Kipper Cottage is available to book directly or via Airbnb. Reviews posted on my Airbnb listing have been copied here.

  • Brilliant place to stay. We stayed as 2 adults and 2 children over Christmas. It was perfect, couldn't have asked for any more. Michele has to thought of everything in this place and it felt really homely. Would recommend and will likely stay again in the future.

  • We enjoyed a lovely few days at Kipper Cottage over half term with our two girls aged 7 and 4. Perfect for families with lots to do in the area. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk away and well worth heading to for sunrise. There are lovely pubs, takeaway places and a co-op all within walking distance. The cottage itself was cosy and well equipped with plenty of space. Michele was a wonderful host and always extremely responsive. Can’t recommend the place enough!

  • Kipper Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. Spotlessly clean. Extremely well equipped. Great location, literally 2 minutes to the sea and a great pub which serves lovely food and breakfast. We walked all the way into Lowestoft along the sea path and also went on a river cruise on the broads. I definitely recommend staying at Kipper Cottage. Michele was extremely communicative as host and gave us some great local recommendations.

  • Kipper Cottage is a lovely place, clean and well maintained. We have just had a week's stay and we could not fault this property in any way. A lovely quiet location, so close to Pakefield beach and a 15 mins walk into Lowestoft itself. There are pubs, a fish and chip shop and a co-op within easy walking distance. Michelle is a fabulous host, very helpful and communicative both prior and during our stay. Julie (her caretaker) was amazing and helped out with an issue and got it sorted. Highly recommend and we hope to be back again soon - 5/5.

    — Martyn & Stephanie, 16 Jun 2023

  • We felt at home straight away. Everything was very clean, and Michele had thought of everything that we might need. It was lovely to have the conservatory to sit in as well. We loved the fact that we were only a few minutes walk from the beach and local pubs, take always and shops. We will definitely like to stay again. Thank you.

    — Doreen, 01 Jun 2023

  • Kipper Cottage was homely and welcoming. Very clean with lovely and thoughtful decor. Close to a beach that allowed dogs, and just a few minutes walk to sandy (more child-friendly) beaches, beside the pier with arcades and entertainment etc. Good location to visit the local towns such as Aldeburgh and Southwold. We had our 4 month baby and dog. Michelle offered a high chair, stair gate and travel cot, which was so handy and helpful. Lovely stay - thank you!

    — Alice, 23 May 2023

  • Beautiful cottage well equipped and so clean. Had a wonderful break and would recommend to anyone.

    — Gregory, 01 May 2023

    — Russ, 01 Apr 2023

    — Kelly, 01 Mar 2023

  • So cosy and stylish, Kipper Cottage proved to be perfect for our family break. Fully equiped and spotlessly clean, it lacked for nothing. Thank you Michele, we can definitely recommend Kipper Cottage! 😁

    — Caroline & David, 01 Feb 2023

  • Perfect 5 day break.
    Great communication with Michele
    Easy to find, simple access into warm property, tastefully decorated with lovely touches, loved the wine and biscuits!
    Very close to the beach and The Jolly Sailor pub, well worth a visit..plenty of places to walk and explore.

    — Johanna, 01 Dec 2022

  • Lovely place to stay with a really short walk to the beach. The house was lovely and clean. My elderly father enjoyed sitting in the conservatory looking into the garden.

    — Karen, Airbnb review, 01 Oct 2022


  • Lovely house, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Located in a pleasant , quiet street just a short walk to the beach. Ideally situated for sightseeing both Norfolk and Suffolk. Michelle is an excellent, very helpful host.

    — Betsy, 01 Oct 2022

  • Wonderful stay at a perfect home from home. Everything was provided including a high chair, stair gate and travel cot. Clean, tidy and beautifully decorated with a lovely enclosed garden for our little dog. Few mins walk to the beach, pubs and shops. Plenty to see and do. Hope to return some day.

    — Sarah, Airbnb review, 01 Sep 2022

  • Wonderful, two bedroomed house which matches the description. Secure garden for the dog/small children. Well equipped kitchen if you need it, as there are good pubs for eating out, great chip shop and chinese as well. Excellent beach, yes, two minutes walk, with sand. Lots to do and see with easy driving distance. Definitely a place to come back to.

    — Robert, Airbnb review, 01 Sep 2022

  • A really lovely house in a wonderful location, very close to Pakefield beach and a very nice pub (Jolly Sailors). House was well equipped and beautifully finished. Would definitely recommend.

