The cottage was very clean and well presented being located in a very tranquil , rural setting much to our liking. The sheep , pigs and chickens were amusing to watch at times and gave an added interest to the cottage. Owner was very helpful with any issues raised being speedily resolved. His local knowledge which was useful for giving us a good insight into the local area.It was our first visit to Suffolk and we really enjoyed the area.We visited Southwold , Beccles , Bressingham Gardens and the East Anglia Transport Museum, all of which are thoroughly recommended.The Swan Inn at Barnby has an excellent restaurant as well as serving excellent cask ales. Ownre pointed out that it's possible to walk to the Swan across the fields in about 20 minutes, which we did a couple of times. Thanks for providing a good base for our very enjoyable holiday
