Property was clean and cosy. It would have scored ‘excellent’ if there had been a welcome pack that included at the very least a pint of milk and small loaf of bread. There were also no staples such as time foil or cling film.
Lovely stay in the Hayloft, spacious and nicely situated with great views. The new owners are going to improve the properties which is probably needed but not essential.
Our first time staying in Suffolk and it is well worth a visit. Lovely area and many nice places to visit. Little disappointed with the cleanliness of the kitchen ware and the bathroom (black mould around the shower) but otherwise a great base to visit Aldeborough and Southwold - and we had a great recommendation for the Plough and Sail pub in Snape - excellent!
