"Wild Bryony Cottage was a delightful cottage in which to stay. It had all that we needed and was well situated to visit all parts of Suffolk. It is in a quiet hamlet but not far from the nearest village and town where there were all the necessary shops and places to eat. All the local places had pubs which provided good food, and the local pub in the nearest village was a friendly place to stop and have something to eat, and served real ales. The local store sold locally baked bread delivered daily. The cottage was very clean with no obvious signs of dogs having stayed there. Fresh flowers were on the table along with a bottle of wine and a welcoming message, and tea and coffee were provided along with fresh milk in the fridge. The kitchen was tiny but had everything necessary for preparing and cooking meals as well as cutlery and plenty of crockery. The one thing I missed was having a dressing table in the bedroom which was spacious so there was room for one. We could hear the neighbours in the bedroom but only faintly, and a dog barked for about 1/2 hr every morning but then settled and was quiet. A place where we would happily return to."
