The cottage was spacious and cosy, with plenty of hot water, and had super comfy beds and pillows. The conservatory was bright and warm and a lovely place to have breakfast. The private parking space was close. As for the situation, Friston and the village pub are delightful. The walk to the wonderful 13th century church was through a field of Read morepoppies! An evening stroll to the Old Windmill was a must! We also took in Snape, Framlingham, Aldeburgh, Minsmere and more ... we had a great week in Suffolk. Hide

One of the best cottages we've stayed at - and we stay at a lot during the year.

The food from the Chequers was good, the property is quiet with excellent access to Saxmundham, Wonderful beach walks at Dunwich, not so good for Aldeburgh because of the steep shingle banks, household shopping excellent at the East of England Coop situated on the approach to Aldeburgh.

This property is obviously given a superficial clean between guests but isn't cleaned properly. We found dark hair on the mattress cover when stripping the double bed , the oven was greasy and as was the oven pan . This is the 4th cottage my friend and I have rented since losing our husbands and by far the least clean .
