The house's charm and the village's friendly atmosphere contribute to a special, relaxing stay.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity and proximity to local attractions such as Southwold, Aldeburgh, and various village shops. The peaceful village setting is appreciated for walks and the nearby beaches.

The comfort of the cottage is frequently highlighted, with guests mentioning the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and cosy log fire. The property is described as warm and welcoming, suitable for guests of all ages.

The property is well-equipped, with a particularly well-stocked kitchen and quality TVs. However, one review suggests the addition of another shower could benefit the property. The large garden and parking availability are also noted.

The thoughtfulness of the hosts is evident through mentions of welcome gifts such as wine and chocolates, fresh flowers, and provisions for pets. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

    • Mr Iwaszkiewicz

      We found the cottage to be of a very high standard both regarding amenities and decor .There was so much space for larger groups/families, however maybe the property would benefit from an additional shower . The gardens are beautiful and fully enclosed and there is parking for three cars ( possibly four ). The owners were on hand to help us with a small query regarding the central heating and couldnt be more accommadating. We hope to book this property again in the future .

    • Mr Brockett

      The house was so well stocked with commodities, consumables and even dog food etc that we wanted for nothing. More attention should be made of the very good and close local stores

      Comfortable, well appointed, thoughtful and in a beautiful peaceful spot with so many walks at the doorstep. Perfect!
