This is the most gorgeous little cottage in the middle of nowhere but actually quite close to the Suffolk Coast and Snape. It looks as though it had recently been refurbished and is very well appointed in the kitchen. We loved our stay here and enjoyed the area so much. Its one of the best small holiday cottages we have stayed in for a long time. Read moreVery restful and super cute. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely and the whole place had a lovely feel about it. We will certainly be going here again. Hide
