fish and chips in Suffolk

Coast and Country Cottages, you decide

Many people who live in our modern cities dream of escaping the rat race to one of the many wonderful Coast and Country Cottages in Suffolk.

Some people even long for the day when they can uproot altogether and relocate or retire and choose between Coast and Country Cottages.

So, whether you’re looking for a short break or a total lifestyle change you’ll find yourself thinking about Coast and Country Cottages and asking yourself which are better. After all, it’s an important decision. Here’s our light-hearted mini guide.

Here’s some of our (not very serious) thoughts on the subject.

Coast and Country Cottages, a battle royal.

Country Cottages: 

Pros:
