    Well kitted out, and nice and clean. The utility room was a god send with our dog as the weather was wet for 2/3 days of our weeks stay, so cleaning him up in there was great. The secure garden was lovely for him as well. The location of the property is brilliant for visiting places like Southwold, Lowestoft, Thorpeness and we went as far as Felixstowe. We would thoroughly recommend 1 Tunns Cottages. The staircase is steep but you do get used to it after a while but worth bearing in mind for those with mobility issues. The log burner was lovely to put on in the chilly evenings.

  • Stephen

    Quiet, serene and even though the stairs are a bit for a man with my back, it has been equipped to make the ups and downs easy. Its location is superb for all the surrounding countryside and the beach. The garden is a dream. The kitchen is fab. I didn't actually miss home. Bravo.

  • Jacqueline

    Would have liked to have been informed of the very steep and narrow staircase prior to booking, would a rope bannister help? Must say what a wonderful garden and the flowers and wine we're very much appreciated. Also, the quality of towels and bedding outstanding
