The Experience

Seductively near RSPB Minsmere, medieval castles and the glorious Heritage coast. The evening sun pours into the back of this contemporary cottage with butter yellow walls; you are on the edge of the village so all is quiet with an orchard behind and a bird-filled garden for tea and cake. No sitting room, but easy chairs in your pretty bedroom face views. Caroline is a good cook and breakfast is delicious (try her kedgeree and homemade jams). Snape Maltings for music, Southwold for the famous pier, Aldeburgh with its shingle beach, boats, fun shops and good places to eat – all are close by. Holly the labrador adds to the charm.

Reviews

Patrice & Brian, Langport

We can thoroughly recommend this delightful B & B, Caroline was such a lovely hostess & couldn't have done more to make our stay comfortable, relaxing & enjoyable. Sitting in her beautiful cottage garden was heavenly. Her breakfasts were delicious & very varied with lots of home made treats. Our room, with a garden view, was so comfortable that we didn't want to leave. Brian & Patrice

Caroline was really welcoming. She went to great lengths to meet our dietary requirements and we were hugely grateful for this. She made our stay a truly happy one. Thank you Caroline!


Alison

Caroline is a charming host, she made us feel so welcome and we appreciated the home made cake and tea on arrival. The room was spotless and very comfortable and one of the best breakfasts we have had in a B&B. Such a quiet and convenient location to explore Suffolk, would thoroughly recommend.
