Formally a chapel and packed with original features, this beautifully appointed property has everything needed for the perfect stay. This is a grown-up property, somewhere for couples to meet up or for small families who are looking for a gorgeous getaway in which to relax and unwind.
With two bedrooms, both with kingsize beds, the master-suite also boasts a dressing room.

The addition of a wood burning stove in the open-plan living space and a sunny, enclosed courtyard at the rear, make this the perfect break whatever season you choose to come and enjoy it.
The pretty Suffolk village of Wenshaston itself is very picturesque and is the home of the 16th century Doom Panel painting, considered to be a very rare work of art. But the real draw of this location is its proximity to the beautiful beaches of Dunwich, Southwold, Walberswick and Aldeburgh, all celebrated for their natural beauty and quaint seaside vibes. Southwold is of course home to its famous pier and is packed full of artisan and boutique cafés, inns, bistros, restaurants and shops. It really is a charming town and along with that much celebrated wide, sandy beach it is also home to a really special little cinema, the Electric Picture Palace. Make time to visit Aldeburgh too and explore the picturesque town and the historic Martello Tower. And undertake a blustery beach walk or a spot of sunbathing on Dunwich beach, a truly breathtaking spot. In fact, there is so much to do, you will struggle to fit it all in, which is a great excuse to head back to the Church Rooms and fall in love with it all over again!

Great cottage. Everything wonderful but the location was disappointing with nothing in the village to do. Great for visiting the surrounding areas (Southwold, Dunwich, Halesworth etc)The cottage itself is fantastic-everything that you need and very comfortable beds.

A great place to stay The building has been tastefully renovated to a modern standard in keeping with the original character. It has an EV charger which is very useful as nearest charging points are a bit of a drive away. Plenty of good walking if that’s your thing and good for the dog walks. The garden is very dog friendly and easy to keep clean. It’s such a nice place my wife said we should buy it! 10/10 the best dog friendly place we have holidayed in so far we would definitely return if we come to Suffolk again.
