About Bridge Farm Cottage

Bridge Farm Cottage is a semi-detached cottage nestling among wildflower meadows and beside a quiet country lane. This spacious, but cosy, holiday home has a woodburner and enclosed garden, with views towards Dunwich village. With classic farmhouse interiors and countryside all around, Bridge Farm Cottage is the perfect country getaway. 

The road behind the cottage gently meanders up into pine forests and heathlands with numerous way-marked trails. Stop in the village pub before heading on to soak up some sea air at the sweeping Dunwich beach. 

Further afield, discover the pretty seaside town of Southwold just a short drive away from the cottage. The town is home to numerous independent shops and restaurants as well as the famous Adnam’s Brewery and the lighthouse.
