Martlet Cottage was excellent- spacious, well equipped and beautifully decorated and maintained. The beds were super comfortable, we felt right at home! Easy parking right by your door. We will return!
A well presented and equipped house with easy parking. Comfortable, nice garden which would be a sun trap in the summer - we were lucky with the weather and were able to eat lunch out there in the second part of the week. A warm house, tho cooler at the beginning of the week - the heating didn't seem automatically to come on, but it was easy to override. 15-20 minute walk to the town, which was fine, and interesting walks from the back of the property towards Thorpeness. A good base, and a good week..
