property is not suitable for toddlers and very young children.

Situated just 1 mile from the A12 and the pretty village of Yoxford with its useful general store and post office, and a similar distance from two friendly local pubs, the cottage is just 5 miles from Suffolk Heritage Coast and 3 miles from Minsmere the flagship RSPB reserve.
