We had a fantastic week. This cottage is a terrific base for exploring Suffolk, with loads of great day trips within easy reach. There was plenty of space for a family of four plus a Labrador. We especially enjoyed spending time in the garden in the fine weather. We made use of the smart TV and the board games. We had no noise whatsoever from the pub or the neighbours. The parking space is very close and secure - better than we expected from the description. Overall a fantastic stay.
