"Lovely house."
Clean and well equipped. However the bottom bunk bed mattress wasn’t very comfortable as you could feel the springs.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback regarding our property.
However, we have noted your comment regarding the bottom bunk bed and have arranged to rectify the situation. Kind regards.

"Absolutely delightful cottage in a gorgeous village."
The cottage was well stocked & clean. We couldn’t have asked for a better location in relation to Orford. Orford is a lovely little village with gems in the oyster age, bakery pubs & convenience store - all settled around a fabulous quay - offering lovely walks too! The house is next to a working farm which was incredibly noisy from 6am ish for most of the day. We did find this disturbing. The double & bunk beds werent overly comfortable. However overall we loved the house & Orford - .a great holiday.
Thank you so much for your kind comments and feedback which is very helpful and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay in Orford. As you say, the cottage is next to a working farm which is mentioned in the particulars and this time of the year is busy with harvesting hence the working machinery. The bedding is designed for all types so what suits some may not suit others. However, it was very pleasing to read that you had a great holiday. Kind regards.

"Home from Home, really well appointed, quiet and a lovely farm location with a short footpath through the fields down to the Ore river front and into Orford via the scenic way on top of the riverbank dyke."
Location is handy for the river boats, Pinney's smokery, shop, pubs, cafe's and restaurants in the village, and in sight of the Castle. Recommend the garden, beer and food in the Jolly Sailor especially if you have a dog. We had a great restful week.
Thank you very much for taking the time to send your kind comments and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at our property. With kind regards.

"The cottage is well appointed,it had everything you would need."
Unfortunately the twin beds were so uncomfortable it was impossible to get a good night sleep, considering the feedback from other visitors regarding these beds l can't understand why the owners have not addressed this problem.....new mattresses or at least a memory foam topper , please!!
We are very pleased to read that our property came up to your expectations and thank you for your kind comment, although we are sorry to hear that you found the twin beds uncomfortable. As you will no doubt appreciate, bedding is very personal and what suits some may not suit others. However, we have made arrangements to rectify the situation.
Kind regards.

"Orford is lovely and for us chantry barns was perfectly placed and excellent inside , unfortunately my wife broke her femur/hip on southwold pier after catching her foot in loose ropes from a lifebelt."
Thank you so much for your kind feedback and very pleased you enjoyed being at Chantry Barns and staying in Orford. However, it was terribly unfortunate that your wife suffered such a bad accident on Southwold pier and certainly not a way to end your holiday, and we send her all good wishes for a speedy recovery.
With kind regards,

"Chantry Barns is a lovely development."
Cottage is very well equipped, everything you need in the kitchen, space, seating, showers all great. Only negative is the mattresses in the twin and bunks, both very uncomfortable- recommend changing because spoils an otherwise great cottage. Also suggest moving the bench by parking bay because it makes reversing into the end barn parking space difficult.
Orford is a lovely village to stay, great bakery, pubs and fish smokehouse.

"We found the property very well supplied and prepared."
The local facilities are good and the weather made outings very easy. Parking was simpler if we backed into the space from the driveway gate. The fridge is very small but overall we were delighted with the holiday in a quiet and pleasant area.

"The stand out qualities of this cottage was the perfect cleanliness and the range of equipment."
It seemed that everything had been thought of.
Location was perfect - short stroll into the village along one of the footpaths, or to the quay along another. We had a minor issue during our stay but a quick call to the caretaker had it sorted the same day - couldn't fault the helpfulness and speed the issue was addressed. The cottage sleeps 6 but there is only one designated parking bay. (hence the not perfect score for facilities) In a perfect situation we would have had two. But this really is nit-picking. A great place to stay.
