A great over new year stay. Close to Norwich and Southwold. Brilliant food and drinks at the Murderers and the Red Lion. Terrific walks along Southwold beach

Had a lovely Xmas break at Brushmaker Cottage, it's nicely decorated for Christmas and was great to have a log fire burning on Christmas day. There is an Aldi, Tesco and Morrisons just 5 minutes drive away so didn't need to bring any food with us.Cottage felt really homely and is pet friendly.
