    A large and beautiful property. Very well equipped with plenty of mugs, crockery and cutlery, and very homely and comfortable despite there being plenty of room for 8 adults and a dog. A quiet and relaxing week with plenty of room outside to walk in and just 20 minutes from Southwold beach and harbour. A great place to stay!

    We had such a wonderful time this weekend celebrating the in laws’ 40th wedding anniversary. We bought it for them as their gift which they thoroughly enjoyed. The place is absolutely beautiful, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer retreat. Thank you.
