The separate dining room creates a great backdrop to any celebratory meal with contemporary table and chairs to seat all. Catering for all is no problem, as the kitchen is well-equipped with everything needed to cook up any banquet with electric oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and to help with the dishes after, a handy dishwasher. The kitchen also features a table and chairs for a less formal spot to eat. The utility room provides a second fridge, washing machine and a tumble dryer. A sun room provides access to and from the pool and has table football to help with any downtime entertainment or to provide a break from the sun. Moving through to the bedrooms, guests will find flexible sleeping options with the master king size room with doors leading onto the patio area and having an en suite bathroom, the other king size bedroom has an en suite shower room. There are a further two twin bedrooms one with smart  TV, a double bedroom with doors opening onto the patio area.  Completing the accommodation is a shower room with an invigorating shower followed by nice warm towels from the heated rail and WC, and a separate WC.

Occupying a corner location, the large garden surrounds the bungalow on all sides with a lawn area for children to run off any excess energy. Guests are likely to spend much time during the warmer months around the patio and swimming pool, which is heated and available from May to October.

We've just returned from a lovely stay at Monterey . There was plenty of room for the three couple plus one single. The swimming pool was used every day and warm enough even on cloudy days . Its position was good for visiting lots of attractive places in Suffolk. Altogether a good holiday .

Extremely spacious property with everything provided including a welcome pack. Bungalow was much bigger than it looked in the photos. Nice walk into town via the river takes about 45 minutes but worth the effort. Pool looked a nice size but obviously not in use in December.

The layout and setting of the property were excellent. We had family and friends staying with ages from 11 to 75 with no difficulty. It is very well equipped and the heated pool really is the icing on the cake.

Amazing property. Very roomy, lovely garden. Pool was used daily in the warm weather! Beds were too firm (in our opinion) but was the only negative in which was a great family holiday enjoyed by all.

We were surprised at how roomy the bungalow was but pleasingly cool despite the temperature outside reaching 33C. The pool was a good size and well used by all especially the youngest. The beds were comfortable it it was nice to have decent quality soap dispensers in each bathroom and the kitchen. The neighbourhood was quiet and the grounds spaciouRead mores and there were pleasant walks nearby. It took less than half an hour to walk to Woodbridge, a delightful town, along the estuary. Hide

Lovely place with everything you could need. Having toddler cutlery available was a huge benefit and one that was unexpected. Lots of games and pool entertainment available, we stayed early May and the pool was already lovely and warm for swims. Fabulous quiet location but with easy access to the village and good road links to the surrounding area.
