    “Very comfortable cottage, with well equipped kitchen.”

    Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Lovely walk in shower. Garden is very nice to sit out in. Only downside was the underfloor heating took a very long time to warm the place up on our first day - it would've been nice if the heating could have been put on a bit higher earlier for us as it was a visit in cold February. However, electric fan heater we found in a cupboard came in useful and the duvets on the beds were very cosy. This is in a good location, easy to visit places ...

This is in a good location, easy to visit places like Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge, RSPB Minsmere, Southwold, etc.

    Dear Sue, Thank you so much for your feedback and we're happy you found the cottage clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We're so sorry to hear it wasn't warm enough for you when you arrived, we do ensure the UFH is on well in advance of guests coming in cold weather so we shall look into this and do apologise. We're pleased you enjoyed our local sites and seaside and sampled some good local food! We hope that you will come back again sometime. Property Owner
