Sanderlings

Sanderlings works well for couples seeking a coastal break. This first-floor apartment sits a mile from Pakefield beach, with parking on the road outside. The entrance is just two steps up. Everything you need for a short escape is here: a bedroom with a kingsize bed, a shower room with a walk-in enclosure, and a living space that combines original features with contemporary comfort. The electric woodburner gives the living room its focal point, and windows frame views down the coast towards Kessingland.

The kitchen is set up for proper cooking—oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, and a washer-dryer mean you can manage a week as easily as a weekend. There's a coffee machine if mornings matter. Bed linen, towels, wifi and heating are all included. Beach chairs, a windbreak and a picnic blanket are provided, so you can make use of the seafront without extra kit.

Shops, a pub and restaurants are within a mile. A local guide with walking maps and suggestions for nearby attractions arrives before you check in. The property is non-smoking.
