Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to stay in some superb holiday properties .However, Swallows Nest has to be the ultimate. It’s incredibly comfortable and uniquely furnished. It really has a home from home feel.The owners are the most welcoming, hospitable, people. Available if you need anything but never intrusive. I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

A beautiful and well equipped cottage great for a relaxing stay, in the countryside but still close to Bungay, Beccles and Haleswoth.Comfy beds and plenty of space.The bottle of Prosecco was a lovely touch, we will be back.

Lovely cottage & very welcoming hosts - really comfortable & had everything you needed - lovely location quite remote but small cluster of other properties so not isolated - definitely need a car We visited Aldebourgh- Beccles - Bungay & Southwold - & the local dog friendly pub had really extensive menu & great pub grub Would go again perhaps in the Summer
