spacious and spotlessly clean with quality bed linen, towels and toiletries provided. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious. The layout in the house is perfect for extended or multigenerational families. It’s situated in a quiet country lane but within a few minutes you can be in Wroxham and the coast within half an hour. There was an excellent house manual with lots of suggestions for things to do but the weather was so warm that we tended to stay fairly local. All in all this was one of the best properties we have stayed in.

We had the most amazing stay. The house was perfect in every way. Penny was fantastic and couldn't help us enough. We will definitely be visiting again soon.

This has to be one of the best places we have ever stayed in! The barn is spotless, had everything you need - and wonderful touches such as garden games and board games. The surrounding area is peaceful - with birdsong all day long. We spent a short but fabulous visit enjoying the space, the garden, the views and the hot tub! Just wonderful. Shaun is incredibly helpful and friendly. We will certainly be going back!

We had a lovely break, chalet was fantastic and just as described and expected.

We had a lovely couple of nights here. James was great and responded quickly, the house was clean and felt like home, the beds were really comfy too! It’s a great location, the bar on site served delicious food and lots of places nearby to explore. We will be back!

Chalet is fantastic – highly recommended! The chalet is the perfect size for four people – we were a group of three this time, so it felt especially spacious. The site is peaceful, with friendly and quiet neighbours, which made for a very relaxing stay. The marina is just a two-minute walk away and is absolutely beautiful. There are plenty of beaches within a short drive, and a great selection of restaurants all within easy walking distance. Dennis is a fantastic host – warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. He truly went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

We had such a lovely time. Location was peaceful and the accommodation was perfectly placed for planned activities and so close to the beach. Inside was clean and lovely and warm and Hannah was fantastic at answering any questions very quickly and also making sure we were settled in. Thank you.

If you read the visiters book you will see that this is superb.....could go on and on about how good this is,in every detail...You will have no regrets....thankyou Janice

We booked a few nights away, very well kept and clean chalet. Hosts were very attentive to any messages or questions we had. Made our weekend very enjoyable and we will be booking again

We found Abbie's place was perfect for our weekend away. Its very comfortable, great location for dog walks and the local Chinese delivered, highly recommend Royal China 👌🏾 the kitchen had all we needed, the shower was great and the bed was really comfy. Pakefield Beach is a 10 min drive and is a lovely sandy beach. Abbie was great with communication and we really appreciated the late check out. We will definitely be looking to return.

We had a lovely stay at Helen’s place near Oulton Broad for 3 nights with the kids and the dog. Lovely little attention to detail with dog treats and dog bowls left out, also some treats for the humans. Thanks!

We had a fabulous stay at this lovely bungalow. Corin is a great host and was very accommodating with our requests. We felt at home as soon as we arrived. Great location, very peaceful area. Beds and sofas very comfy and very well equipped kitchen. We hope to return soon.

We loved our stay at this gorgeous cottage in Southwold. Great location, tastefully decorated, cosy with a great kitchen for cooking. Fantastic water pressure in the shower and comfortable beds. Kerry was a great host and communicated really well. We had a really relaxing stay in beautiful Southwold.

We had a lovely stay, perfect little base to explore the surrounding areas. Clean, cosy and with everything you need. Dawn was so lovely and friendly too!

Ross was v helpful and the location was perfect for the beach and zoo. The property worked out great for the dogs too. Cony sofas and decorated to a high standard.

Nikki and Mike have created a wonderful retreat. First impressions were of a peaceful, beautifully decorated tiny cottage, in a quiet location, with lots of birds in the pretty and secluded back garden. Our holiday was started in style with a delicious welcome pack, and there are a bunch of nearby shops and supermarkets to stock up from. There are plenty of walks from the house, and just a short drive each to Southwold and Beccles, for lovely beaches and great river walks and boat hire. Just a little further away is Norwich with lovely shops and restaurants and an amazing cathedral. Lots of guide books and brochures plus maps will give you inspiration for your stay. The accommodation has all you'll need for a stay, everything is thought of, with lovely sheets and pillows and a super comfy bed. The underfloor hearing was terrific. We didn't use the log burner, but when we come back in winter it'll get lit! We felt very welcome, a bit spoiled, and very lucky to have found this gem.

Beautiful chalet just seconds from the beach, ideal for families and dog walks. The sea views from the sofa are stunning. Beth, the host, was fantastic with great communication throughout. Peaceful, relaxing, and everything you need for a perfect coastal escape. Highly recommend!

The Lite House is a very special place for a big group looking for a memorable holiday. We had a wonderful few days with our children, playing on the beach and exploring the Suffolk and Norfolk coast. The Lite House is better than the photos with heaps of space for families to spread out and relax. We loved how many children’s games and toys were in the house to play with.

Lovely few days away. Chalet very clean and well stocked kitchen. Lovely and quiet area very close to the beach.
