Knodishall certainly isn't a "picture box" village - but it is close to several lovely places, e.g. Aldburgh, Thorpness, Southwold, Snape, etc. So, it was convenient for visiting local places. The cottage was nicely presented and adequate for 4 people (5 couples). Our friends were even able to bring their dog, which was good. The fact that there were NO blinds in the central kitchen area, meant that this got VERY hot - even leaving the 2 large Velux windows open. The whole cottage tended to get hot - although we were there in a heatwave! Maybe, the wooded exterior cladding kept the heat in. At least we were able to close the curtains/blinds in the 2 bedrooms and lounge, while we were out during the day, which did help to keep them cooler. There were tea, coffee, sugar caddies in the kitchen - but they were all empty - as was the fridge. It is quite common now to have a welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk - even, sometimes some cake or biscuits - which would have been very welcome, especially after a long, hot journey. Other things lacking were:- (1) shaver points in either ensuite, to re-charge shavers and toothbrushes (both very common now): (2) the 'ordinary' (old-fashioned) electric hob was SO SLOW, after being used to an induction hob - which are SO MUCH faster and more efficient - thus saving time - and energy/electricity; (3) a VERY big step up into the shower cubicle for my wife, who is partly disabled. We have low profile shower trays, which are only about 2 inches high and easy to step over. Overall, We enjoyed our week and were able to visit several lovely places nearby. Just a few improvements to the cottage would have made it even more enjoyable. Eric and Hilary Freeman.
