Mettingham · 整套民居 · 3室5床1.5卫 · 可住6人 · Pink Post Office Cottage. Waveney Valley
Our welcoming semi detatched Suffolk pink cottage is nestled on the edge of a large oak lined field. Downstairs: a large kitchen, lounge/diner and WC. Upstairs: 2 king size bedrooms and 1 small twin room. Shower room and WC. Note: the bedrooms are up an open plan staircase with split level landing. There is off road parking for two guest vehicles as well as lay-by space outside the property. We are nestled in Mettingham between the quaint market towns of Bungay and Beccles and only a short drive to the Norfolk and Suffolk coast. Mettingham is a convenient location for a holiday in the beautiful Waveney Valley with its gorgeous walks and super canoeing, paddleboarding and nearby Suffolk and Norfolk beaches. There are a wealth of local restaurants, micro breweries (as well as Southwold's Adnams brewery and distillery) and vineyards to explore as well as the Flixton Aviation Museum, great country pubs and pretty artisan shops.
Jean and Klaus were lovely hosts that gave us a great intro to the local area. They are very welcoming and helpful. The house is very comfortable, the beds particularly. The main road outside the front bedroom does get a bit of road noise if it’s busy.
As a family of four including two girls aged 4 and 8 the accommodation was perfect. lovely setting, very comfortable and lots of sleeping options to please everyone. Jean always replied to any messages/queries quickly and helpfully. Jean and Klaus were lovely in person and very helpful with any needs. Monty their dog was lovely with the kids too which made the kids holidays even more special. Beautiful area and perfect for sights in Norfolk and Northern Suffolk. Highly recommend and would love to come back in the future.
Great break away. Local to 2 lovely towns. Place was lovely. Beds comfy too. Jean was always available, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
We had a fantastic stay in the pink cottage. Jean and Klaus were both really helpful and welcoming and their communication was brilliant. The house was clean and comfortable with a lovely family living and dining area. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything in we needed. It was so child friendly with a stair gate at the top of the stairs, a baby bath and Jean even set up the large and comfortable travel cot ready for my baby. My little girl also loved the fairy door in courtyard garden. Although it is really child friendly the house doesn't feel 'childish' and would be equally suitable for an all adult group. The house is on quite a busy road but when we were in the house we didn't notice it and it meant it was an easy drive ( and less than 30 mins) to all the places we wanted to visit including the coast. There's an amazing coffee shop 2 mins drive away and good takeaway food in Bungay less than 5 mins. I would happily stay again and would recommend to others. Thank you!
Staying at the Pink Post Office Cottage allows you to enjoy the spacious panoramic views of the countryside, with a whole range of activities and places to explore close at hand.
The market town of Bungay is a short 3 mile walk, cycle or car ride away. Mettingham church and castle are walking distance from the accommodation.

Walking / Rambling
The Angles Way passes within a couple of minutes walk of our house and is a local attraction for ramblers and walkers:
"Angles Way was devised by the RA, and together with the Peddars Way, Norfolk Coast Path and Weavers' Way, forms the 227-mile Around Norfolk Walk.
"At Bungay, there is a link into the waymarked Bigod Way (10 miles) which is a circular route around the town, the site of Bigod's Castle."
Yoga
David Harvey Yoga based a 3 minute drive from the Cottage can provide personal and bespoke sessions for all levels.
Swimming
