Clean, Comfortable & Convenient

We had a fantastic stay! Communication with Neil was excellent from the start—super responsive and helpful. The house itself was spotless—immaculately clean, tidy, and incredibly well-equipped, which made our stay so relaxing and enjoyable. Honestly, the photos don’t do it justice—it’s even better in real life. Added bonus: it’s within easy walking distance to the Dunwich shops. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
