would have been better if the garden had been grass rather than pebbles dogs prefer grass fan over cooker didnt work and no welcome pack when we arrived the plates and dishes could do with replacing some had chips in them the village pub was only open 4 days and the village shop and cafe was in a village hall not very good for dog walks all on pavement got to travel to get a good walk.

Lovely place to stay. Be prepared for short journeys to the coast. Must be aware of stairs to mezzanine bedroom and downstairs bathroom with hand held shower over lovely corner bath.Small enclosed courtyard fine for dog. We knew the area and deliberately chose it near to Reedham to reminisce.Suited us fine in spite of poor weather.

We booked this cottage for a four night break, and what a lovely place to stay. It was so warm, comfortable and peaceful. The price was very reasonable and the host was lovely too. There was everything we needed and cannot fault this place. It’s very dog friendly and has a safe enclosed garden. There is a village shop about ten minutes walk from the cottage ( turn left as you leave the cottage ).
