Me and my family had a lovely stay recently. The accommodation had a great amount of facilities and was equipped very well . The location is spot on with everything you’d like to do and see not being far away at all. Especially Southwold. The village itself is nice and quiet. Also a lovely beach not too far away down the road . Finally the Chinese right next door is definitely a bonus and I highly recommend it. If available we will 100% stay here again when we visit the family as we do often .
plenty of room for us with our little one. thankyou
Nice stay. Garden room very nice and ideal if you have extra guests.
Perfect Suffolk retreat - we loved it and would love to stay again in the future
This is a very nicely refurbished building with a lovely secluded garden and annex. The kitchen contains everything that you will need and the lounge is a nice place to sit at night. Beds and bathroom were comfortable and clean. The area is perfect for exploring the Suffolk coast and we spent a lovely day in Southwold one day and walked the dog to Covehithe beach and back the other. There are two decent pubs within 10 minutes walking distance. We didn't meet the hosts but their communication was excellent and there ere no problems with checking in and enjoying our stay. Would Definately recommend.
We had a lovely time enjoyed outside space. Kitchen was well equipped. Lovely area
Had to go to Suffolk for work and we had our dog with us. Perfect location and amenities for us. Enjoyed our stay
Lovely place to stay great location highly recommend will defiantly be returning
Really cute barn, fire place in the annex was a lovely touch especially on a cold June evening , really cosy stay would definitely visit again

Accommodation great v clean well equipped, garden needs some attention and maybe should say the property is behind a Chinese takeaway with lots of activity with collections and noise from extractor fan. Otherwise we had a lovely time
