There is everything you could possibly need in the cottage. The owners have thought about everything. The accommodation is excellent it is so well thought out a gem in a lovely area. There are 3 beautiful bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom so easily accommodate a family.Long Sutton is a small village nearby. There are also a few shops,takeaways including a first class Chip Shop within approximately 15 minutes walking distance. There is also private off road parking in front of the cottage .We received a lovely welcome from the owner Jenny who lives next door. The welcome pack was exceptional the best we have ever had!!! We would definitely recommend Duck Pond Cottage and look forward to returning again.
