Mrs Churchill
This is a lovely cottage. Wonderful sunsets, comfy beds, great shower, dog safe garden and a lovely lovely holiday. The accommodation was generous in size and amenities - games to play, comfy seats, comfy clean beds and not far from Southwold. We loved it. Felt relaxed and enjoyed both the property and local amenities and attractions. Very well situated. Thank you!

The cottage is tastefully decorated and is very homely. The rear of the garden is secure for children to play and the paddocks behind the garden offer a very pleasant view of countryside together with the two goats.
