Re : The Boathouse Waldringfield We had an enjoyable stay with beautiful surroundings and views. The cottage was extremely well equipped with everything one might need , a welcome pack of food essentials was left to start us off. The Cottage itself was modern and extremely clean and welcoming. Cherry and Graham the owners were very helpful and left lots of information as to local amenities and walks in the surrounding area.The local pub The Maybush was a 2min walk away and the food was extremely good. We would most definitely return if planning a break down there again.
