). A lovely quiet retreat surrounded by nature. An escape from our busy lives in Surrey. Some nice local pubs too with very friendly staff. We will definitely be back. The property has everything you need.

Nice location for walks to the quayside & the local cafes & pubs. Our only downside was the downstairs bathroom & toilet, as something we are not used to, but that is personal preference. Maybe fit a clothesline for washing in the garden. We had a lovely stay, thank you Reedham is a beautiful village.

The garden was good for the dog, the beds and lounge were comfy and kitchen was well equipped. Only a short walk from Reedham and local shop. Point to note, bathroom downstairs. We had a wonderful stay.
