A lot of effort had been made to think of every little item that you would have at home. The setting was lovely in a quite village and an excellent base for touring east Suffolk. Sutton Hoo is only 5 miles away and well worth a visit, try to get on a tour, they are brilliant. Woodbridge is an interesting town and the tide Mill Museum is another must, particularly go at the time the mill is working. A trip on a sunny day to Bawdsey Beach - 3 miles away was also lovely with plenty of sand, but watch our for jellyfish! And finally the Ramsholt Arms is on the river and the food and drink was amazing.

Sandlings is a beautiful property, clean, welcoming and comfortable. It had everything we needed and was very quiet at night. I would recommend it.
