Little Turnpike Cottage, Melton

16 Customer Reviews

• "The cottage and its position was lovely, it was very peaceful and a short walk into town, near several marked walks."

  Unfortunately it was in need of a good clean. We didn’t use the kettle for instance as it was so heavily furred up. There was an oven tray that hadn’t been cleaned that we found in the oven. Generally the house was dusty and there were several cobwebs. The toilet seats were still lose. The mattress protector and sheet on the large bed (singles joined together) kept coming off. When we removed the duvet cover at the end of our stay we could see duvet was stained. There was nowhere to put our walking boots and shoes. The phone numbers quoted on your website for the property were incorrect. The owner didn’t want hers on and the other number didn’t connect. Corrected after I phoned up and told you. Shouldn’t have been me having to sort that out. The owner should be aware the cottage needs a thorough clean as this is mentioned in other reviews. When we booked the cottage I saw that it needed cleaning but trusted both in your company and the owner would have sorted that out by now.

• "The cottage was well located to walk the third of a mile into the town of Woodbridge."

  A few years ago someone had spent a lot of money to make it cosy and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. We arrived at 4pm on our arrival day. It was a cold day and we just wanted to settle in and get warm. We found that the cottage hadn't been prepared for us. The beds weren't made nor the cottage cleaned. We weren't able to get in until 7pm. I would not choose to stay here again.

• "Fantastic communication and welcoming from the host."

  Amazing cottage and thoughtful touches. Excellent location and good parking. Well equipped and decent size. Would recommend some small maintenance issues are fixed and a thorough deep clean when required. Property was clean on the surface but possibly look to clean under furniture etc.

• "Although the house was well situated and generally comfortable and reasonably well equipped it was let down by a few matters."

  The central heating control was switched off when we arrived which meant the clock on it was wrong. it took us some time to sort this out. the living room could do with another radiator as it is cool unless the stove is lit. There is damp in the wall behind the bed in the master bedroom. It ruined a new book my wife left on the bedside cabinet. Chipped glasses and crockery should be replaced. The bathroom needs updating and is not very clean.

• "We had a great stay at Little Turnpike Cottage, the cottage was clean and comfortable."

  Very close to Woodbridge enabling us to walk to town, the lane leads directly to the playing fields and the woods where we met lots of local residents and their dogs. We will definitely return.

• "Does no-one read what guests write in the book?"

  People were complaining there is not a tin opener in the place 2 years ago. Also the loose toilet seat upstairs. THIS NEEDS FIXING! Instructions to get there mention a blue fence, which is now brown. Loads of people have pointed this out. In all other respects the property was reasonably good.

• "The Cottage is great."

  Parking even for a bigger car comfortable. Cosy rooms. Pubs and Shops nearby. And a perfect location to explore Suffolk.We enjoyed our stay very much. The only thing that was not perfect: It was a little bit damp.

• "Please do something about the toilet seat in the bathroom The wifi was very intermittent, it was difficult to plan days out and scenic routes The password was very difficult to access There were no spare batteries for the remote control as suggested in the information book, we replaced them There was previous guests' washing in the machine, we had to use the machine as my husband unfortunately had a fall when trying to cross the ford on New Quay Lane."

  The result from the washing machine was that everything was covered in white debris and i know that no tissues etc were left in pockets The green print in the information book isn't easy on the eye. Having said all of that we enjoyed our break.

• "Very straightforward booking process, all necessary information provided in a timely manner."

  The cottage was in a very convenient location and was attractive, clean, cosy and comfortable with everything needed provided. The welcome bottle of wine and lentil crisps (delicious) was a nice touch. The only small niggles were a rather weak and erratic wi fi signal and the wobbly loo seats. Coming from Woodbridge it's very easy to miss the narrow turning into Turnpike Lane as the 'blue fence' has now been painted brown; however, a helpful local soon put us right.

  Grand foot path walks, our dog enjoy them. The garden was ideal for us and our dog, enclosed very good. Woodbridge shops and garden centre dog friendly, Also the Coach and Horse pub, and good meals, just down the road. No car parking problem for my husband excellent. Marg Barry Coco.

• "Loved the cottage & location - however, the directions given were incorrect as there is no longer a blue fence before the lane."

  Also the WiFi code in the manual was incorrect and the connection was very poor. Apart from that - would highly recommend the cottage and hope to be back soon!

• "A beautiful cottage with bags of character and so light with 2 or 3 windows in every room."

  Everything was provided for self catering to a very high standard. It was just a very short walk to the beautiful town of Woodbridge and had the advantage of parking in a private driveway. We would have given the property 6 stars if it were possible.

• "The cottage was clean and lovely and warm when we arrived."

  It was welcoming and ideal for the two of us (plus dog). The location was great for pottering into Woodbridge. As we visit the area fairly regularly we will definitely book the cottage again in the future. The wine and lentil chips were a nice touch….I now love lentil crisps!
