We loved The Old Dairy! It was clean and comfortable, and spacious for the two of us. Always plenty of hot water for showers or washing, and a selection of books, games, and tourist info leaflets. The cottage is tucked away at the end of a narrow lane, so it was very quiet but still has easy access to pretty villages and coastal resorts of SouthwolRead mored and Aldeburgh. Birdwatchers will enjoy Minsmere Nature reserve, and astronomers will enjoy the lack of light pollution in the spacious garden. Hide

Very peaceful location at the end of a long lane. Property is so well insulated that you only need to have the heating on for brief periods. The owners are friendly and helpful. A very short distance from the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary at Stonham Barns which is a wonderful place to visit. So many great destinations not too far by car.
