Mill Villa: stunning 4 bed retreat 5 mins from Pakefield’s beautiful sandy beach

The stunning Mill Villa is just a short walk from the wide, sandy beach in Pakefield near Lowestoft.

Elegantly furnished and decorated, this charming escape is the ideal getaway for discerning travellers. Mill Villa sleeps eight in super comfortable beds and offers numerous spaces for guests to relax and unwind. This house has a large, beautifully fitted kitchen/dining room, a cosy sitting room, a games room, four large bedrooms and a gorgeous lawned garden where you can soak up the sun all day long.

The area itself is full of beautiful beaches, many of which are award winning, so coast lovers really will be spoilt for choice. Lowestoft offers a bustling atmosphere and a range of places where you can eat, drink and shop. Venturing a little further, you will discover lots to see and do. Close by lies the unspoilt and sought-after resort of Southwold, with its pier and much-photographed beach huts; or for a change of pace, enjoy all the fun of the fair or walk along the Golden Mile at Great Yarmouth, which boasts traditional seaside attractions too numerous to mention.

Families should make time for a trip to Pleasurewood Hills, the only theme park in East Anglia, and those looking for a quieter time will find the Norfolk Broads National Park a great choice, the southern gateway of which lies in Oulton Broad, just a short drive away.

Shoppers should head to the medieval city of Norwich, which was voted one of the top ten shopping locations in the UK. Here you will also find a splendid Norman castle and a host of museums and galleries, all of which make this city a great day out, reached either by car or the nearby railway line.

Add in lots of great walks, cycle routes and wildlife watching opportunities and you will see why this area remains so popular. After a day out exploring and having worked up a great appetite, you will be delighted to find that there are not only lots of great places to eat close to Kirkley Cliff, but lots of delivery options for when you are too tired to cook or venture out. All in all, a perfect location.

Beach 7 min walk. Supermarket, pub and takeaway restaurants 1-2 minutes walk.

Great spot

Been to the area many times on holiday, usually caravans but decided to stay in a house instead. Great location and lovely walk along the coast a 5 min walk away. Lovely dog friendly pubs walking distance. House lovely, with everything you need. Would go back. Host was very accomodating and helpful.

Family birthday weekend

The property was very easy to find, the whole house was well appointed but I was especially impressed with the ‘farmhouse’ kitchen. The games room was a big hit with everyone. The bedrooms were all a great size with comfortable beds. The beach - an easy walk away- was perfect as the nearest bit is dog friendly (year round). Overall, it was an ideal place for our family break away, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had a brilliant New Year break at Mill Villa. Its location is perfect if you love a quick walk to the beach. Food shops are within a few minutes walk, which was perfect for us. Some really good pubs within walking distance too. The house itself was great, really comfy beds, two great reception rooms one with a darts board and pool table, which were great fun. Great size kitchen, which was perfect for a good dance on NYE. One of the shower rooms is downstairs and the shower is quite small, it didn’t bother us in the least.The Welcome Pack from Sarah was very generous and very much appreciated. We loved it.

We used the property as a reunion base for our family. The house is spacious and comfortable and has great facilities. The granchildren loved the games room and outside space. We walked to the beach via the pub in just a few minutes. The children loved the park situated across the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Sarah was quick to respond to my questions ahead of our stay and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this property.
