Brook Cottage was ideal for our family group's holiday: an idyllic and peaceful location in the Suffolk countryside yet well-placed to explore the surrounding villages and diverse attractions along the coast, from nature walks and cultural experiences to local shopping and fish and chips on the beach. The farmhouse was beautifully decorated, spaciRead moreous and comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen/dinner allowing us to prepare family meals and enjoy the delicious local produce. We were able to keep ourselves amply entertained indoors with copious reading material and board games as well as enjoying time outdoors in the beautiful garden and a rather lovely swimming pool which proved a favourite amongst our party. Many thanks for a wonderful home-from-home stay. Hide

This is a fabulous house in the middle of the beautiful Suffolk countryside but still convenient for Southwold, Aldeburgh and other lovely places. For three generations of our family it was ideal - we all loved having the heated swimming pool and the very beautiful, extensive and well kept gardens. The house is exceptionally well furnished and equiRead morepped and we were able to enjoy family meals outdoors in the sunshine - it was great to be able to use herbs and seasonal produce from the garden in our cooking. Highly recommended. Hide
