Very good location that was a close walk (5-10min even with a young child) to town but far enough away to be pretty quiet. It was also a short drive to Suffolk Barn where our friend was getting married. Alice’s home was very nice with great amenities and cute outdoor space that was quiet and private. The home was visibly clean and smelled nice. It worked for our short stay and we were quite pleased ☺️
