Excellent welcome pack. Property very well presented and suited our needs. The garden is excellent both the fenced off section to keep our dog safe and opportunity to walk down the garden to the river. Loved watching the wren ‘flitting’ around. Kitchen had everything we needed, cooked a full roast whilst we were there and a buffet for visiting relatives. Lots of very helpful info provided including loads of walks… wished we’d had more time. Hope to return again.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Lowlands. It is a great location for the coast and so many other places in Suffolk and Norfolk. Great to be able to go down to the river and watch the wildlife. The accommodation was lovely, clean and comfortable and well equipped. Definitely hope to go back again soon
