We appreciated the decent beds and bedding. We didnât cook much but we found what we needed in the kitchen (with the exception of oven gloves). The weather was starting to get chilly when we were there, and the cottage was warm and comfortable. There isnât parking immediately outside, but itâs very close so wasnât an issue - and itâs possible to drive up for loading/unloading.

Had no problems with parking. Very quiet location, all we heard from outside was birdsong. Well located for getting around the lovely attractions of Suffolk. We had a very easy, relaxed and enjoyable holiday all round.
