It is located 31 km from Hedingham Castle and provides full-day security. The bed and breakfast offers garden views, a picnic area, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available. Me and my daughter had a very lovely Christmas stay here. At first, my daughter didn't like the idea of living a away from town centre, but in the end, it was really worth it. Ms Barrett and her family treated us with so much hospitality and kindness, just like family. The interior of room is very lovely, and all furniture is in a perfect state; there even was electric blanket for us to feel comfortable. There were free breakfasts included, made by the owners themselves, as well as tea or coffee breaks - they were followed by very delicious special treats! It wasn't just hotel staying, it was living in a loving family, which we will remember and try to visit again!
