The thriving village of Walsham-le-Willows is located in central Suffolk, halfway between Badwell Ash and Wattisfield.

Additional restaurants and retail establishments, including The White Horse Inn pub and a spar convenience store, are located in Badwell Ash.

Where else would you be able to have a totally private garden fully equipped with furniture and hot tub. The accommodation inside was equal to a five star hotel but with the benefit of the total space just for your use. The area was peaceful and everything you could imagine for a small hamlet and a place that most would love to live in. Our hosts Tammi and Paul were friendly, charming and informative. It was a perfect location for travelling to places such Bury St Edmonds, Southwold and of course a trip on the river to see the Norfolk Broads. There were numerous places to eat and we ate at The White Horse Inn and had fish and chips from the local shop in Badwell Ash both of which were in the next willage. As a famous actor once said..... We will be back!!!!! Ann Adams
