Public transport is fairly limited from 3 Ebenezer, Westleton, so a car is the best method of transport. There is a nice, nearby walk to Westleton Common which takes about 15 minutes from the cottage. Please note that there are fairly steep and narrow stairs leading up to the 2 bedrooms and bathroom, so care will need to be taken especially when supervising young children going up and down the stairs. The gate at the entrance of the cottage leads out onto a village road, so upmost care must be taken to prevent young children or dogs from running out onto the road.
