It stands proudly on the Norfolk and Suffolk border, within the Broads National Park - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty teeming with unspoiled countryside and wildlife. Just over a mile away lies the unique market town of Beccles, easily accessible via a scenic footpath alongside the river. Here, visitors can explore independent boutiques, enjoy fine dining, or simply relax in one of the many cafes. The weekly market offers a bounty of local produce for those inclined to cook and dine in.
The Broads National Park beckons exploration, whether by hiring a day boat or joining a guided tour to soak up its splendour. Nearby Norwich offers a bustling cathedral city experience, while Oulton Broad hosts thrilling speed boat races during the season. Suffolk’s Heritage Coastline, with its iconic landmarks and fresh seafood eateries, is within easy reach.

Golfing enthusiasts will find a course a mere 1.5 miles from the property, while local amenities, including pubs, shops, and restaurants, are conveniently located within a few miles.

What a lovely property in a beautiful location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay at Dunburgh Wood. The house was immaculate and set in beautiful surroundings. The house itself had everything you could need and more for a short or longer stay. Plenty of space both inside and outside and very private and peaceful. Local amenities are close by too. A lovely place to rest and recharge your batteries. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
