What a wonderful cottage .Small , but perfect . The property was so clean , and you could feel the love and thought that has gone into Perry Acres . The stairs are steep and some of the floorboards are wonky , but for us , this added to the charm . Thus , if you have any mobility issues , then perhaps this isnt the cottage for you . However , thereRead more are handrails . My only complaint is that we booked for 3 nights , wish we had stayed for longer. We shall defo be returning . Hide

A charming, characterful cottage which is cosy and welcoming. Everything you could possibly want has been provided, and every detail carefully considered. The location is perfect, being quiet yet within ten minutes of Framlingham and some great pubs.
