Mr Lowery
The cottage was excellent for our group of four but for a group of 8 the toilet and bathroom might be a bit of a problem. We spent a long time speculating on the original shape and structure of the house which added to our enjoyment of the stay. Nearest pub was excellent and the weather was brilliant.

Cosy, quirky cottage. Great location for visiting Snape Maltings, walking, local towns, beaches etc. Very quiet location and within easy walking distance of 2 pubs. Eateries at maltings are also walkable. The cottage has a good collection of maps for planning walks. We had a lovely week.
