  • W Davy

    A very nice stay. A charming well appointed cottage in a very attractive location. Very nice welcome pack. Received two phone calls from agents to check every thing ok. Couldn't make the CD player work otherwise everything fine. Nb you are overlooked when the neighbours are on their bridge or the island opposite but we didn't find this a problem. Worth noting the cottage has its own adjacent car park so no need to use the residents' car park over the bridge.

    A beautiful property with constantly changing views down the River Waveney. It was incredibly warm and cosy (Despite there being a major February storm outside) - well equipped and comfortable and lots to do and see in the surrounding area (especially enjoyed our trips out to Orford, Bury and Banham Zoo. Our party, aged 18-85, couldn't really fault it.

    A truly peaceful place to stay. The welcome hamper was just delightful and full to the brim with local produce. The phone call from the housekeeper to check all was ok was much appreciated.
