Cottage is cozy.Coal fire place in front room.Kitchen area is small but enough for what you need.The garden is not enclosed so you can't let your dogs off in it BUT there is an enclosed field 30sec walk up the driveway that you can let your dogs off so in real terms the garden for the property isn't much of an issue.Owner is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. A lovely little place to stay if you want to be off the beaten track while also being no more than 5min drive from town/ village.

Cottage has all that you want and if you need internet & wi-figo to Eye Library in the mornings until 1pm they are very helpful.Good location for exploring,- the carved woodwork in many churchesis outstanding.We will return next year.

A really lovely, relaxing week’s holiday. Oak Lawn Cottage is a hidden gem, at the end of a long driveway, isolated and peaceful. Though it lacks some of the more modern amenities (WiFi and some electrical kitchen equipment), this in no way impinges on the tranquility and restfulness of the cottage, if what you want is a real break from the hurly burly. We wanted that, and that’s what we found. The area is lovely. Eye is a pretty town, and it’s easy to drive to Norwich, Diss, Southwold and the rest of the Suffolk coast. We also spent a fascinating few hours at the (free!) 100th Bomb Group Museum, about 25 minutes’ drive away. All in all, a really great break. A big thank you to our hostess, Jean, who made us most welcome.