    — Elaine, Airbnb review, 01 Aug 2022

  • For anyone looking for a coastal break with all the comforts of home, don't hesitate. Extremely well-equipped, nicely decorated and very comfortable. A stone's throw from Pakefield beach (which is mainly pebble), but 15-20 mins walk from South Beach in Lowestoft which is beautiful and sandy. Great location, and the host is very responsive and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

    — Michael, Airbnb review, 01 Aug 2022

  • Well positioned for beech and Lowestoft, nice and clean, everything you need, lovely relaxing house

    — Alasdair, Airbnb review, 01 Jul 2022

  • Super close to the beach. Nice private backyard, great communication, wifi is good, kitchen is more than enough and the room off the kitchen is super cozy. Would stay here again.

    — Stephen, Airbnb review, 01 Jun 2022

  • A comfortable, peaceful and well designed cottage. It is very close to Pakefield beach-five minutes away-and the area is really unspoiled. I loved the birds-swifts were about-and the wild flowers on the sea front. Very peaceful and quiet. Lots of coastal paths and other beaches to walk to.

    — Cathy, Airbnb review, 01 Jun 2022

  • A delightful cottage, fully equipped with everything. 2 mins walk from the dog friendly beach and some lovely pubs and coffee hut.

    — Charlotte, Airbnb review, 01 May 2022

  • A great place, really well put together and very convenient for the beach

    — Peter, Airbnb review, 01 May 2022

  • Great cottage, very clean and has everything you’d need. 2 mins walk to pakefield beach. Lovely gift on arrival - would stay again.

    — Michael, Airbnb review, 01 Apr 2022

  • A fabulous little house in a fabulous location. All of the comforts you need with a young family and a little doggy. Just 3 minutes walk and you’re on the beach, walk a little further to the left for beautiful sandy beaches. Thank you for a lovely stay, we enjoyed every minute. x

    — Manny, Airbnb review, 01 Apr 2022

  • Absolutely stunning cottage in a great location for exploring Suffolk coast.

    — Natalie, Airbnb review, 01 Apr 2022

  • If you only go to one Airbnb it should be this one. Once you have been here you will want to go back. It’s perfect. Tastefully decorated, very comfortable and spotless. Everything you need for a stay away from home. Will definitely be going back.

    — Janet, Airbnb review, 01 Mar 2022

  • Clean, adorable and wonderful. This is an incredible place to stay!!!

    — Lauren, Airbnb review, 01 Mar 2022

  • What a fabulous find for our short break to visit family in Lowestoft. Kipper Cottage was beautifully finished, spotlessly clean and had everything you need for a holiday. Just 2 minutes walk from the beach, we wandered to Lowestoft in the spring sunshine. Communication with Michele, the host, was top notch from the get go and a bottle of wine and biscuits were a really nice touch. We will definitely book Kipper Cottage for our next visit.

    — Jayne, Airbnb review, 01 Mar 2022

  • Besutiful cottage. Very helpful host who provided extras for our grandson.Spotlessly clean with everything you needed for your stay. Perfect location. Will definitely visit again.

    — Neil, Airbnb review, 01 Jan 2022

  • What an absolutely fantastic first Airbnb experience for us! We have family in Pakefield and needed somewhere to stay for the xmas break - Michele's was a brilliant find and we're so pleased with it. Location is great - you're a 5 min walk from the beach, 10 mins from the seafront arcade, and 5 mins drive from an Aldi, Greggs, Subway, McDonald's and 24 hour gym. The house is wonderfully presented - very clean, clean towels, everything neat and tidy, just perfect. And then, so many little thoughtful things that show she's been to several places that perhaps didn't do the same; for example there was detergent and dishwasher tablets for the washing machine and dishwasher, there's a smart TV with Netflix already available, hand soaps, WiFi, coffee, a very well stocked kitchen and even a stair gate (for those of you with pets/children). Having a garden for pets/kids is also super handy; the garden has side access to an alley which takes you to the road, so wet kids/dogs can be taken straight round the back. The information folder provided is also very thorough too. Check in is super easy, and Michele's great at responding to any questions. We all loved it (especially the kids) and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thanks Michele!

