We also provide a BBQ, if you do use it could you please leave clean for the next guests.

There is a herb garden which, depending on the season, will add some fresh flavours to your cooking.

Facilities

Water softener - Softened water is used through out the house except for the drinking water tap in the kitchen providing filtered water.

Fireplace - This is a ‘Baxi’ working fire place, with venting system, the less venting, the less coal you will get through, we really love using it in winter as it provides a lovely atmosphere and heat, but please use your common sense, we provide a fire guard and it's best if this is used at all times.

We provide a 20kg bag of coal for your stay, if you would like any additional bags at £10 pounds each please let us know. You can also buy coal bags, wood and kindling at the petrol station at Wangford, this is on the A12 on the way to Lowestoft.

Central heating - Oil fired. The house is very well insulated with double glazing throughout and so requires little heating, In summer the heating is unnecessary, so the hot water runs from the electric immersion tank.

Cleaning - Lisa and her team at Spindlewood Cleaning Services make sure the house is in tip top condition, they will come in on change-over day and clean the house from top to bottom. They change the linen and towels and make sure there are starter packs of dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, and loo roll.

Linen - 100% Egyptian cotton in pure white to keep things simple, all the duvets and pillows are new and anti-allergy.

Internet access via WIFI - Free WIFI internet access on broad band.
