Quaint cottage with lovely atmosphere, an easy distance from walks, nearby towns and the seaside. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. There's no village shop in Wenhaston, so best to pack your essentials or head to Halesworth for a Co-op. I'd recommend taking your own pillow and a mattress topper, as the beds and pillows are very hard and old. There was some limescale and grime in the bathroom sink and shower, but otherwise the house was very tidy and quite clean. A very peaceful spot to stay, and the garden with outdoor seating is a lovely extra we enjoyed.

A clean and comfortable holiday cottage in a rural setting but also not far away from the coast. Just right for a quiet weeks holiday. No hesitation in recommending if the quiet week is what you are looking for.
