Debbie
Lovely comfortable bed. Everything we needed. The owner was really helpful. The cottage was situated in a very quiet street and parking was always available. Excellent spot for visiting surrounding areas, some lovely local pubs and the corner shop was ideally situated. It is a short walk to the beach where you can walk or cycle along the promenade to Lowestoft. Would definitely stay here again 10/10!!

We stayed there a few years ago - with a dog that time, as there is provision for this. The house has a table and chairs in the back yard which would have been lovely to use more had our weather been conducive. I missed a shoe rack or cupboard - perhaps we carry too many shoes away with us! Other than this, we were happy with the equipment provided, thank you.
