    “Fabulous cottage ideally situated to visit the main tourist areas of Suffolk.”

    Penni and Phil are great hosts and have provided a wonderful place to stay. The garden is absolutely secure for dogs and is spacious. We were lucky to get great weather all week and sat out every night until late. The kitchen is very well appointed and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. Morrisons with cheap fuel is a 10 min drive and Livingstones who serve really tasty Indian food and lovely cocktails was a 5 min drive. A mobile strawberry seller is positioned at the end of the lane ...

    Penni and Phil are great hosts and have provided a wonderful place to stay. The garden is absolutely secure for dogs and is spacious. We were lucky to get great weather all week and sat out every night until late. The kitchen is very well appointed and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. Morrisons with cheap fuel is a 10 min drive and Livingstones who serve really tasty Indian food and lovely cocktails was a 5 min drive. A mobile strawberry seller is positioned at the end of the lane towards Kessingland. Kessingland is great for an early morning or evening walk, park at the beach carpark as you enter the village as it gets very congested and narrow near the beach. We visited Henstead, Beccles, Southwold, Dunwich, Orford, Helmingham, Framlingham,Walberswick, Thorpeness, Aldeburgh and Sutton Hoo during our week. Highly recommend.
