A lovely peaceful cottage in a great location.
A lovely peaceful cottage in a great location. Never got a chance to get to know the owners as they were heading of on holiday. Some great local villages to visit Could of stayed for an other week exploring the surrounding area.
Lovely warm and cosy accommodation situated well off the beaten track but centrally placed to visit
Lovely warm and cosy accommodation situated well off the beaten track but centrally placed to visit everywhere we wanted to go within 30-45 minutes. Went to Dunwich Heath, Aldeburgh, Flatford Mill, Southwold, Lavenham, Sutton Hoo, Saxmunden, Lowestoft, Thetford Forest and also enjoyed just walking to Fressingfield. Were welcomed not only with a couple of nice surprises from the owners but also by an enormous number of pheasants! Many thanks for everything.

A lovely setting.
A lovely setting. The Cottage is secluded although the main house is close if anything is needed. A friendly welcome. We are thinking we shall revisit in the summer when we can use the pool.

We had a wonderful mid-week break at the Cottage. The hosts were wonderful and left an arrival gift of wine and chocolates which was much appreciated. The cottage was well equipped and the location was ideal - quiet countryside walks and the village a short drive away has a good restaurant and mini-market. If you love nature and wildlife you will love it here!
