What a gem of a cottage.The location was perfect, so quiet and a short drive into Beccles and Bungay.The cottage had everything you need. Well equipped and a lovely welcome hamper when we arrived.We knew about the stairs, they are quite narrow but this is the character of the cottage. Good location for Southwold, which had a lovely beach and town.

Comfortable cottage with a lovely mature garden and hot tub. Nice welcome basket of goodies. It was very hot whilst we were there and fans were provided and the garden had lovely shady areas for a quiet read or snooze. Kitchen well equipped. Good quality farm shop nearby. Enjoyed a beautiful river trip to a community pub from Beccles Lido. Perfect place to relax and appreciate the Suffolk countryside.
