  Here for a weekend away. Having not been to Suffolk before we very much enjoyed exploring all the beautiful villages and coastline. Excellent pubs to note (aside from the lovely Kersey Bell) are The Greyhound in Lavenham and it's sister The Ram in Hadleigh. Also The Coast and Sail in Snape is worth a visit. Lovely Cottage. Will visit again. Emma & Steve.

  Water Cottage is so welcoming and wonderfully equipped. A wonderful ‘home from home’! Everything we needed was provided + more! You can arrive here at Water Cottage and get straight on with enjoying your break. Have been to other places where I needed to go out and but the simple things as salt, pepper, washing up liquid etc. Simple but makes a difference. Bedding and towels beautiful and beds so comfy!
