Thank you for a fabulous stay at Udder Cottage. Beautiful cottage in peaceful location. Slept so well in super comfy bed. Everything you could possibly need is here, we would definitely stay again. We ventured to various beaches with our dogs - Dunwich, Southwold, Covehithe, they were great. Also a wander around Aldeburgh. We will return for sure.
