Avocet

Avocet is a single-storey apartment built with character—original features sit alongside contemporary comforts, creating a properly finished holiday base rather than a stripped-down rental. The living room centres on an electric stove recessed into an oak-beamed fireplace, with a comfortable sofa and Smart TV. A kingsize bed occupies the bedroom; the shower room has dual basins and a spacious enclosure. Everything on ground level means no stairs to navigate.

The kitchen is equipped for real cooking: oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washer-dryer among the appliances, plus a coffee machine for those who need it. French doors open to a small courtyard garden furnished with seating, sun loungers and a barbecue—a genuine outdoor space rather than token paving. Dogs stay free and are welcome throughout the property, though they'll need to stay off the furniture and out of bedrooms and the bathroom. Wifi, heating, electricity, linen and towels are all included.

The beach at Pakefield lies a mile away; shops, a pub and restaurants are within similar reach. A welcome pack with local maps and eating recommendations arrives before you check in, and printed copies stay in the apartment.
