Quiet and comfy stay.in wonderful countryside
We spent a lovely, sunny week in this characterful converted granary with our 22 month old grandson (we took our own baby equipment as not provided). It was so quiet and comfy. It is very well equipped with everything you might need - only thing we could've wished for was a fan but that was only due to the 30 degree temperature and how often do we get that!). Our grandson loved running round in the enclosed garden and visiting the cows nearby and the smart tv was appreciated at times for toddler entertainment at 5am starts! Such beautiful countryside / villages everywhere to see and ideally located to visit both Suffolk and Essex places from here which we certainly did each day. Plenty of pubs / restaurants to suit all budgets in nearby villages which are all a short drive away. A week was not enough time to fit everything in. We would recommend a stay here.
