A very comfortable, warm home which was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Great location for exploring the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect location as it is quiet, but with easy access to Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Southwold. Friendly and welcoming pub close by too. Wouldnt hesitate to recommend Little Chequers.

Beautiful clean cottage with excellent heating. Even on quite a cool week it was always lovely and warm going in. The new sofas are very comfortable and the bed is excellent with a very good quality mattress and topper.
