a weeks holiday

We hired a cottage in Suffolk to explore the surrounding area during our short stay in October. We had hired the cottage on an internet site and it was a wonderful place to stay. The cottage was well equipped and the owner had included little extras which made us feel so welcome - a real home from home.

A lovely area of England and already your fish & chips on the beach tip is making me hungry! You must have also really enjoyed your personal tour of the Red House, that does not often happen.
