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.

Coastal Cottages: 

Pros:

– Beautiful seaside.

– Fish and Chips.

– Sea air.

– Amusements.

– Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tide roll away.

Cons:

– Tonnes of tourists.

– Seagulls.

– Sand everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE.

– Rising sea levels.

– Pirates.

– Kraken attacks.

Country Cottages: 

Pros: 

– Beautiful countryside.

– Sweet isolation.

– You can go for a walk in the countryside right out of your front door.

– Nature everywhere.

– Less Kraken attacks.

– Very few people.

Cons:

– Isolation.

– Always have to drive to get to anywhere.

– Getting snowed in.

– Very few people.

– Bear attacks.
