Aldringham 0.7 miles. Boasting a superb rural setting, Ash Tree Cottage is a picture postcard cottage which sits in beautiful gardens and yet is just a few minutes from the coast. Ideal for a family or two couples on holiday together, the property is impeccably presented with the owner adding a truly artistic touch and finish to the accommodation. The spacious sitting room is light and airy and has an attractive woodburning stove creating a welcoming space for guests to gather and enjoy spending time together. Leading off from here, there is a delightful fully fitted kitchen which is stylish but also practical, offering everything needed to rustle up delicious food for the whole party and there is even an elegant dining area all set up ready for enjoying long, lingering meals together.
