"Thank you for another great stay - always such a beautiful relaxing experience, this barn never changes, always immaculate - Thank you! Steve our Labrador loved learning his new trick - bouncing his ball down the steps in the garden!"
"Fabulous week weather wise in a brilliant 5* house, well equipped with everything you need. Lovely trips to Aldeburgh, Southwold are a must. Adnams Kitchen and cellar in Southwold not to be missed. Pump Street Bakery amazing for food and two nights at the Crown & Castle left little time to cook. Pinneys and the meat shed well worth a visit. A day with a picnic on Orfordness will be a great day out."
