The location is just outside Bungay. The hosts were welcoming and charming. The garden is spacious with the River Waveney at the bottom. The first part of the garden is fenced off in order to restrain pets. With a shower room both upstairs and downstairs the cottage is most suitable for a party of 4 people. We would recommend the property to both friends and family.

Very comfortable beds, having two bathrooms was useful, one up one down. Great hosts who live next door. Lovely to use the whole garden, not just the enclosed space. This leads down to the river Waveney, beautiful quiet spot to sit with a cuppa late evening to watch the sunset. Nice location, circa half hour to get to the coast etc. Our dog made friends with the hosts visitors very friendly dog. We hope to return.
