Great Location and a nice house which to relax in, the parking spot at the back of the house is a godsend and can be used for 2 cars with one parked across the bay... Reasonably appointed, comfortable beds, dining kitchen which will easily sit 10. The garden is quite large at the back and the front garden overlooks the Common and is great for sitRead moreting in watching the sun set with a glass of wine etc. This house is quite handy for the high street and the shop/ restaurants etc being only 5 minutes away, but is a reasonable walk to Gun Hill 20 mins or so... Most things needed in a holiday let are covered but we couldn't get the Sonus music streaming system to work off any of our iPhones but might just be us ! This is our 4th time in Forest lodge so that should say a lot ... Hide

We absolutely loved the house. It was airy and light. All the beds were really comfortable. House very well equipped indeed (we particularly liked the massive selection of books to read). In fact, it was such a great house that we have already booked it again for next year. Best we have ever stayed at through Suffolk Secrets
