Description A Scurry of Squirrels: Iken

Part of an address that has been mentioned in historical records dating back to the thirteenth century, this recently converted apartment is a lovely spot from which to enjoy one of England's most beautiful coastal regions. Underneath wooden ceiling beams, the open living room is home to a cosy wood burner and a pristine white corner kitchen. This is, however, a part of the country where you'll want to spend as much time outside as possible and there are plenty of opportunities to do so here. As well as a patio with seating and a barbecue, there's also a private tennis court nearby that guests are free to make the most of. It's also possible to hire a bike from the host and Sudbourne Woods Bike Park only take two minutes of pedalling to reach. For those more comfortable on their feet, Orford Ness National Nature Reserve can be reached in eight minutes in the car.
