`A beautiful and quiet retreat'

This little place is absolutely lovely , super clean and cosy, I would recommend to anyone, the host was very friendly and helpful, the area is very quiet and remote with a few interesting walks, there is a very well equipped village shop and PO which shuts about 6pm however the little village where we stayed (Bradwell) let the owner down in many ways , we got showered and ready after a day of walking only to find all three village pubs shut, this would be about 9pm and according to the landlord of one of the pubs they look down the street and if no ones around they shut the doors and close, we found ourselves driving six miles to the village of Tillingham where we found a lovely welcome in the Fox and Hounds, if you're not bothered by the pub at 9pm then this wont bother you but for us it was a big disapointment
