Suffolk - WHAT TO DO

Kids Stuff

These are some of the kids activities that can easily be done from The Grove Cottages . We supply local maps with our favourite walks marked on them and bike maps for the bikes that are freely available to guests staying here. The canoes we have are liscenced for the River Stour and are a great days adventure for kids, see my canoeing page for more details.
