Even without a car this is a great location. The Boathouse was comfortable and cosy and very close to the pub. We enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the location and the views across the River Deben. We used it as a base for walking the peninsular. For those thinking of arriving by train. M&R Cars are very reliable. The bus stops are about 2.5 miles walk away and there is Connecting Communities transport available that can be pre-booked. We would happily stay here again

I wanted a quiet New Year break and definitely made the right choice. I was moved to Quayside Cottage by the owner so was able to enjoy the river views. Good walking in the area and an excellent village pub. Would like to return.
