Mr Brear
We very much enjoyed our stay at this smallish country cottage. It has some unusual benefits, such as the outside covered sitting area, outlook over the pond and traditional decor; together with some 'quirky' features including the low beam across the landing. The position is convenient for access to Norwich and the Broads as well as the Suffolk coast, including Sutton Hoo and Minsmere, all about an hour away. The owners are next door and are very friendly and helpful. The only thing we missed was not visiting the local pub, which gets excellent reviews!

We loved Dragonfly Cottage and its beautiful, quiet location. Magic! The owners are very helpful too. There is a low beam on the landing which you have to duck under and mind your head! Getting onto the lane from the driveway requires a team effort as the traffic shifts along it, but its fine if one person gets out to see the all clear.
