St. Osyth

"Small, yet perfectly formed - the cottage is well set-up and has a lovely homely feel. Very clean with all the essentials provided - even enough provisions for a nice breakfast. Only stayed 2 nights as we were attending a wedding at St Osyth's Priory - which is walking distance. Would loved to have stayed longer. Hottest day of the year but hosts had provided large fans which were much appreciated. The beautiful and private garden was a welcome surprise."
