A stylish family getaway with a wooden exterior, Mellows offers a fantastic living space perfect for a family looking to explore Suffolk and the nearby coastline. Travel up a gravel path and unpack with ease from the ample off-road parking, before making yourself at home in the fantastic open-plan living area. Settle down with a book in a selection of sofas, warming your feet beside the fire, before making the most of the contemporary kitchen, bursting with amenities and with a U-shaped work surface, as well as a breakfast bar with stools, where guests can cook together and enjoy their masterpiece at the dining table, and with double doors and seas of natural light, this is the perfect social space for all guests to enjoy.

On a warm afternoon, enjoy dining alfresco and making use of the table and chairs outside, where a barbecue awaits the designated chef, and your four-legged companion can recline beside the shrubs.
