The cottage was lovely for our last minute staycation.

The cottage was lovely for our last minute staycation. Trevor was easy to communicate with regarding arrival times and very accommodating. It’s compact but we knew this when we booked and had everything we needed in a small space for a weeks break. It was easy to get to the beaches of Essex and into the Suffolk countryside and we enjoyed exploring. The only slight negative was that for a village location the road outside is very busy and quite noisy but it didn’t spoil the holiday. You just need to be aware if you are taking a child as we did (10 year old) to keep them safe. It would have been nice to have abit more outside space but again we knew what we were getting and the bench outside is good to sit with a glass wine. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
