Heath View Cottage is well located to visit the Suffolk coast and is in easy driving distance of towns such as Southwold and Aldeburgh. The cottage is comfy and well equipped. One minor downside is the shower and toilet are both downstairs and all the bedrooms upstairs which could be an issue for some visitors. Overall we had an excellent stay and would consider using the property again.

Spotless & well equipped cottage conveniently located in a good location for Dunwich beach and heath, Minsmere as well as Southwold and Walberswick. Westleton had a village shop/post office/tea room as well as a pub with the community run pub due to open later in the year.
