    . Plenty of private parking which is a bonus. The Woodburner was lovely with plenty of wood provided Good communication with Nick and Monica via email. The only down side for us was the constant fuel smell from the boiler which permeated throughout the cottage, The boiler being housed in the kitchen didn't make food preparation a very nice experience ..

    Well equipped comfortable cottage.

    We were shown the fantastic array of mushrooms that grow on the heath absolutely beautiful. The cottage itself has a good feel, warm and cozy and thoughtful basics that most people don’t provide like oil and condiments are. Tiger Hill and the surrounding nature reserve is unique a hidden gem in Suffolk. Whilst the cottage is wonderful the two bathrooms with one toilet is on the ground floor and the two lovely bedrooms upstairs which might be an issue with mobility problems as the stairs are steep and and have a shallow depth. We are in our 70’s and found it no problem.
