We rented all three cottages for a big family celebration, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Rooms are spacious and comfortable (thankful for the fans it was hot) We had everything that we could possibly have needed for cooking, washing and drying clothes. We made good use of the hot tub and the large green area outside. Lots to do in the beautifRead moreul surrounding areas. Hide

Things we loved = the hot tub, the location was good. Easy access to Saxmundham for supermarkets etc. Close to Aldeburgh and Southwold etc. The Christmas Barn was nice for a wander. Good quality towels, comfy beds. Dishwasher tabs, tea towel, washing up liquid and scourer/dish cloth provided.
