    Stonechat is a first floor apartment at the Coastguard Cottages on Dunwich Heath. The apartment benefits from stunning views over the cliffs and beyond to the North Sea. The cosy holiday home offers the perfect getaway for two, with a beautifully restored open plan living, dining and sleeping area. 

    If you’re a keen birdwatcher you’ll be spoilt for choice with nightjars, woodlarks and warblers, just some of the rare species common in the area. Make the most of Stonechat’s countryside location and explore the heather strewn heath on foot. 

    Further afield, explore the pretty seaside town of Southwold, just a short drive away from the holiday home. The town boasts numerous independent shops and restaurants as well as the famous Adnam’s Brewery and the lighthouse.

    There are three holiday apartments in these former coastguard cottages, which can be booked together for a group stay: Nightjar (sleeps two) is on the ground floor, and Stonechat (sleeps two) and Woodlark (sleeps four) are on the first floor. Another cottage, Bridge Farm Cottage (sleeps four), is just a 10-minute drive away near Dunwich village.
