    “Tunns cottage is an idyllic building which was once part of the Tunns Inn PH dating back to before 1841.”

    The building now comprises of three individual dwellings of which number 1 is the holiday let that we booked. The house is beautifully finished with much of the original architecture from the pub remaining. The layout consists of a small entrance lobby which enters into a living area where the grand brick-built fireplace stands complete with log burner and hearth. The living area also has a desk with chair to write all those postcards while you are away or place a laptop if needed. Another nice ...

    The building now comprises of three individual dwellings of which number 1 is the holiday let that we booked. The house is beautifully finished with much of the original architecture from the pub remaining. The layout consists of a small entrance lobby which enters into a living area where the grand brick-built fireplace stands complete with log burner and hearth. The living area also has a desk with chair to write all those postcards while you are away or place a laptop if needed. Another nice touch and well thought about is the LED free standing reading light which was great in the dark evenings. The kitchen is very modern with a small dining table and two chairs. Moving from the living area towards the large conservatory is a fully modernised bathroom on the right with under floor heating and a shower / bath combo, toilet and sink. Worthy of note is the mirror with light and shaving plug. Water flows hot and plentiful for a shower or bath. Opposite the bathroom you will be met by a lovely split stable door which leads you into the conservatory and garden. The garden is quite spacious and perfect for dogs to have a run around. We have two working cocker spaniels and they couldn’t find an escape hole so believe the garden is quite secure. Back into the house and through the living area you will find a small lobby area which provides a fitted cupboard to hang coats etc. The stairs are worthy of note, we loved the quirky nature of these rather steep stairs complete with a rope and handles to help climb them. These could be quite a challenge for persons with disability so you may want to check with the agents prior to booking. My wife and I are in our 50’s and had no trouble with them. Upstairs you will find a double bed in one room and a single bed in the second room. There is an upstairs toilet and sink to save having to make the journey downstairs at night. There has been a lot of attention to detail in this home with very practical additions such as an outside light (operated in the kitchen) for illuminating the drive way and corner of the garden, a full fire side tool set, bucket with firelighters and kindling, coal hod and heat resistant gloves. The conservatory has a sink with water and a washing machine. You will also find some chairs and a small table together with a tray to wash boots or dog paws before coming into the house. Twin light switches enable operation from either the garden door or the house door which is a nice touch. There is internet with a fast rating, off memory I think the download speed was around 50 mb and the upload around 40 mb. More than ample for streaming and watching apps on the provided TV. There is a drawer unit in the living room with some games (cards etc) and there is a DVD player should this be needed. Tunns cottage is a lovely building which provides an amazing environment to relax, light the fire (we went in January when snow had fallen) and let the world glide by. Location wise Tunns is central to the towns of Lowestoft, Kessingland and Beccles. There are many attractions such as Africa Live and Pettitts Animal Adventure Park within easy reach and many good beach walks along the nearby coast. We had an amazing time and fell in love with Tunns and the surrounding area, the house is quite old and naturally has some quirks of building this age (like the stairs) but it is well presented, clean and tidy with lovely finishing touches to welcome guests. I rarely write reviews unless they are warranted but Tunns cottage is certainly as exception worthy of note. We cannot wait to book again and highly recommend this charming property.

Units sit against two walls, housing an electric oven, four ring ceramic hob with extractor, fridge with three drawer freezer underneath and a slim-line dishwasher. Living Room A warm and rustic room with massive fireplace with wood burner, beams and a serving hatch dating back to the time when the property was a pub (hence the name!) dating from 1750. An L shape sofa is well positioned to warm yourself by the fire with the TV and DVD player beside it and large coffee table in-front and a handsome antique desk with chair, plus a corner cupboard and cabinet with jigsaws and games in for you to enjoy. A couple of stairs take you down to the back hall. Garden/Utility Room A handsome stable door opens into this handy room which has a washing machine and sink – ideal when you come in from a muddy or sandy walk! There’s a door to the garden and a couple of chairs here so you can sit and enjoy the view of the garden and countryside beyond. Bathroom This modern bathroom with an under-floor heated slate tiled floor, has a P shaped bath with both a fixed rain shower head and adjustable hand shower, WC, wash basin, heated towel rail and window giving natural light. A door to the original bread oven is a quirky feature too. First Floor A door opens into a small hall with quirky storage room to the right, originally be the tap room in pub days. Steep carpeted stairs with rail rise to the first-floor landing where both carpeted bedrooms are, as well as the cloakroom. Single Room There's a lovely view of the fields from this cosy bedroom with single bed, bedside drawers and a second chest of drawers. Master Bedroom Enjoy the rural landscape from this room which has a double bed, bedside tables and a dressing table with chair. Cloakroom Convenient for both bedrooms with WC and wash-basin. Outside As you step out of the utility room there’s a patio with outdoor dining furniture and steps down to a stretch of lawn which has a chain link fence making it secure for children and dogs.
