The property was spotless we really enjoyed our stay however the proximity to the main A12 was not what we expected with lots of traffic noise.The interior of the cottage was exceptional but the outside was tired.Also no BBQ

Mill Cottage was beautifully presented with the cleanliness being outstanding. The garden was a lovely place in which to sit and relax and we were very lucky wigh the weather. It is situated close to both Aldeburgh and Southwold with lots of other great places to visit not too far away.
