Outside, the garden is a lovely space to chill out, with a table and chairs for an evening of dining alfresco and a patch of lawn for pups to play.

Comfy cpttage in great location. Very quiet. Kitchen a bit tired but all works well. Well equipped although the lack of a tin opener frustrated us one day but this was resolved by friendly neighbour.

The property is well situated for the coastal parts of Suffolk and on the edge of farmland. First impressions around the entrance door are not favourable because it is quite scruffy. Fortunately the inside tells a different story. The house would benefit if all of its easy to understand notes were in one place Having said that the house is very spRead moreacious and the bedroom has masses of wardrobe and drawer space. Overall a comfortable stay with a few reservations Hide

Unfortunately the current standard of the property is summed up by the "welcome pack"; two small soaps, two dishwasher tablets, one tea bag and half a J's cloth.

Cottage very clean , well equipped and spacious. The only shortcoming as mentioned above is lack of comfortable seating in the lounge. Still 9 marks out of ten!

Nice cottage approached along a very rural bumpy track, you are definitely in the countryside here. Large accommodation with good shower and comfortable bed. Small fenced off garden for our furry friend. Well equipped kitchen. The cottage looks as if its had a long hard season and could do with a bit of tlc.

We loved the Cart Shed as it was all on one level as my husband has bad mobility and a walk in shower. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog and we had lovely walks from the house. We also found the neighbours very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed super food in local pubs and sightseeing along the coast from Southwold to Aldebourgh.
