Water Cottage, a perfect ancient House in Suffolks prettiest tiny village

Water Cottage is situated right in the middle of the very picturesque village of Kersey, close to a ford known as "The Splash" and more or less opposite the excellent village pub, The Bell. On arrival we were warmly greeted by Lauren the very helpful property manager and given a quick rundown. The interior is beautifully renovated, well furnished and full of character. The warm weather meant we didn't need to make use of the wood burner in the splendid fireplace. The kitchen is small but well equipped. There is a lovely enclosed garden at the rear of the cottage, perfect for sitting out and enjoying the sunshine. We loved our time at Water Cottage and would certainly stay there again.

Although the bathroom was quite spacious and looked good, the bath with hand shower attachment was awkward to use especially for the older members of our party, not least because it was essential not to spill water onto the wooden floor as this is in direct contact with the ceiling below. Although not really in character with the cottage, a built in shower would be much more practical.
