The garden was not overlooked so great when you want to sit out and secure with the dog. We paid quite a bit. Welcome essential provisions would have been a nice touch. It was so great to have fans in each room in the yea though. Thank you

A lovely house that has everything you need. Spotlessly clean, warm and cozy, comfy beds/pillows, great shower with plenty of hot water, very well equipped kitchen and a totally secure garden for the dogs. Highly recommended.

Clean comfortable. Was hoping for maybe a small amount of coffee or tea to be available. But all other things were there for my stay. Thanks.

Truly excellent. These people have though this through. Couldn’t think of a single thing that wasn’t already in place.

We (2 x couple) had a great couple of days in the house. It is well maintained and clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. The location was great for us - easy to get in and out without getting tangle in the traffic in town. Space for two good size cars able to safely store our bikes down the side of the house. Easy walk down to the beach and up to Thorpeness via the footpaths and a short 15 minute walk into town for meals etc. With Tesco and Coop at end of road, even shopping or charging EV is easy. Beds very comfortable, plenty of space in the lounge and a nice space to sit or eat in the garden. We'll be back!
