Youâll have seen a new brush and dustpanâ¦. So sorry, we broke a plate ( warming it on the mini oven, opened said oven and it slipped off. ) Swept up the bits a bit too vigorously and broke the brushâ¦.

The cottage is beautifully decorated, cosy, quiet, comfortable and clean as a whistle. The owners clearly take pride in ensuring that their guests have the best possible experience. The cottage is also perfectly located to visit all the wonderful places on and near the Suffolk coast within half an hour's drive or less. Meanwhile, there are great walking trails within easy reach - we particularly enjoyed morning walks along both banks of the River Alde, only 5-10 minutes away by car. Lots of great pubs nearby for a relaxed dinner and a pint of Suffolk's finest at the end of each day too.

The owners had thought of everything, and successfully, with thoughtful storage,provided all that one might need. A pleasant surprise was a well provisioned welcome basket. Lots of lovely walking for myself and Poppy! Thank you
