Late booking and a good one! Lovely quiet rural setting with loads of local dog walks direct from the cottage. Warm welcome from Linda on arrival and topped off with a welcome of chocolates and wine! Good location for trips to Southwold, Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo and Dunwich Heath. Plenty within 20 odd miles to occupy anyone for the week.
