We've thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Greenacres is just lovely, and in a perfect spot. We had breakfast on our private patio most days. We were able to explore many of the beaches (all within 20-30mins) as well as Sutton Hoo and Orford Castle. Walking along the river to Snape Maltings (30mins - definitely worth a visit) is so handy and beautiful. ARead morell in all, a wonderful week! Hide
