Third time around in this superb accommodation, central to the village and close to Aldeburgh, Leiston and my upbringing village of Friston.

A perfect spacious 4 bed Tudor House with every amenity you can wish for to complement the comfort and cleanliness. Most highly recommended and I will be back!

A very clean, comfortable welcoming cottage in an excellent location .

Very well- equipped and lacked for nothing. A real home-from-home. Close to the beach and The Meare and a wonderful coffee shop cum cafe just across the road. Bus service into Aldeburgh and within easy reach of Dunwich, Minsmere, Orford and Snape Maltings . An excellent base to explore this part of the Suffolk coast.. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday had by all of our 3-generational group.

We love getting the family together here.

The house is so welcoming, clean and well equipped. We were cosy despite the gales outside which caused a powercut on Christmas morning! Perfectly sited for walks into Aldeburgh.
