The Ferry Cottage - Three Bedroom House, Sleeps 6

This homely seaside retreat, is situated in Felixstowe Ferry, in between Felixstowe Ferry Golf Course and the River Deben. Overlooking the river Deben and Bawdsey Manor, this small fishing village is the ideal base for sailing, walking, cycling, golf, and water sports. A pebble beach lies in front of the house, which can be enjoyed at low tide. Swimming is allowed in designated areas within just a short walk from the property or a few minutes by car further up the coast. Dive into this area’s rich local history by taking the foot ferry, less than half a mile away, to the coastal village of Bawdsey. Visit Bawdsey Manor and the former RAF radar station, now a museum. Felixstowe, located 3 miles away, boasts a 4-mile sandy beach, seafront gardens, and a range of restaurants, cafes, arts and crafts activities, and traditional seaside amusements. Book and film fans will enjoy a trip to The Treasure Chest Bookstore and The Palace Cinema (a small Art Deco style cinema), both situated in the heart of Felixstowe. The archaeological site Sutton Hoo is 18 miles away, and 12th-century Framingham Castle is well worth a visit (25 miles). At the end of a busy day’s adventure along the coast, ascend the external flight of stairs to the front door and be welcomed into the kitchen, which has everything you need to whip up something tasty with your fabulous local produce. Proceed through to the adjoining kitchen/diner to unwind weary walking muscles while you admire breathtaking sea views framed by the stunning bay window. As the cooler evening air settles, fire up the roaring wood burner to keep your toes toasty long into the night. The two king-size bedrooms on the first floor, enjoying the same soothing, neutral colour palette as the rest of this home-away-from-home, offer a haven of tranquillity to retire to, along with wonderful views across the coast and the golf course at your doorstep. You’ll also find a contemporary family shower room on this level. The second floor comprises a spacious en-suite twin bedroom boasting magnificent dual-aspect views. Enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the charming balcony at the front of the property or soak in stunning sea views from the comfort of the quaint bench to the side of the property. Outside, you’ll also find private parking for one car and secure storage in the garage.
