The Cottage

Lodge Cottage is situated on the periphery of the beautiful coastal village of Dunwich. Dunwich was one of the largest sea ports in England in the middle ages, thriving on the wool trade with the continent. Most of the original town is now some distance out to sea after many years of persistent erosion. Various remains of the old town remain such as the Monastery and the Lepers quarters by the church. There is interesting museum that has a wealth of relics from the past and tells the story of the demise of the original town. The centrally heated cottage consists of two bedrooms, one double and one twin, both ensuite, the twin having a separate internal toilet. The beamed living room is spacious and comfortable with a colour TV, radio/CD/tape player. The kitchen contains an electric hob oven, microwave, fridge freezer and washing machine. There is ample off road parking and a sheltered garden patio in an informal garden. There is a public phone 2/3 of a mile away but alternatives are available in emergencies. It is requested that there is no smoking in the bedrooms and the cottage is not suitable for pets or children.
