Lovely little cottage. Very clean & comfortable, containing everything you might need. One slight caveat - description states parking room for two small cars. The cars would need to be very small indeed to fit in and be able to close the gates, which is needed to make the garden fully enclosed & escape proof for dogs.

Shower door didnt shut properly and I emailed the first evening but no response. Hot water in the shower went off on second day Pillows were low quality and 2 single beds pushed together with different mattresses was odd and uncomfortable Odd in my experience to have to strip sheets and put in a bin for collection. Felt like a older persons hRead moreome or second home with numerous rules eg dont touch thermostat which should always be 25-30 but was on 20 Hide

Original Cottages was not the name of the organisation I finally booked with as the transaction wouldn't go through - hence the 0 to the last question.

The house has Whitewalls plastered in the sides so you really can't miss it (I don't mean in a bad way) Very snug cottage, Just off a main road, I am used to living near a main road so I didn't really hear the traffic myself. Wth Snape Maltings just up the road and a tescos and asda I believe in Saxmundham and a petrol station just up the road Read moreit was the perfect base point. Aldeburgh is 20 minutes away and I woild highly reccomend going to a sweet tearooms in Dunwich called Dingle Hill. It's a beautiful place, which a little beach that you just wouldn't think to there in such a sqaint little village. It has a museam and a beautiful pub along with Grey Friars Medieval Friary Ruins. Going back to the house. 1 Pub directly opposite (The Crown), the other a 2 minute walk round the corner (The Golden Key) also has a bottle bank at the back. Garden is completely enclosed, but if you have a dog that enjoys clearing a 4/5ft wall, you may have a problem. Thankfully although mine can, they didn't see it as a challenge. The garden is a good size for two dogs of any size. I stayed with my Kelpie and Mini Poodle for a visual. I came with my mum and my grandmother joined us later in the evening. You would probably be able to fit two small cars and still close the gates. For us on the other hand, we have one small car (Ford focus) and an estate. So we closed the gates into the end of the car and again, my dogs thankfully didn't see it as a challenge. The only negative for us was: The cottage WiFi isn't great, so if you had planned on using the Internet best hope you have good 4/5G. Its alright if you are in the living room where the WiFi is but anywhere else in the house, I can only wish you the best of luck. We were able to connect all our Internet using devices, but upstairs was definetly a no go and would quickly switch them over to mobile data. The house is well equipt in the kitchen, pots and pans, oven mits, tea towels etc. I would reccomend bringing your own fly swat if you are staying in the summer you will need one and maybe your own scrubbing sponge for washing up as you are only offered one, other than that, the most equipt house we have stayed in. We stayed during the 2022 heat wave week reaching 40 and the house kept our two dogs nice a cool through it due to the stone flooring, the kitchen has a sliding door to block them off if you want to, which we did as the door leading from the kitchen to the garden have no blinds so it got quite hot in the kitchen along with us cooking lunch. There is a dog stair gate barrier at the stairs so easy to block the dogs off from there. For dog walking; (if you want a walk close to home hue first night) if you exit the cottage and take a right after 4 - 5 houses, turn right again and you can walk around that field. For us a tractor sat in the field and was a good indicator we had reached the correct point - I was told about this via speaking to a neighbour opposite, a lovely Swedish lady. The second walk is turning left and crossing the road, walking down it until you see the footpath sign on the right, from there you can walk down, reaching the bottom, and either walk to Aldeburgh or walk to Snape Warren, a beautiful woods and incredibly peaceful, there are live stock fields filled with horses, sheep and cows so please be mindful if you are walking with dogs. This walk if you choose to keep going will also walk you to ending up at Snape Maltings, you can also do the walk back to front and start at The Maltings. A third is turning left and walking up the hill to the top and turning right, you will see a footpath sign, it is a quiet road and at the end there is a little woods, I didn't venture past the woods and behind the tiny woods is a road. My dogs don't leave my sight and wonder off but for other owners I would warn just be cautious. There are other footpaths dotted around, there are quite a few along the road heading up the hill and onwards and another foot path on the right just before Snape Maltings, I didn't get to go up the other ones. But I hope the few I have mentioned will help people. I hope you enjoy Whitewalls as much as we did. Hide
