The house was just right with its log burner, old beams etc and great facilities. The kitchen is very well equipped, good cooker with 2 ovens open plan with the living room made a good space for cooking and entertaining. We arrived to a Christmas tree and very generous welcome pack . There was plenty of wood for the log burner. We knew there was no parking with the house . There is free on street parking with no time limit approx 10 mins walk away ( near Woodbridge school) more information about available parking in the details would be helpful. There was no guest information folder which is unusual. It would be helpful to have one with instructions for the heating, where the logs are kept , which bins to use and arrangements for recycling etc .

The welcome pack was really thoughtful, it meant we didnât need to run to the shops until at least the afternoon following our arrival making for a restful first morning. The location is fantastic. Sykes WhatsApp number was quick to respond and troubleshoot a couple of issues. We would love to say here again
