8/10 Good

Wonderful location

Property is beautifully equipped and presented. The kitchen in particular had everything you would hope for. Comfortable seating in lounge and good lighting. Spotlessly clean. Location is very quiet even though it is on a working farm. Well placed for access to Suffolk and Essex. Would be really helpful to receive an inventory as lots of items I took with me were provided (hairdryers, tea towels) and the provision of eggs, bread and milk was wonderful - but I had taken them as I didn't know they would be left for us!
