Very comfortable house.

I think the words, "shabby chic" apply here. Although nothing too shabby, the fabrics in the blinds are lovely, I think its the wood floors that give it this look. The berooms are lovely and comfortable, although the electric shower in the downstairs suite was a bit poor on power. The lounge accommodated our family group of 7 well, with comfy chairs and settee. The garden is small, just adequate for older children really, theres a drop and a wall, which might make it difficult for toddlers, but nice views over village green and boating lake. Its in a good position for activities beach, boating and mini golf. Kitchen is well equipped. Our stay here worked very well.

Weekend stay

Perfect location, nice views from most of the bedrooms. Character features. Good bathrooms. Oven quite small if cooking for a large group, but we would stay again.

Birthday weekend

Had a lovely couple of days with friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays. The sanctuary was perfect for what we needed. Very clean and comfortable, plenty of room for us all. We were very lucky with the weather so enjoyed sitting in the garden looking at the lovely view over the Meare. Dolphin inn was a handy few minutes walk and we enjoyed walking around the village. The beach is a very short walk and we had a lovely walk along the coast to Aldeburgh.
