    “Wonderful location and should have been a peaceful week.”

    Unfortunately the cottage had a significant problem with the plumbing causing ‘water hammer’. This meant that when either toilet was flushed and the bath and shower used, there was a loud and constant noise throughout the cottage from the kitchen taps which could only be remedied by fiddling with the taps. This was very inconvenient during the day. At night we adopted a ‘no flush’ policy, which was really not ideal as we were sharing with friends. Even then, on two nights the water ...

    Unfortunately the cottage had a significant problem with the plumbing causing ‘water hammer’. This meant that when either toilet was flushed and the bath and shower used, there was a loud and constant noise throughout the cottage from the kitchen taps which could only be remedied by fiddling with the taps. This was very inconvenient during the day. At night we adopted a ‘no flush’ policy, which was really not ideal as we were sharing with friends. Even then, on two nights the water hammer started seemingly spontaneously. On one of the nights it happened five times, meaning a very disturbed night up and down stairs to kitchen to get rid of noise. Rosemary was aware of the problem and had had a plumber in before our occupation to try to remedy the problem to no avail. We do feel that some recompense for this exceptional inconvenience should be forthcoming.

About the location

FRAMLINGHAM

Saxmundham 7.5 miles; Aldeburgh 14 miles; Southwold 20 miles

The beautiful market town of Framlingham is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) and has been known since Anglo Saxon times, when it consisted of several manors which William the Conqueror (1066-1087) presented to Roger Bigod. The town is of particular interest as it has a large castle and mere which was built between 1190 and 1210. The town is surrounded by lovely villages to explore and has two of the oldest working post boxes and one of Britain’s smallest houses, with the footprint measuring 6.1x2.2m! Today, the town offers a number of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants and it is also home to Framlingham Summer Arts Festival.

Note: Use of outside swimming pool and tennis court by arrangement with the owner from May 1 to September 30.
