While the accommodation was clean, the outside steps, handrails and balcony were full of cobwebs (some looked as though they had been there for ages!). No welcome goodies. A big drawback was no info on emergency services, nearest doctor etc., or what to do with rubbish at the end of the stay.There was a folder of me use on where to eat locally, I.e. in Beccles. Some menus did not even give name of place to eat-also outdated prices,. But it was not updated as many of the places to eat in Beccles had closed. Luckily we had been to that area before, so knew places further afield.

A accommodation with excellent views, with plenty of facilities to cater for your needs within the household. Manager was available in the background and was helpful and polite.,but never interfered.Property in need of some facelift in the future but wouldn’t hesitate to return sometime again!
