The cottage is so well equipped and comfortable, home from home. Thank you so much, Iâll be returning!
Carolyn
The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well equipped and we enjoyed a very relaxing stay. A nice welcome pack on arrival and treats for our dog. Parking outside the property can be problematic at times. Good, friendly communication from the Owner. We are looking forward to our next visit later this year.
Brenda
So comfortable, well equipped, and an ideal location for walking into Aldeburgh. The Welcome pack was a nice touch too. We arrived on a Friday evening so couldnât park outside the cottage but found somewhere up the road. Will definitely be back!
