Olive Breeze

You step through the doors of Olive Breeze into a ground-floor open plan space that runs living, dining and kitchen together. Pale walls and direct access to the garden make it feel light; the smart TV and comfortable seating mean you can settle in easily. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly—induction hob, electric oven, dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer and coffee machine—alongside a utility room with washer and dryer. A toilet and shower cubicle complete the ground floor.

Upstairs are two bedrooms: one with a double bed (4ft 6in), the other with two single beds (3ft each). Bed linen and towels are provided, along with Wi-Fi and heating throughout. The real draw is outside. The back garden is enclosed, with sitting furniture and a gas barbecue, but the hot tub for six is what makes it special—private, and included in the stay. The property takes one well-behaved dog at no extra cost. You can park two cars on site. Smoking is not permitted indoors.

Olive Breeze sits near Walton Post Office in the older part of Felixstowe, on the Suffolk coast. It suits couples, small families, or groups of friends who want a base for exploring the area without fuss, though many guests will find reason enough to stay put in the garden.
