This cottage is absolutely amazing, this is our second visit, it absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. There aren't any local amenities due to the quiet rural position but as you have to drive to get to it then we just picked up supplies whilst we were out and about. The local pubs are great with great food. The wildlife on the doorstep is amazing. The internet is intermittent but with such a rural position it's not really surprising but so what, it's good to emerse yourself in a good book, call me old fashioned. We will definitely be going back, it's so good to escape the ratrace for a short while. We always book through Cottages.com and have never been disappointed with their properties, they're exactly as they are described with no hidden costs

The cottage is spacious, clean, well equipped & clearly loved by the owner. It was always cosy & we loved lighting the log burner after our days out exploring the local area. The location is great for visiting local attractions & prefect for bird watching. The extended garden, a mini nature reserve, was great for walking Alfie the Cockerpoo at the start of the day. Sadly the lack of enclosed area means before bedtime bathroom breaks had to be on the lead, not great when it’s pouring with rain.We would return but the bed & duvet size need an upgrade & the lack of internet could be a major issue for some.

Excellent, clean and well located accommodation from which the coast and historic market towns such as Saxmundham and Framlingham can be visited. The facility to walk in and enjoy extensive wooded grounds is an additional bonus. All equipment has been thought about and is of high quality.
