Nice quiet location but within a few minutes walk to the beach and promenade walk to Lowestoft. A corner shop a few doors away and the pub at the end of the road serving good food was really handy. The welcome pack of treats for all members of our party (including children and dog) was a thoughtful touch, and Jackie kept in contact to make sure we had no issues once we had arrived.

Lovely comfortable bed. Everything we needed. The owner was really helpful. The cottage was situated in a very quiet street and parking was always available. Excellent spot for visiting surrounding areas, some lovely local pubs and the corner shop was ideally situated. It is a short walk to the beach where you can walk or cycle along the promenade to Lowestoft. Would definitely stay here again 10/10!!
