    “The Kiln is very easy to find from the Harleston direction, but be prepared for the very narrow entrance onto the gravelled courtyard and dedicated parking space.”

    There is a convex mirror across the road to aid driving out. The Kiln is quite compact, but it was spotlessly clean and well appointed. The kitchen has a fridge, a gas hob with electric oven plus a dishwasher . The central heating worked well and the king-sized bed was very comfortable indeed. One major advantage to us as owners of a dog was the enclosed patio area. The WiFi was effective, but note that mobile phone reception in the area is poor- some local attractions, like the Camel Park ...

    There is a convex mirror across the road to aid driving out. The Kiln is quite compact, but it was spotlessly clean and well appointed. The kitchen has a fridge, a gas hob with electric oven plus a dishwasher . The central heating worked well and the king-sized bed was very comfortable indeed. One major advantage to us as owners of a dog was the enclosed patio area. The WiFi was effective, but note that mobile phone reception in the area is poor- some local attractions, like the Camel Park Oasis (well worth a visit) advise to bring cash as card machines are slow or unreliable. About 10 minutes away is Harleston which has Fish & Chips, Chinese and Indian take-aways plus food stores. If planning to visit the (lovely) coast, note that there are currently very extensive roadworks and 30mph speed limits towards the Sizewell C site, although all our dogs have loved Sizewell Beach, so that is still a good place to get them off the lead. The Kiln is definitely a nice place to stay.
