The property is commended for its proximity to Beccles town centre, shops, restaurants, and transport links, making it an ideal base for exploring the area.
The annex is described as cosy, warm, and well-equipped, providing a comfortable stay. However, some guests mention the steep stairs and deep bath as potential comfort concerns.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being well-equipped and quirky. The mention of a spacious dressing room adds to the positive feedback, though the steep stairs and soundproofing between the annex and main house are noted.

What a beautiful, charming period cottage, with everything you could wish for, for a comfortable stay.We have just spent 4 days there. Wonderful. Beccles is a lovely area to visit with Norwich and Southwold not too far away. Sue and Chris were excellent hosts and little Roxy, a delight. If you are thinking of staying in the area, Northgate Bakery Annex is not to be missed.
