We had a very relaxing 4 day break in this small cottage in Blythburgh. The welcome pack, which included a bottle of wine, was appreciated. The cottage has been beautifully renovated, but has steep stairs to the first floor which might be an issue for guests with disabilities, or the very young. The door frames are also quite low. The garden has a lovely seating area for use in warm weather. Southwold, Aldeburgh and the Suffolk coast are very close to visit on days out.
