It is very spacious with a large secure garden and private parking. It is a good location for easy access for walking to Southwold and Walberswick and driving to other interesting places such as Dunwich, Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings. The only slight downside is there is no upstairs toilet. Although it wasn't an issue for us it is advertised as having a wood burning stove but doesn't have one. Overall we had a lovely time and would certainly go back again.

The cottage had everything needed for a holiday and we all enjoyed the gardeb especially playing hide and seek. We love Southwold and the surrounding areas, so enjoyed the locality of the cittage to Southwold with a short 1 mile walk into town and the pier. Some other great walks or bike rides to Walbersiwck via local paths. Crabbing was brilliant on the harbour. All Adnams pubs are great with freindly staff. We also visited Becckes for the skate park and outside pool (Lido). If you want proper coffee a 30min drive to Etude Coffee at Th Silo, NR35 2RU, to get your beans is a must! (this coming from a speciliaty coffee roaster Distinguished Roasts Ltd).
