Barrels are supplied and all are welcome to join in! The local Emmerdale Farm Shop and Butchery as well as a tea shop is approximately a mile away. The area is a haven for nature lovers with Westleton Heath National Nature Reserve, Dunwich Forest, Dunwich Beach with its famous fish and chip shop located on the beach, and the rspb Minsmere, all close by.

It made for a lovely short break in a beautiful part of the country. We enjoyed exploring the village and local area and Satis cottage made a great base. The dogs particularly enjoyed it and thank the owners for the treats and making them feel so welcome too. Thanks too for our welcome wine - much appreciated.

- Directions weren't great and we couldnt find it! - suggest you say its next to the garage! - After a very long journey We couldnt get it and eventually discovered the front door had been bolted from the inside! - We tried to call the contact number provided as we couldnt get in and nobody answered and we couldnt leave a message - We eventually got in through the garage thankfully! - The key safe is difficult to access above a plastic storage shed and wasnt locked

Very clean except for the carpets and sofa which let the cottage down. The backyard was very disappointing. Overgrown shrubs made it feel dark and damp. The weather was sunny but no sun reaches the backyard in mid September except for one corner at midday. We couldn't sit there though because there's a large plastic storage box in the way. This should be on the other side of the yard. We won't book this cottage again because of the backyard.
