We enjoyed a very comfortable stay along with our dog, enjoying the sun room and nearby recreational ground. It's a great base for exploring the county and we particularly enjoyed Framlingham and coastal villages such as Walberswick and Thorpeness.

Very clean, modern and comfortable house with fantastic garden. In centre of small Suffolk village. Some road noise but nothing significant. Some great countryside walks nearby and recommend visit to Sutton Hoo and Lavenham. Village shop and decent Chinese takeaway walking distance.

Also, a very well equipped kitchen with all the necessary utensils. A lovely private garden, secure parking. Many places of interest to visit in the surrounding area.
