This light, bright and welcoming abode has been furnished with the holidaymaker in mind. The open plan living area is both comfortable and practical. The fitted kitchen has a modern style, whilst the table and furniture reflect the countryside setting. Windows look out to the garden beyond, helping to draw the outside in. 

The bedroom is truly homely; complete with superking size bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and dressing table, there is plenty of room to store your belongings and call Vine Cottage 'home'.

Enjoyed our Easter weekend break at Vine Cottage. Well equipted kitchen with quality appliances, did need to use the manual to get the oven to work, but all that information is provided. Sofa and large bed were really comfortable, making the cottage an enjoyable relaxing experience. Large bathroom, with bath and overhead shower. Everything you neeRead moreded after a busy day walking the King Charles III coastal path, in Suffolk. Plenty of scenic walks within an hour of the cottage and picturesque places of interest. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. Hide

We enjoyed our stay at Vine cottage. The hosts were lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Although adjacent to a busy road the cottage is set in a lovely garden with abundant birdlife whch may be viewed through the windows. Vine cottage is a clean property overall and we felt comfortable and at home.
