Six nights at Rubblestone Cottage

The cottage is very clean, tidy and cosy, it was perfect for our needs. The garden is beautiful and I loved an early morning coffee outside with the moorhens. Our host, Caroline was friendly and very helpful, her parents at the main house were great too! I would definitely recommend staying here, the peace and quiet is wonderful, I'd hope to visit again.

A delightful return to East Suffolk

In our brief visit we enjoyed two concerts at Snape Maltings, visits to Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, and Orford for a wonderful fish lunch at Pinney's.Rubblestone Cottage was an ideal base and everything possible seemed to have been thought of to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.
