“Lovely property, clean, well equipped and furnished.”

Owners on site and were charming. The only problem we had was loss of internet, this was soon resolved, with a pleasant smile and natter with owner. Lovely large garden for my little dog to run in (on long lead) so safe, more room to run around for dogs and children directly across the road in the park.

“Golden Cross is a warm, comfortable and well furnished accommodation.”

Owners, Pam and Harry had provided everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere while being close to local towns for shopping and exploring. The bed was big and comfortable and the shower room more than adequate. All in all a delightful place to stay.

Gerald October 2025

“Had a lovely welcome from Pam and Harry on arrival.”

The cottage was absolutely perfect for us and our little blind dog, who soon got used to the layout of the lounge and kitchen. The enclosed small garden, again was perfect for her. The cottage is really well equipped, with everything you need. The beds were really comfortable, and night lights are a great help/ It is in a a quiet area, but only a 5 minute drive from shops, restaurants and takeaways. a 35 minute drive from Southwold, Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft. One of the best breaks we have had.

- Gerald, October 2025

Thank you for your lovely review. so glad you enjoyed your stay and got to explore our wonderful countryside and seaside. We try to keep it a secret. Thanks again Pam and Harry Property Owner
