Guests say
Beachwood Cottage in Lowestoft offers a stunning sea view and is praised for its cleanliness, wildlife, and private setting. Guests enjoy the tranquil location, proximity to nature, and dog-friendly environment. Some concerns over maintenance and misleading information are noted, but the overall experience is highly regarded, with many looking forward to returning.
The property is frequently described as extremely clean and well-kept, with several guests highlighting its superb cleanliness. However, one review mentioned issues with mould and cleanliness of certain items, slightly affecting the overall score.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views, privacy, and proximity to nature and wildlife. The cliff-top setting is seen as an advantage by most, though one review found the description misleading. The presence of a nudist beach nearby was a negative for one guest.
Many guests find the lodge comfortable, with a relaxing atmosphere and enjoyable wildlife watching. However, some guests mentioned uncomfortable beds and pillows, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The lodge is well-equipped according to several reviews, with a hot tub being a highlight. Nonetheless, there are multiple mentions of maintenance issues such as broken outdoor furniture and a need for updates, which impacts the score.
While a welcome pack with Prosecco is mentioned, there are not enough references to thoughtfulness-related amenities or gestures to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

Please note: No children under 12 years old.. Corton lies just north of Lowestoft, the most easterly point of the UK. Beachwood is set amongst a secluded woodland setting and has frontline sea views. It is also considered to be the one with the most private, quiet and secluded settings. The photographs of the interiors speak for themselves. The kitchen is well equipped according to our many extremely satisfied guests to date. Tea coffee and milk is provided so guests don’t arrive late and find they can’t make a hot drink. The huge decking stretches to the cliff edge with views onto the award-winning beach. Stunning sunrises each morning which, should you so wish, can be watched while you relax in the hot tub! At night it lights up via a button. String lights have now been installed which are on a timer, which creates a wonderful evening ambience. The beach is never busy which makes for relaxing walks in both summer and winter and is accessed via a lovely short walk through the woods. It is also a dog friendly beach year-round. There are no shops or plastic swings and slides at Ocean Glade. It is very peaceful, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. There is a pub a 10-minute walk into the centre of the village which serves food, plus a small shop which also sells newspapers and a Chinese takeaway that only takes cash. There is a shopping complex a few minutes’ drive away with plenty of free parking.
Beachwood is ideally located to explore both Suffolk and Norfolk. Visit the Norfolk Broads National Park, with its southern gateway, Oulton Broad, just a short drive away, with good restaurants and a wine bar. Lowestoft is an old-fashioned traditional town offering shopping, beaches, two piers with family entertainment and restaurants. The popular town of Southwold is about a 35-minute drive away. There is so much to do and see in the area and you would be advised to google your preferences for details etc. Far too much to write here!

A gem of a place. The location is fantastic with an amazing view from the lodge itself. Beechwood is private, very well-equipped and extremely clean. The park is lovely, beautifully landscaped and it was lovely to see all the wildlife right on your doorstep. Very dog friendly - my three just sat at the end of the decking staring out to sea. We're already looking at dates for a return visit as we can't wait to return.

What a gorgeous lodge, the view is amazing & the wildlife is fantastic, yes there’s a cliff but that makes it more secure & private plus it definitely stops people wandering off the beach which is only a 10 minute walk away. The nature reserve is lovely as well, we also took advantage of the dog washing station which kept our two labs sand & mud free which is a great bonus.
