The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and offers entertainment options. However, an outdated TV and overgrown vegetation suggest some areas could benefit from updates and maintenance.

Dove Cottage is a real home from home. It is spacious and comfortable with top quality linens, beds and kitchen equipment. It's extremely dog friendly and has a small but secure garden. The surrounding dog walks are excellent: you can walk to the Millenium Park or drive to Southwold and enjoy the beach. The cottage is close to the shops and local eateries. Janet and Brian are lovely, considerate hosts too. We'll definitely be returning.
