    “Just came back from a week staying in this lovely caravan/glamping van (not sure what to call it!”

    ) and it was awesome. The secure garden was great for our greyhound to run around in and we could let him out in the knowledge he would be safe. Although it seems like miles from anywhere it's only a few minutes walk from the village which has a lovely friendly pub with good community atmosphere and pub grub.

    ) and it was awesome. The secure garden was great for our greyhound to run around in and we could let him out in the knowledge he would be safe. Although it seems like miles from anywhere it's only a few minutes walk from the village which has a lovely friendly pub with good community atmosphere and pub grub. It's only a 10 minute drive from Stowmarket too which has loads of facilities including supermarkets, restaurants and take-aways. The accommodation was very clean and the layout ideal for 2 humans and their dog. The linen and REALLY FLUFFY TOWELS were an added bonus. The TV is a Smart TV so you will need to log into your various streaming platforms if you want to watch anything as there's no terrestrial TV channels. If I had a few bits of feedback it would be that the kitchen could have a few more pans, chopping boards and baking trays and maybe some mugs as well as cups. And the sofas/armchairs could be a bit more comfy (less garden furniture more put your feet up furniture). All in all a lovely caravan in a lovely spot.

    Thanks so much for your response, there were mugs so I will check that out and the baking tins are in the side of the cupboard. We hope you come back soon.xx Property Owner
