This bespoke couples retreat is nestled at the heart of Beccles, a quintessential market town close to the Norfolk/Suffolk border. Straddling the River Waveney, this destination is steeped in history and has an excellent selection of eateries to tempt your taste buds. Beccles boasts a rolling calendar of events including food, art, literature and beer festivals, plus there is a theatre with a huge array of shows. Explore the waterways on a guided tour, or take to the river in a kayak or canoe and discover the gateway to the Broads in style. The surrounding Suffolk countryside offers adventure, nature spotting and cycle routes leading to the coastline. The nearest beach is just 11 miles away, so you’ll soon be feeling the sand beneath your feet and taking a dip in the sea.

Attached to the owner’s property yet guaranteed privacy, your charming bolthole is exclusive and welcoming having been created by local craftsmen. This personal touch can be seen throughout the property, designed and built with eco materials and carefully finished with sleek interiors. The main living space is open-plan and features cosy seating, a contemporary kitchen and a quirky dining table that’s ideal for two. Return from a day of exploring to enjoy an invigorating shower in the elegant bathroom, cleverly concealed behind sliding doors. After snuggling up in your comfiest attire to watch TV and enjoy your favourite snacks, bedtime is a treat thanks to the crisply-dressed king-size bed in the adjoining bedroom.

We Stayed in a well designed comfortable accommodation for two people with every conceivable thought and requirement given to the apartment.I a quiet setting,but close close to the town of Beccles ,with shops and local amenities and attractions within quick accessibility through close by trunk roads.Is worth pointing outing that we found the peopleRead more of Norfolk and Suffolk friendly ,unassuming and nice.On reflection we are already missing this area of the country,and hope to return to Beccles and hopefully 'The Harnser'.

Alan & Jenny are a lovely friendly couple, they gave us a really warm welcome and were always on hand if needed. The apartment was really nice and a pleasure to have as a base. If ever we wanted to visit the area again we would certainly stay there.

Upon arrival at The Harnser we were overjoyed to find that it was immaculate, with not a speck of dust anywhere. So many times we have been disappointed by the level of hygiene & have even on a few occasions had to clean before we unpacked. The quality in the furnishings, bedding & kitchen utensils is as you would expect to find in your own Read morehome, which was lovely, & quite unexpected. Same as the range of furniture. Even the fridge & cooker looked brand new. The bathroom was well stocked with shower gel, shampoo & most importantly toilet rolls. The only thing in the fridge was a fresh bottle of milk, & a welcome pack on the coffee table In all honesty, we could find no faults whatsoever, & would definitely book again. The owner Alan & Jenny were on hand with advice & recommendations but were never intrusive, which was lovely. Thank you very much for a very relaxing Christmas & for the Christmas tree, which was unexpected, we could not have booked anywhere better. Hide
