Ideally would prefer an upstairs loo/bathroom but not a major problem. Nicely decorated for Christmas and gift of wine and biscuits much appreciated. Good location for Southwold and surrounding areas. We didn't use the outside garden area which would be great for the summer.

The off street parking is at the rear of the property and easily accessed. It has a spacious dog friendly garden. It has a well equipped kitchen but If the owner is restocking the kitchen we would have found a second larger frying pan, a medium saucepan, a greater variety of cooking knives and a knife sharpener useful. We would recommend this property and hope to return.

It is very spacious with a large secure garden and private parking. It is a good location for easy access for walking to Southwold and Walberswick and driving to other interesting places such as Dunwich, Aldeburgh and Snape Maltings. The only slight downside is there is no upstairs toilet. Although it wasn't an issue for us it is advertised as having a wood burning stove but doesn't have one. Overall we had a lovely time and would certainly go back again.
