Comfortable and warm, quiet and relaxing. A very big walking section on the shelf and a lot of time spent preparing such information and plans, maps and books available for the area. Appealed to us as walkers and we changed some of our plans after seeing better looking walks put there by the owners. Nice small garden to relax in at rest of property with summer house, never used as this was October/November, but in right months of the year, this would be appealing. Cottage situated in a good location, only a few miles from the coastal resorts and Sutton Hoo was also a good visit. Great inland towns and villages also only a few miles away, yes , cottage good for exploring this lovely County. Owners recommended the local pub for a meal, again spot on recommend. Would return.

An ideal location for exploring the wonderful Suffolk Coast and Heaths. So many lovely villages, towns, farm shops, beaches and nature reserves within half an hour of Pegotty's Really livable, lots of utensils, products, storage. Along with nice touches left for you - tea, coffee, sugar, spices, logs for stove etc and a box of chocs). A ton of of tourist and practical info there for you too. Lots of facilities five minutes away in Saxmundham - including supermarkets, restaurants and train station. Poachers Pocket Pub is a nice walk and fantastic Sunday lunch. Only suggestion would be a larger TV. I appreciate that it's a period cottage and very well priced, but I still think 100% would be disappointed with such a small screen these days, when there's very little else to do in the evenings. All in all, an excellent value, well equipped, ideally located holiday cottage. Highly recommend.

So many books and information pamphlets with information on Suffolk and places of interest (plus instruction info on all appliances). Couldnât fault the high quality kitchen. Bed linen and bed made for an excellent sleep. Shower took a bit of getting used to but adequate. Many thanks for a great weekâs stay.
