Ideal base for the Aldeburgh Festival
Little Chequers was all that we had hoped for: clean, bright, comfortably furnished with plenty of space for two. The garden was a lovely unexpected extra and an impressive use of the space. Easy access to Aldeburgh, Snape, Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere made this an ideal base for our visit.

A great place to start a new year
The cottage was exactly what we wanted to spend some time in a great part of England. It is well decorated and furnished inside and most comfortable to stay in. It is situated in a pretty small village with a wonderful pub a stones throw away which served excellent food and hosted by very friendly staff. I certainly recommend this as a place to stay for visiting Suffolk.

Cosy comfortable country cottage
Great place & will revisit next Spring hopefully: warm, clean & cosy home-from-home. Can’t recommend it enough: ideal location for visiting Aldeburgh, Snape Maltings & Southwold; handy pub on the doorstep with great staff & food + dog-friendly. Toni, the owner was very responsive to a couple of issues & resolved them quickly - literally just a phone call made every thing perfect.

lovely stay at little chequers.
we stayed last week and found the cottage very clean on arrival. It's very comfortable and well equipped. Conveniently placed for the adjacent pub, (only open Wed. to Sun.currently, need to pre-book for meals. Had a good meal-v large portions!) It's a quiet village pub-no noise audible in the cottage. Friston is a small village-no shops, but is only 10 minutes to Aldbrough, a nice town & promenade. The small enclosed garden at the cottage was good to sit in during the great weather we had, but the chairs could be more comfortable! We really enjoyed our stay, and would recommend the cottage to couples looking for a peaceful location.

Lovely Cottage in a lovely friendly village
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. Situated in a lovely village with a very welcoming pub less than a minute walk away. We found some great walks to take our energetic Labrador and son. Great base to explore the coastal towns of Southwold, Aldeburgh and Lowestoft. Leiston is a 5 minute drive away to stock up on essentials and some nice Take Aways if you don't feel like cooking. The cottage is very clean and comfortable and has everything you need for your stay, the owner has thought of everything, it feels like a real home from home definitely one of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in. We definitely recommend and will certainly be visiting again in the future. Thank you Toni for letting us stay in your lovely cottage.

A peaceful and cosy escape from current restrictions
A comfortable home from home with easy access to Suffolk coastal delights. School desk in kitchen brought back memories of 1940s ! Conservatory extension a welcome addition. Also appreciated availability of Netflix. Only recommendation is to ask cleaners to descale kettle - excessive build up not conducive to a good cuppa.

This delightful property was perfect in every way. Very clean and comfortable. Pretty little garden and a lovely sun room. Well equipped for self catering but there is also a very good dog friendly pub within a very short walk. Short drive to the Suffolk coastline and the lovely towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold. Host very friendly and helpful.

Tranquil oasis of calm amid the current crisis
Lovely cottage in quiet setting in the village of Friston. We particularly enjoyed having breakfast in the conservatory overlooking the daffodils in the courtyard garden & watching the birds on the bird feeder. Easy access to Snape, Aldeburgh & Orford to name just few. Closures beginning to occur due to the covid-19 crisis (which worsened after we returned home) but we still enjoyed picnics on our days out. Thank you Toni for a lovely stay & we look forward to returning in the future. Ian & Maureen

A delightful weeks holiday
The house was delightful. Very well equipped kitchen, good heating and altogether ideal. Just beside is the Old Chequers pub, (run by Andy and Carol who are great fun), where we were made very welcome and excellent food. Went into Aldeburgh twice, watching the crazy "swim" on Boxing Day, visited Southwold (getting even better) and also Snape. Thank Toni for a great week.

Delightful
We loved staying in Little Chequers. I was unsure at first about booking a cottage in such a small village but we were delighted with everything. The cottage was a joy as was the little garden. I had some lovely walks around and about the village with our dog who also enjoyed the change of scenery. I would definitely recommend this cottage and location to anyone. P.S. The website was also great. All very clear and no fuss! Thanks

We really enjoyed our stay every thing we needed and in close proximity to so many interesting places. The pub next door was good for food tho check opening times cos they were closed more than the web site said (time of year). I would recommend this very comfortable cottage.
