We loved this place. Cost and quiet and well equipped. A couple of miles walk over the fields into Framlingham. Lovely seaside towns of Southwold and Walberswick nearby.

Lovely, helpful owners. Great, peaceful location. Overall it was a warm, clean and comfortable holiday let, but the furniture was rather tired, and odd things like chipped plates, and very blunt knives, let it down a bit. However, it was good value for money, compared to other places I've stayed.
