2. Wayside Cottage Vacation Home

Wayside Cottage Vacation Home
St. Osyth
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (52 reviews)
"Wayside cottage is absolutely lovely. Suzanne and John have thought of everything you could possibly need from comfy beds to an abundance of fluffy towels to treats like a bottle of chilled wine, orange juice, bread for breakfast, cereals, milk, biscuits and even sweeties. The cottage was spotless and there was plenty of room for four adults. There is even a lovely, secluded garden. I can't recommend Wayside cottage highly enough and I hope that we will be able to stay again next time we are in...
