Lovely relaxed holiday. The house was very oldy weirdly with added updates with the shower. Just what we wanted. Lots of room and we didn't need to use the annex. The village is lovely, went on the boating lake and carriage ride, my grand daughter loved it. Only 5 mins from Aldeburgh in the car and easy to travel to Southwold etc.. we previously stopped at Wabkeswick so knew where we wanted to stay and were recommended by a friend who also has a house on Suffolk .
