We loved Woodberry Cottage. It is one of those places that makes you smile and feel relaxed in. The garden is beautiful and nicely maintained. The location is wonderful with lovely walks from the door to the Heath, the beach and the village. Lots of muntjac deer, red deer and squirrels. Great for star gazing. It was our first visit to the Suffolk coast and we hope to return and stay in Woodberry Cottage of course!

Woodberry Cottage is perfectly situated for exploring this part of Suffolk. It is extremely comfortable, spacious, quirky, well equipped, with a wonderful safe garden for dogs (and children!). A variety of walks from the door can be enjoyed, as can the pub in the village a 15 minute walk away. The owners have made this cottage a home from home and it is obviously well loved. The housekeeping was excellent, as was the gardener.

What a wonderful location in the woods where we saw loads of wildlife. The garden is perfect for green woodpeckers, a grey squirrel, a rabbit and other birds. Everything you need in the cottage and it is very comfortable. We would highly recommend this cottage.
