Set in a stunning location on the edge of the village, near the owners home. This unique cottage is very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. It`s quirky and very cosy and an ideal getaway for two people. The village has every thing you need. The upstairs toilet was a bonus. A decent sized shower room, with plenty of hot water and lovelyRead more towels.. The owners, Kevin and Lynn, were so friendly, asking if we had everything we needed... That means a lot to us. The countryside is beautiful, with lots of places to visit. Many country pubs serving great food and beer..! We shall be back............. Hide

This is a lovely, quirky cottage. The area is lovely and the owners are very friendly and welcoming. The equipment supplied covers all eventualities, in fact, I don't think there is anything that has not been covered. The welcome pack supplied by the owners was a lovely surprise. We had a great time here and would certainly consider returning.

A beautiful and unique property, in a great location and centre for exploring a wide area of the coast and countryside. A very private hide-away, but the owners were on hand should anything be needed. Shops for essentials were also just a ten minute walk away. My favourite nearby location was Woodbridge (5 miles away) where there was plenty to sRead moreee and do, and a wonderful river-side walk to get away from everything (bird-watching excellent especially at low tide). Recommended without reservation. Hide
