Step inside this cosy little single-story home, which has all you could possibly need for your stay. The open-plan living, kitchen and dining room offers a place to relax where you can enjoy time together under the exposed timber beams which add a touch of charm and character. Settle on the comfortable sofa and watch the Smart TV which has streaming services, or cook together in the well-fitted kitchen. When your meal is ready, move over to the semi-circle dining table and share your creations. As eyelids begin to droop, head to the cosy double bedroom which has an en-suite wet room with a shower. Outside, make a wish in the wishing well where you also have access to the large, shared courtyard with a private bistro table and chairs, perfect for basking in the golden hour sunshine with a tipple or two!

Your car has a parking space but not near your front door infact you have to walk all around the building to get to your front door. Not helpful if you are elderly or at all unsteady enough to need to use a walking stick. It would have been helpful to know this prior to making a booking.

The sutuation of the cottage is good for exploring suffolk. If you had to stay in for any length of time because of bad weather it could do with a bit more comfort.

Local pub in the village was very friendly and the meals were very good. However, it took us a good 20 mins to walk. The pavement was alongside a busy road and is not recommended. Plenty of parking near the pub.