    — Rishi, Airbnb review, 01 Dec 2021

  • Wow what a beautiful little house! Tastefully furnished and extremely well equipped. On a quiet road with easy parking and very close to the beach and a local eatery The Jolly Sailor (which was excellent). Other eateries are available. If we are wanting to go to the area again we will definitely be booking Kipper Cottage.

    — Jacky Hall, 26 Nov 2021

  • Super clean and well appointed house. A well equipped kitchen with plenty of crockery and cutlery and a nice dining area. Comfortable seating in the lounge too. Bed was comfortable and the shower has good pressure. Easy on street parking. Three minute walk to the sea with lovely walks on the beach .

    — Julie - Airbnb review, 01 Nov 2021

  • We had a fantastic stay at Kipper Cottage. It’s a fabulous place with a lovely, lovely garden. We couldn’t have asked for more. So close to the beach, in a quiet road, with easy parking right outside. Beautifully furnished and decorated. Spotlessly clean, and very well equipped, also including a washing machine and dishwasher. A true home from home. I want to live there!! We will definitely be returning

    — Caroline - Airbnb, 31 Oct 2021

  • Kipper Cottage satisfied our needs in every way. A stone's throw from the beach and local eatery, so well equipped and nice to eat off china, every cooking tool you could think of. The colour scheme and furnishings were so attractive and plenty of room for 4 adults. We would highly recommend.

    — Liz - Airbnb, 05 Oct 2021

  • Perfect great location lovely clean tidy house and garden

    — Andrew - Airbnb, 12 Sep 2021

  • We had a great week in Michele's lovely house by the sea. The location was great, 2 minutes walk to the beach and 10 minutes or so to Lowestoft. The house was immaculate and very well presented. The conservatory was a bonus too. Michele's handbook is very detailed for places to eat and visit. We enjoyed The Third Crossing, Sunrise at Zak's cafe, the Jolly Sailors, Pakefield beach, quaint Southwold and, my favourite, Covehithe beach. Also went to the circus one evening and to watch local speed boat races (Thursday nights in August). I recommend water shoes for the pebbles (mixed sand/pebble beaches)!

    — Ingrid - Airbnb, 17 Aug 2021

  • Just returned from a wonderful week here. Kipper cottage is a delightful refuge from the real world. Felt relaxed and at home from the minute we walked in. Mitty has done a brilliant job turning it into your own home away from home . It is a 2 minute walk from The Jolly Sailor, which is the closest of the six pubs in Pakefield. Most do food, the furthest is a 15 minute walk. So no need to venture far of an evening. We also enjoyed The Oddfellows , where we ate in the bar and restaurant. Good value for money in all of them. Can’t wait to go back again. Would definitely recommend Pakefield, if you want peace and lovely walks, and you couldn’t find a better place to enjoy it from than Kipper Cottage

    We had the pleasure of staying in Kipper Cottage for a week in June 2021. The cottage is beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you could possibly need during your stay. We had admired the cottage in the photos when we booked and weren’t disappointed as we found it was even better than it looked online.
    Pakefield has a beautiful beach and we would also recommend a trip to the Ferini Gallery which is just round the corner and sells lots of lovely art works produced by local artists at very affordable prices.
    Michele was the perfect host and we have no hesitation in recommending her cottage for anyone wanting to explore the beautiful county of Suffolk.

    — Michelle - via Airbnb, 01 Jun 2021

  • Lovely Kipper Cottage is very well situated to explore this part of the Suffolk coast and Broads. Easy walking distance to pubs, shops and restaurants and the beach. The cottage was exceptionally spotlessly clean and well equipped. Comfy kingsize bed (we didn't use the others) and furniture. Michele is a brilliant host; she is excellent at communicating; answering questions very rapidly with a great sense of humour. We will certainly rebook if we go to that part of Suffolk again. Thank you Michele.

  • We were the first to stay in this lovely house. It was very well presented, freshly decorated, clean and amazingly equiped. Great back garden for sitting in the sun or for kids to play safely. Super location so close to Lowestoft town, supermarkets, the beach (2 mins) and the A12 for the rest of Suffolk. 10 out of 10.

    Response from Michele:
    Thank you for the great review and for being such lovely guests. Hope to welcome you back another time

    Private feedback:
    Michele, thanks for having us. We loved the house, it was perfect and you have done a super job. It's a lovely place and a great location. We did get to sit in the garden and I have to say we would have been happy to just stay for years. Thank you so much and good luck with it going forward Anthony and Maxine
