Absolutely lovely little cottage. Very well equipped at a high standard. Janet and Brian were exceptional hosts. Very friendly and helpful. The only way to improve this property for us (we stayed with 3 labradors) would be to have a larger garden. However, Janet and Brian were happy for our dogs to go through to their garden.

The cottage was spacious clean and well equipped. Janet and Brian provided a warm welcome , some treats on arrival and lots of excellent advice about days out, where to eat etc which helped make our stay even more enjoyable. Halesworth centre is close enough to walk to and lovely to explore the independent shops and eateries but the cottage location is quiet and the beds were exceptionally comfy so we slept really well.
