    Very peaceful location. We enjoyed our stay and visited some lovely places.

  • Rachael

    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 “beams and period charm” 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 don’t get caught out? Overall a great property and a beautiful part of the country.

    Would have been nice to have a couple of deckchairs as well as the bench.
