Shrimp Cottage

Says Bryn Frank, publisher of The Good Holiday Cottage Guide, 'Shrimp Cottage is almost close enough to the sea to try angling for fish. It's a pretty, pastel and white coloured ‘bijou’ delight, an absolute classic seaside cottage, complete with seasidey knick knacks and charming pictures. (We love one particular detail in the agency description: "there’s a sea view from the sitting room – even when you’re seated".)'

Sleeps up to 4 ‘plus 1’ in two doubles and a small single – two rooms on the second floor via very steep, narrow stairs.

There's a pub within 50 yards, and all the attractions of this most sought-after and most 'genteel' of all Suffolk's holiday resorts are a pleasant stroll away.
