We loved staying here, the kitchen was well equipped, big rooms, the balcony was a particular favorite especially for our dog who spent hours out there! Everywhere was beautifully clean, a comfortable temperature and nicely furnished. The location was perfect for us, so quiet, yet walking distance from the local pub and thr beach. We would like to book for this time next year if that is possible..

Very comfortable and can easily accommodate 4 adults, 4 children and a dog without feeling on top of each other. The house is beautiful and modest with elegant furnishings and a well appointed kitchen, the owner has put thought into the finishings and small things (board games for the kids, local maps, champagne flutes) which made the stay enjoyable. The views were enjoyable, very peaceful and quiet. A short walk to the local pub (the Eels Foot) less than 5 minutes. 30 minutes to Framlingham Castle. 25 minute walk to the beach. Going to be really picky with one downside, we found the water in the shower, either really hot or really cold, even with micro movements of the temperature handle.
