For a change of pace, head to Ipswich and have lunch or dinner on the much-photographed Marina or head into the centre for a spot of shopping. Then head back to Angel Lane, head into town for a lovely dinner or relax and unwind in the cosy living room and talk about adventures yet to come. Just perfect!

Very well equipped , thoughtful touches ( picnic basket /ice blocks , beach towels , throws etc ), amazing use of space especially in the kitchen.Despite staying during the current heatwave the property was comfortable ( fan provided ) with shade in the garden .Clive was very approachable and supplied full info and photos for our arrival. The welcome pack that he supplied was much appreciated especially the water and fruit juice in the fridge .The property is very well located for all amenities albeit there is a short uphill walk to the main road.As mentioned in other reviews this property has steep stairs to the bedrooms and deep steps from the living room to the kitchen and from the kitchen to the conservatory so may be difficult for people with mobility problems. Overall this is a very comfortable cottage for all seasons as Clive, the owner, has thought of everything to make your stay perfect.

22 Angel lane, well done and thank you for a relaxing Easter break. Arrived late afternoon Good Friday and was surprised to find parking on street only 2 mins away. The rear entrance is the first glimpse of the cottage and it is not disappointing, a wonderful enclosed garden well looked after leading to a very usable conservatory. The kitchen is a very well equipped area, clean and tidy and so comfortable to use. The bathroom is of the Kitchen, with bath and electric shower great towel rad. lounge was super, huge TV with many apps. room very comfy with wood burner. The two Bedrooms are very clean and Bright lots of cupboard space, the rooms are served by two staircases both of which are steep but good Bannister rails provided. We were here over Easter so the Town was very busy but we still managed tables and wonderful food less than 5 minute walk away.

I loved my stay here, it was a very cosy cottage to be in and felt really homely. The interior has been well thought out to give you all that you need and I enjoyed exploring the local area too. A really intentional space with lots of care put in, thank you so much!
