Briar Cottage

Briar Cottage is a ground-floor property sleeping four in Leiston, East Suffolk, with direct access to a shared indoor heated swimming pool and 35 acres of landscaped grounds dotted with horses and ponies. The two bedrooms – one double, one twin – each have their own ensuite bathroom. The open-plan living space combines kitchen, dining and sitting areas with a barbecue for outdoor cooking.

Everything is on one level, which suits families wanting ease of movement between rooms. Bed linen and towels come as standard; wi-fi, heating and parking are included. One dog is welcome to stay. The grounds are shared, though your cottage has private decking and garden furniture. The pool operates April to October, with private allocated use available by arrangement; a laundry room with washing machine is also shared. Southwold's seafront is 6 miles away, and RSPB Minsmere, cycle hire, golf and fishing are all within 9 miles.
