About this property
Situated in a quiet and pretty village in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, this property is a great base to explore from. Dennington itself boasts a fantastic pub just a stone’s throw from the cottage, as well as a lovely tearoom on the village green opposite the church. The historic market town of Framlingham is just 2.8 miles away where you can visit the famous castle, pick up some essentials and wander the independent shops. Helmingham Hall is nearby (9.8 miles) and is a lovely place to visit with its magnificent hall, gardens, and events throughout the year. The heritage coastline is within easy reach too, with the hidden seaside gem of Dunwich only 14 miles away. Pack up a picnic and while away the day on the pebble beach during your stay, before heading into the popular town of Southwold for a fish and chip supper.
This charming cottage, at the centre of the village, is a great holiday home for a couple or family of four looking for a countryside getaway in Suffolk. Deceptively spacious, the property has a generous reception room with comfy sofas, a Smart TV, and a roaring wood burner for cosying up to in the chillier months. The farmhouse-style kitchen is equipped with all the essentials for your self-catering stay and with ample storage in the pantry too. The character is continued in the separate dining room, with an electric wood burner effect fire and a large wooden dining table, it is a lovely spot for enjoying meals throughout the day, but especially in the evenings for romantic suppers. Upstairs is equally spacious with two bedrooms, one king-size with built-in wardrobes and views of the church, and a further twin bedroom, both sharing the family bathroom.
The outside space offers a private enclosed courtyard garden to the rear with a dining table and chairs, charcoal BBQ, and a secure shed for storing bicycles. The front garden captures the evening sun and overlooks the Grade I Listed church opposite.

Black Tiles was a very comfy warm cottage. Well equipped with plenty of cutlery and crockery. The beds were very comfy. The location was in a pretty village. The Dennington Queen pub was on the doorstep, serving delicious food. Remember to book though as it gets very busy. It was in a perfect location for visiting the coastline of Suffolk. Southwold, Aldeburgh, Dunwich, Minsmere and plenty more places all worth a visit and too far away. Framlingham was the nearest town where there was a Co-op store and a market. Framlingham Castle was also worth a visit.

Comfortable and warm, but the usual holiday cottage welcome pack (e.g. small vase of flowers, pint of milk, small packet of biscuits) was absent. We felt doubly unwelcomed when we found there was no toilet paper provided - we had to beg a roll from the nearby pub. No washing up liquid, no surface-wiping cloth or kitchen roll, no salt or pepper. The CD player advertised is defunct.

Lovely location next to a great pub and cafe. Perfect to walk the dog from your door into the countryside. Cosy cottage, comfy beds and sofas. Perfect location to visit the Suffolk coast.
