  • "Had a lovely welcome from Pam and Harry on arrival."

    The cottage was absolutely perfect for us and our little blind dog, who soon got used to the layout of the lounge and kitchen. The enclosed small garden, again was perfect for her. The cottage is really well equipped, with everything you need. The beds were really comfortable, and night lights are a great help/ It is in a a quiet area, but only a 5 minute drive from shops, restaurants and takeaways. a 35 minute drive from Southwold, Gt Yarmouth and Lowestoft. One of the best breaks we have had.

    Thank you for your lovely review. so glad you enjoyed your stay and got to explore our wonderful countryside and seaside. We try to keep it a secret. Thanks again Pam and Harry Property Owner
