The lounge and.bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was a good space and the bathroom had an over the bath shower with plenty of hot water. Nice space outside too. Dog friendly cottage with a green space in the front garden. Great location for an easy walk to Framingham for its pubs and castle. Nice local dog walks too. Located well for touring the area too. It was the ideal place for our 3 day trip.

I found the information a little vague as regards the steps ,if I had known the problems I would not have booked the property. It is not for older people with mobility problems and the trip to the toilet in the night is challenging. It would be fine for younger people.
