Have stayed in a number of houses every summer and 14 Dunwich is one of the best. Itâs spacious, comfortable and well maintained. It has a very good size garden which isnât shown on the house description. The bedrooms state good sizes and the two reception rooms are an added bonus. The only comment Iâd make is that we didnât use the front room much which was the bigger of the two as often we would convene around the tv in the back room. Iâd consider swapping especially as the front room gets more light. But itâs nothing to stop me coming back. The weather wasnât great unfortunately which meant we were in the house a lot more than expected.
