Great location. Very comfortable stay. Plenty of room for a family of 5. Handy for Aldeburgh and Thorpeness. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back.

The Whins worked perfectly for the four of us. The master bedroom is lovely and the whole place was light and airy and there is plenty of seating in different areas. The location is very good. The local town of Leiston has plenty of shops for the necessary food etc. including a butchers and a bakery. Lots of intersting places are within half an hour - Minsmere, Dunwich Heath, Aldeburgh and Orford are examples.

Perfect location for exploring the Suffolk coast! The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we felt we had plenty of space. The garden is beautiful and as we had lovely weather we were able to sit out and enjoy it!

We had a wonderful stay with our family and pet dog. The bungalow is clean, tidy and the garden was like a little secret gem. Kids loved playing hide and seek at dusk. The board games were such a nice added extra too. Kitchen had everything you'd need. Definitely recommend.

Stairs were hard to get up to the bedroom and I was concerned as I am quite heavy. Maybe worth noting.
