Lovely area. A little close to the road. Lovely walks along the Deben. Easy to walk to local pubs and into Woodbridge, so car free days.Easy to access the coast.It was difficult to licate the property at dusk. Fortunately a neighbour was in and directed me."First property on the left , amost immediately after 40mph sign. " - would have been more useful than "pat way up the hill.Also, main house is straight ahead - turn right almost immediately to find the coach house.There are sighns, but neither are easy to see in the dark.

The coach house was in a lovely location, and had very friendly owners. The house itself is in need of a little attention. It was not very clean and was missing a few items that we could have done with. There was no welcome booklet, so we did not know what to do with the recycling (all areas are different) and there were no details for emergency numbers, ie local hospital, doctors. No details about where to eat or local shops.
