This was by far the best place weve stayed in so far since being down in Ipswich. Christine was a great host and everyone really enjoyed their stay. Would highly recommend this place

Quiet, peaceful, relaxing location but only a few miles from Ipswich city centre. House and owners very welcoming and we had a wonderful weekend stay. Would definitely recommend for a family with ( or without ) dogs. Would like to visit again in warmer season to enjoy the wildlife and proximity of reservoir ( water activities ) even more.
