We had looked for somewhere to stay in Yoxford, but the two places we know and like are both fully or partially booked for our stay. So, we looked further afield, and closer to RSPB Minsmere. I found a place in Westleton, the room is separate from the house, but not far so no problem if it is raining.
We picked the grandchild up from school and took him to Chelmsford. That journey was slow, taking at least twice as long as usual. For the whole of that journey the sat-nav (Google Maps) was showing 1:51 or the journey to Westleton. Ignoring the recommended route, we headed north, and instead of the A12 we went up the A131 for quite a way. That wasn't too bad, but joining the A12 meant we were soon back in traffic. Having planned to arrive at 6pm, we were now targetting 6:25.
We arrived in Westleton and followed the directions. In the dark, it is very dark, we drove straight past the house, not even realising it was there. An SMS message from our host helped, and as we came round again, she was stood in the road and guided us in. Now close to 7pm, we dumped the bags and 'ran' to the pub for dinner.
The White Horse served us good pub food, the service was very friendly. We were the only ones eating, all the locals in the bar were gone by 9pm.
The room is large and comfortable, with a king-size bed, a sofa, a fridge, a microwave, a table and 2 chairs. The toilet and shower are isolated at one end of the building.
