Gorgeous and huge cottage with cosy home from home feel. The owners are generous in providing everything you need in terms of kitchen equipment, bedding. The art is wonderful. Beds comfy, more than enough sofas and chairs for everyone. Gorgeous views. Short walk to lovely pub and beach. Nicely positioned right on the new King Charles III England Coast Path. Thank you!

Lovely stay at 1 Church Cottages in Dunwich. Our elderly parents were comfortable in a pleasant downstairs double bedroom and bathroom plus their own lounge while we had views over the marshes to Southwold from our bedroom and a large well equipped kitchen diner to relax in. Our dog particularly enjoyed the enclosed gardens and walks along the beach and woods on the cliff. Hope to return soon.

A gorgeous relaxed stay and felt right at home by the fire, with a glass of wine! Great local walks and the pub meant we didn’t have to stray far. We will certainly be back!

Wonderful 3 night stay at 1 Church Cottages. Spacious well equipped house and lovely enclosed front and back gardens. The kitchen is truly the hub of the home and comfortably fitted us all. Very dog friendly, I think the pups had as much fun as the humans. Brilliant access to the beach, marshes and Dunwich heath is nearby. The climbing frame and Octonaut toys were a firm favourite with the children.

Just had our second Christmas at 1CC - fabulous! Spacious cosy and very comfortable. It really feels like a home from home. Large, well equipped kitchen perfect for a big family get together. Four bedrooms with great beds ( plus cot and high chair) wonderful views from some rooms and a great position for walks, wildlife, village pub and museum. We even had dips in the sea and saunas at the beach. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Stayed here for 3 nights with 3 generations of family for a birthday. It's a great place for a large group, with 4 bedrooms, 2 lounges, 3 bathrooms inc en suite and a large family kitchen. Tastefully and practically furnished and kitted out, very clean, excellent comfortable clean beds and warm. It was perfect for our needs.

Wonderful cottage in fantastic position in Dunwich - one of our favourite places. We visited Minsmere RSPB reserve, and Woottens at Wenhaston a plant nursery. And we ate at Dingle Tearooms, The Ship Inn and Flora's for fish & chips on the beach - all eating places within walking distance. We had a great time enjoying just living at the cottage too.
