"We must love the Round House because this was our third visit and we have booked again for 2024."
One suggestion - since there is a downstairs bedroom complete with en suite this makes the cottage suitable for older visitors accompanied by younger family. A very welcome addition in the downstairs en suite would be a hand rail to make getting in and out of the bath/shower easier and safer. Assuming that one day we will get lovely sunny weather again a few sun beds would be very welcome. Otherwise, we love it!

"The Round House is a really nice traditional style property with plenty of space, the garden is really big and private."
The house had all we needed and is near to many of the best parts of Suffolk. Only criticism is the garden furniture would really benefit from some cushions as it's a lovely garden to sit in but the chairs and benches are quite uncomfortable after a while.

I didnt like the tone of the messages in the property - not very welcoming i wouldnt book the property again and i wouldnt recommend it due to a spurious charge at the end of the rental - £60 for cleaning up a small amount of dog hair from a hard floor after we cleaned the property throughout and followed all of the 'instructions'

"The Roundhouse is a lovely property set in a very large garden with a stream running along the bottom."
The location is excellent and we could get to all of the local attractions in less than 30 minutes. The bedrooms worked well for our extended family and the variety of rooms in the house meant that there were lots of spaces for us all to hang out. The kitchen was very well stocked, so cooking for the six of us was easy (there was also a large supermarket about 5 mins drive away). The only negative was the poor quality internet access which meant it was virtually impossible to get online - and as the mobile network was also poor, this was quite frustrating.

"This is a delightful 'tardis' like cottage developed and decorated to a high quality standard in a peaceful location."
Unfortunately, the interior furnishings favour design over function e.g. the conservatory seating is stylish but uncomfortable; first floor bedroom wash basins stylish but not practical without a mirror facing you. However, there are areas for improvement e.g. the cottage wasn't serviced properly as the top shelf in the wardrobe of the ground floor bedroom was filthy; no soap in the ground floor cloakroom; a second hand towel missing from the ground floor bedroom en-suite; numerous cobwebs throughout all ceilings and around furniture legs. Curiously the guest book is full and hasn't been replaced since 2019. The house keeper has pinned hand written notices on the kitchen window advising that beds should not be stripped as they will be "inspected" along with a £10.00 fine per dog poo found - nice to be welcomed in a such a way!

"Wonderful week to rest and enjoy the beautiful setting."

"A beautiful and welcoming holiday property, with everything we could have asked for."
The wine and crisps left as a welcome gift were very thoughtful and appreciated. The property is spacious, and the conservatory that opens up from the kitchen with the fairy lights and electric effect wood stove was such a great space. A great base from which to explore Suffolk. The only downside was the cockerel next door which loved being an alarm clock from 2am each morning…it would be good to have this as a warning to guests in the details. To be woken every morning on a holiday at this hours we were was frustrating to say the least.

The property
Wickham Market 2.7 miles.
Settled into the historic village of Easton, near Wickham Market, Suffolk, and within a half-hour drive of the coast and other must-see villages, The Round House is a fantastic holiday home, offering everything you will need to make your holiday convenient and enjoyable.
Pass curving brick walls and quaint countryside scenery to arrive at this unusual property, being captivated by its round walls and thick thatched roof.
Enter into a building that has been fitted to perfectly follow the curve of the walls, beginning with a sitting room sporting pale grey décor, a selection of sofas, wooden flooring and a woodburning stove to add a homely glow to the room as you relax with a book in the evening.
The kitchen matches the sitting room in elegance, with grey furniture complementing a marble worksurface, stylish décor, wooden flooring and a breakfast bar and dining table, a great space for family cooking together.
There is also the option of a fantastic conservatory where you can relax at the end of a long day of adventuring with a glass of your favourite beverage, keeping warm beside the electric fire stove.
On the ground floor you will find the first bedroom, a curved king-size bedroom with storage and a handy en-suite, perfect for refreshments after a long day of walking through the countryside, and the character of the building is continued in the elegant sash windows.
For more bedrooms, ascend the stairs and discover two delightful en-suite bedrooms with half-moon windows in keeping with the history of the building and décor which adds a real air of opulence.
Outside, enjoy the fresh countryside air at the patio where a table and chairs provide you with a great spot for alfresco dining.
Easton is steeped in history, and this is noticeable as you walk through the village and see the different cottages and farmhouses, and there is a selection of pubs and cafes a short distance from the village at Wickham Market, where you can enjoy a variety of meals and a glass of your favourite beverage, as well as stocking up on essentials at the local convenience store.
For a family day out, visit the wonderful Easton Farm Park, where you may be lucky enough to see baby animals in the spring, or there is the option of riverside walks.
Further afield you can find the stunning Suffolk coast where you can enjoy a family walk and picnic with your four-legged friend, try out watersports and keep an eye out for wildlife!
Make a holiday to remember with a stay at The Round House.

About the location
FRAMLINGHAM
Saxmundham 7.5 miles; Aldeburgh 14 miles; Southwold 20 miles
The beautiful market town of Framlingham is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) and has been known since Anglo Saxon times, when it consisted of several manors which William the Conqueror (1066-1087) presented to Roger Bigod. The town is of particular interest as it has a large castle and mere which was built between 1190 and 1210. The town is surrounded by lovely villages to explore and has two of the oldest working post boxes and one of Britain’s smallest houses, with the footprint measuring 6.1x2.2m!
