We loved Tower Cottage it was in a great place. The walk down to the river and over the bridge to Southwold was glorious. So close to two pubs for meals and plenty of lovely walks. It was not overlooked so we felt very private The rooms were bright and not cluttered up with too much furniture

A very good family house. We had 2 young children and 2 dogs in our party and really appreciated the large secure garden with plenty of space for ball games. Also small child friendly features in the house. We really enjoyed our first experience of crabbing. Very clean comfortable house with well equipped kitchen.

The location of this property is just superb and I dont think we realised quite how much from reading the description! Its a lovely bike ride to Southwold on a nice road that was so easy for the kids. Its also a stones throw away from all the activity of Walberswick but nice and quiet!
