Every August, Westleton hosts the infamous Barrel Rolling Fair where contestants have to roll barrels down the Village Green using a pole, and the men have to roll the barrel back up the hill too. Barrels are supplied and all are welcome to join in! The local Emmerdale Farm Shop and Butchery as well as a tea shop is approximately a mile away. The area is a haven for nature lovers with Westleton Heath National Nature Reserve, Dunwich Forest, Dunwich Beach with its famous fish and chip shop located on the beach, and the rspb Minsmere, all close by.

Only one person can be in there at a time. We appreciated the dog friendliness of the cottage but spent the whole time sneezing so perhaps the throw and cushions etc need more thorough cleaning. No logs or kindling were left which is a bit tight as we arrived as instructed at 4pm and did not want to drive around looking for logs in the dark. Key safe is in a ridiculous position and hard to reach. Great position in the village though - opposite the pub and a great base for exploring beautiful Suffolk.

This year we have been blessed with very mild and dry weather - nothing like last year! The Cottage is still as cosy as ever and has everything one needs for a perfect break away. We are in our 9th year of visiting Westleton and still finding new walks. Positive feedback - maybe a sensor light by the side gate? Other than that, another great stay - thank you!

It made for a lovely short break in a beautiful part of the country. We enjoyed exploring the village and local area and Satis cottage made a great base. The dogs particularly enjoyed it and thank the owners for the treats and making them feel so welcome too. Thanks too for our welcome wine - much appreciated.
