Isobel
...she had several uncomfortable nights. The table in the kitchen was too low to sit under and we wondered whether we could find some bricks to sure it up. I slept well but the mattresses were on the tin side and it took a few nights to get used to that. Apart from these things, the cottage was excellent with all that we needed. We loved the garden and the layout of the house, the views from the sitting room.

All the facilities we needed were available and we loved the large garden which suited out seven year old twin grand children. Bonuses, Close to the sea, walk to the shop and the pub and easy trip to Southwold. We will book again.
