Absolutely fantastic!! We have stopped in hundreds of holiday cottages around Dunwich and Southwold and this hidden gem was the best by far!!! We loved it. The location was fantastic with a park and shops 1 minute down the road and the beach 10 minute walk way. The cottage was spotless and had everything a family wants. The views were stunning, with lovely sunsets across the allotments. Thanks so much for having us.
