    An excellent holiday cottage. Couldn't have asked for more in terms of the quality of the amenities. Lovely big lounge/dining/kitchen area meant we were all able to have more than ample space together.The adjoining pool was the highlight for the kids & grandkids.IThe surrounding grounds are vast and are ideal for all sorts of sports and the oldies appreciated the leisurely walking routes.As for feeding the brood, the Blue Orchid in Botesdale do excellent chinese. Dawn (the owner) recommended the Greyhound for proper stone-cooked pizzas and she was spot-on.We would not hesitate to book again in the future.

    The children loved the pool, there was a big fly problem in the house which was very annoying.

  • Confirmed Guest

    Nothing within a 15 min drive to buy a pint of milk. House is really good but in harvest time flies are a real problem. Pool good.
