'Flint Cottage' is a charming single-storey holiday cottage in the quiet, friendly market town of Saxmundham just 4 miles from Benjamin Britten's concert hall at Snape Maltings and 8 miles from the ever-popular seaside town of Aldeburgh on the Suffolk Heritage Coast.
Inside, the rooms are light and airy with high ceilings and lots of character. The living room has a log-burner, for cosy wood fires on winter evenings, TV/DVD/CD/radio and small library of books, films and card/board-games.
The kitchen is fully equipped with (electric) cooker, fridge-freezer, microwave and a good range of utensils, small appliances, etc., plus plenty of crockery, cutlery and glasses.

Saxmundham is an ideal base for exploring the region and its many and varied attractions. There are plenty of interesting places to visit within approximately a 30 minutes drive (or accessible via the excellent local train/bus network) - including Southwold, Woodbridge, Framlingham, Orford, Walberswick, Dunwich, Halesworth.
There is so much to see and do locally, such as, birdwatching at RSPB Minsmere (approx 5 miles), golf (several excellent courses to choose from - all within approx 10 miles), horse riding (within 5 miles), angling (choose from rivers, shoreline or fishing from the pier/quays), cycling (cycle-hire within 5 miles) and boating (Beccles is on the edge of the Broads, from where you can hire boats for the day).
