  • "It would be helpful to have a basket or shelf in the shower to put your soap or shower gel etc."

    At the moment you have to put it on the floor and I don't think bending down in the shower is really a good thing!

  • "Rookery cottage is very well looked after."

    It is very comfortable. Nice and secluded garden. Ideally situated for seeing the area.

    Thank you very much for your kind feedback, we’re pleased you found the cottage comfortable and enjoyed the garden. We hope to welcome you back sometime. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful stay at Rookery cottage!"

    The cottage hosts were so kind and helpful. The cottage was perfect and very comfortable and the beautiful garden was brilliant for our children to play in. We would definitely recommend a stay at Rookery cottage.

    Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We loved meeting your family and hope to welcome you back another time! Property Owner

  • "Very comfortable cottage, with well equipped kitchen."

    Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. Lovely walk in shower. Garden is very nice to sit out in. Only downside was the underfloor heating took a very long time to warm the place up on our first day - it would've been nice if the heating could have been put on a bit higher earlier for us as it was a visit in cold February. However, electric fan heater we found in a cupboard came in useful and the duvets on the beds were very cosy. This is in a good location, easy to visit places like Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge, RSPB Minsmere, Southwold, etc.

    Dear Sue, Thank you so much for your feedback and we're happy you found the cottage clean, comfortable and well-equipped. We're so sorry to hear it wasn't warm enough for you when you arrived, we do ensure the UFH is on well in advance of guests coming in cold weather so we shall look into this and do apologise. We're pleased you enjoyed our local sites and seaside and sampled some good local food! We hope that you will come back again sometime. Property Owner

  • "Gorgeous accommodation."

    This cottage has a wealth of comforts and charm. The grounds, the underfloor heating, the beds, the kitchen. All these had a touch of luxury that made our stay wonderful. Thank you to the owners for their attention to detail, help and welcome goodies. Will highly recommend Rookery Cottage.

    Thank you so much for your kind review, we were delighted to read it! We are so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and your time here in Suffolk and hope you will come to stay again sometime. Property Owner

  • "The cottage is beautiful and spacious and very clean."

    As other visitors have mentioned a microwave would be useful. And a blind at ensuite window would be good especially with builders working on scaffold next door!! We could only get tv to work on tv apps. So might be tricky for some. Also there was an ant infestation on last couple of days. This can happen anywhere but ant powder would be helpful!!!

    Thank you very much for your feedback and I'm pleased you found the cottage beautiful & clean. We have listened to feedback and am pleased to say we do now have a microwave and the en-suite window is frosted over, but rest assured it wasn't easy to see into from nextdoor. The TV is a Smart TV, so it does have all the channels via apps, but we appreciate it isn't what everyone is familiar with. I cannot apologise enough about the ants! We found it was a problem all around this area of Suffolk during this time. I wouldn't like to leave ant powder around in case of children staying, but if such a circumstance arises we are happy to provide it, or maintenance will come and sort for you, which I understand is what happened quickly during this occurrence. I hope this didn't affect your stay and we would be happy to welcome you back another time. Property Owner

  • "As we are senior citizens 80 + years we found the modern type TV very difficult to use, and we were unable to watch some of our regular programmes."

    We are not all up with modern tech. In the Shower room you were overlooked from the adjacent property, It would be helpful if a blind could be fitted to the window.

    Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry you found the Smart TV hard to use, it includes all main TV channel apps but appreciate it may be different to what you're used to and we are looking into this. The en suite shower room window is hard to see into from the exterior, however we completely understand your concern and it has now been frosted over. We hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

    Even had rabbits and pheasants in the garden

    Thank you for your feedback. We decided against the microwave originally due to counter space but we have noted your feedback and now supplied a microwave. The en suite small window has now been frosted over too. I'm pleased you enjoyed the wildlife we have here, the pheasant family, rabbits, kestrels and woodpeckers amongst others often pay the garden a visit. Property Owner

    The cottage was perfect - quiet, spacious, comfortable, well-appointed and very attractive. The underfloor heating kept the temperature comfortable even on the cooler days. The big, private garden was a great asset. Its location is within easy reach of Southwold, Aldeburgh, RSPB Minsmere and Sutton Hoo all of which we thoroughly enjoyed .

    Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted you enjoyed the cottage and explored the beautiful surrounding area and hope that you come again! Property Owner
