About Us

The Gamekeepers Cottage02
This Rental is operated byNicholas

The cottage was my home as a teenager until about 1960 so we keep it more like a home and like to share that with our guests. Over the years we have worked hard to give you modern facilities which were not there for us! We love roaming in the woodland and visiting Beccles, Southwold , Halesworth and Minsmere. Contact us at any time 24/7 for advice and information.
