We loved this place so much we came back for a second stay within a few months. Nikki and Mike were very welcoming and the cottage was again clean, homely and peaceful - we loved just listening to the birds every morning.

Very peaceful and quiet. Extremely clean. Great location. Extremely well equipped. Hosts very friendly, helpful, kind and considerate. Hosts take great pride in getting things right and going the extra mile.

Nikki and Mike have created a wonderful retreat. First impressions were of a peaceful, beautifully decorated tiny cottage, in a quiet location, with lots of birds in the pretty and secluded back garden. Our holiday was started in style with a delicious welcome pack, and there are a bunch of nearby shops and supermarkets to stock up from. There are plenty of walks from the house, and just a short drive each to Southwold and Beccles, for lovely beaches and great river walks and boat hire. Just a little further away is Norwich with lovely shops and restaurants and an amazing cathedral. Lots of guide books and brochures plus maps will give you inspiration for your stay. The accommodation has all you'll need for a stay, everything is thought of, with lovely sheets and pillows and a super comfy bed. The underfloor hearing was terrific. We didn't use the log burner, but when we come back in winter it'll get lit! We felt very welcome, a bit spoiled, and very lucky to have found this gem.
