Wasnât prepared to buy a roll for a size we wouldnât use a home The kettle needs descaling. I rinsed it the best I could but still had gritty tea. The fridge is very noisy and disturbed our sleep.

It is quietly tucked away from the main road. Very handy for Snape Maltings. A good base for us to re explore the Suffolk locality. the bed was very comfortable, which makes a big difference when away from home.
