This couldn't have been a more perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway in late winter! The cottage was incredibly cosy, particularly the log burner which had been lit prior to our arrival. The owners were extremely friendly, and took pains to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. The location itself is wonderful too - plenty of bracing wintRead moreer walks along the coast and countryside, and some superb pubs nearby (can very highly recommend the Fox Inn at Newbourne). Though to be honest, we spent most our time in the snug playing board games, reading, and listening to music. We're hoping to find time in the summer to return, as the veranda and garden look like perfect spaces to while away a lazy afternoon. Couldn't recommend highly enough - this was a real find that we'll certainly be returning to! Hide

This cottage is probably better than the photos project. There's been excellent thought to every detail of comfort and ease of use. It provides every need and a little more. Loved the additional lounge room and the outside terrace. The shower was superb and easy to use, the bedroom was comfortable with really good storage. The cooker was user frienRead moredly (helped by the fact it's the same as ours!). The extensive garden provides a nice area to wander. Nearby there's a friendly Hand in Hand pub serving excellent beer, the Sausage Shop further on has amazing pies and the other pub The Mariners provided us with a lovely meal on the first night. We didn't make best use of the immediate area and had fabulous days at Southwold, Adleburgh and Framingham. Hide
