A lovely cottage in a very peaceful backdrop of the Suffolk countryside. We found it to be a very relaxing and peaceful place to stay. It is only a short distance drive to the beaches and lively coastal towns. The cottage was very clean and well presented. The kitchen is reasonably well equipped.

The Granary is a fabulous dog friendly property. The interior decor is very tasteful and the pantry cupboard in the kitchen an absolute gem. The garden is nice and large for our dog to do some great zoomies and also very wildlife friendly - we heard owls and green woodpeckers nearby. The area around and about is lovely with some great places to visit in any weather and lots of fab places to eat - the Bell at Walberswick being a particular favourite of old and it didn't disappoint this time either.
