Mount Pleasant Farm is a spacious, modernised 18th Century farmhouse that comfortably sleeps 8 guests. Surrounded by several footpaths and bridleways, it is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It is exceptionally peaceful, and the sea can often be heard. This is a “Dark Sky” area, so the night skies are amazing with very little pollution so sit back and look out for those shooting stars and make a wish.
You can step outside onto a network of footpaths and bridleways, or easily explore the area on your bike. There is a secluded "Woof" walk where you can happily let your dog off lead to enjoy the countryside. The area is steeped in history and there is plenty of information in the Dunwich Museum.
