“A new agency that offers accommodation with a ‘wow’ factor..Discerning weekenders expect high things of a self-catering cottage these days..It's a trend that has spawned a new breed of small upmarket booking agencies, like Best of Suffolk. Run by Naomi Tarry and her husband Alex, they launched the company last year after successfully renovating and letting a property in the quaint seaside resort of Aldeburgh…’I think expectations of holiday cottages are rising dramatically’ says Naomi. ‘People want their cottage to excite them and be in some way better than what they’ve got at home’. The rapid expansion of Best of Suffolk seems to bear this out.”
