The large garden is a real must for anyone travelling with a family, and wanting outdoor space to soak up the Suffolk sunshine or for your four legged friend to enjoy! The Vintage House lives up to it's name with a kitsch 1920s feel throughout the family holiday home. Worry not, there's every mod con and creature comfort you could wish for during your holiday to the Suffolk Coast.
Can you believe it? The house amazingly still has all the original furniture that was bought for the house in 1928, all brought back to life by careful restoration. How wonderful to be able to show your children history in action! There's even the Newsom room, a room dedicated to preserving the history of the house! It's like having your very own museum!
