Westleton Heath is full of blooming heather in summer, but now in September the heather is nearly out of bloom but it still looks lovely. Lovely spot for dog walking but you must keep them on a lead until August to protect the variety of birds nesting.

October is the most exciting time of year to watch our deer as they engage in fierce mating battles. The three largest species of deer (red, fallow and sika) all rut in the autumn and the red variety is in Westleton.

Rutting activity is most intense soon after dawn, though some activity occurs throughout the day. Deer are interesting to watch because their behaviour changes as the rut progresses.

But remember that male deer are pumped full of testosterone and highly aggressive; in parks, attacks on dogs are not uncommon and sometimes people are also injured. So don’t get too close.

"Amazing experience in London Derby.The kids loved all the activities available.The cottage was well equipped and was very quiet on site Would more than recommend to anyone "

"Two adults stayed. Used both bedrooms. Very hot but able to open windows. Enjoyed the upstairs outside deck when we were there. Useful having washing machine. Plenty of street parking, but tight spaces & don’t rely on parking directly outside. Bathroom tiny but fit for purpose. Easy walk to beach front. Thank you "

"A lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful cottage."

"Pleasantly surprised with the lodge. Had difficulty finding it, but then realised we had to turn left into road after going around the only lodge on the right and count down from there, then drove back out onto main access road to find parking space next to the caravan. Other yhan that my son and grandchildren lived the caravan and hope to stay there again when visiting us in Corton. Kitchen was well provided for and even had tea towels provided. Bedrooms were lovely and both bathrooms were...

"The property was lovely suited our requirements as it had a ground floor bedroom, no need to go upstairs. Had everything we required. Lovely kitchen and bathroom. The only downside was it had not be cleaned properly, worksurfaces still had food debris and both sofas needed a vacuum over, plus they were stained. Would certainly recommend the house."

"A comfortable, cosy cottage in a beautiful, quiet location, handily place for pubs."

"Wonderful, peaceful place, very friendly and accommodating. Will do again definitely"

"A very friendly host. Great location for walking on heath land and the Suffolk coastal path. Within easy reach of Minsmere and Sutton Hoo. Thorpeness is a very interesting fantasy coastal resort developed for the wealthy in the early 20th century. Worth a visit for its architecture alone."

"We rented for 4 nights for the sole purpose of getting away while work was being done in our house, so it was not a planned holiday. The old cow shed was perfect for a couple, everything you could want was there. It was warm comfortable and well equipped. Despite the snow and rain (early March) we explored Suffolk and had a lovely time. Nice pub in the village and another close by on the main A140."

"This is our second visit to the lodge, that says it all! Beautifully clean and comfortable with an amazing sea view. We will definitely be back again."
