When returning or leaving in the dark a light over the parking area would be helpful and the walk over wet grass to the door is not the best.

The Lounge was comfortable and stylish and a great place to relax in the evenings. It was only a short drive to the Suffolk Coast where there is plenty to explore. Coming back to a designated parking space after a day out is a big plus for us and one of the reasons we picked this property. Perhaps the mention of âbeams and period charmâ should have clued us in that there would be LOW beams and doorways. This curtailed the comfort of the taller members of our family who spent the week stooped over. Perhaps this could be added to the description of the property so people as naive as us donât get caught out? Overall a great property and a beautiful part of the country.
