The cottage is situated near Buss Creek, just outside Southwold enabling you to benefit from off street parking and safe, dry, locked storage for your bicycles.

Cyclists who have stayed here have enjoyed the comfortable facilities offered by Chestnutt Cottage, such as washing machine, washing line, drying rack, conservatory, constant hot water for baths or showering, central heating for a chilly evening etc.

Here are some photographs sent to us by Liz and Andy Bebington, keen cyclists, who stayed at Chestnutt Cottage. They recommend you invest in a good map to ensure you make the most of the bridleway network.

The picture at the very top of the page shows a Dutch cyclist setting out on a 3 weeks cycle journey that would take him first to Canada then south through the USA. His training for this trip included long rides around roads and bridle ways of the beautiful Suffolk country side - which, by the way, is not all flat. He would describe the terrain as 'gently undulating'. He personally designed and hand built built this specialist bicycle with his exciting venture in mind.
