Confirmed Guest
Comfortable, quiet accommodation with friendly helpful landlady. Lots to do nearby with beautiful easy walking. Shotley Peninsula, Dedham Vale and Essex Coast. Something for everyone - zoos, gardens, historic sites, shoppingĺĺĺ and museums and easy access to trains to go further afield if desired but really no need. Loved it here!

Hosts helpful but not intrusive, pleasant view across the paddock with alpacas. Welcome pack of essentials.Local to Dedham by road or public footpath with shops and pubs, and further good walking to Flatford and a lovely NT tearoom by the river.The sofa and bed were comfortable, there was a practical kitchen with everything we needed and lots of storage space. Excellent shower.
