"Comfortable, clean and well supplied cottage."
Sunny garden. Pub within walking distance and a good farmshop within 10 minutes drive for breakfast (when you can't be bothered) or food shopping. Easy access to the coast, and to the countryside. Will likely come again

The location is great for exploring an interesting and very pretty part of Suffolk. The information and photos about the cottage were fascinating and we were pleased to read about your family connections to it. It made the stay more personal and somehow welcoming. Thank you again.

"We had a lovely stay at Daisy Cottage."
I read some not very nice reviews about cleanliness etc but we didn't find this to be the case. We were very pleased with how clean Daisy Cottage was. Margaret the owner was charming & kindly left some essentials like milk for us including dog treats for our Jack Russell.
All in all we loved it & would love to come back.

"Margaret (the owner) went beyond the call of duty during the unexpected power disruption late one afternoon, when she arrived with more candles, a camping stove and a suitable kettle for it!"
! At least we could then have a hot drink.
We have visited this property several times over the past few years and have always found it very clean and comfortable. The added bonus being that the owner lives a few minutes walk away.

"We had a very enjoyable time at Daisy Cottage."
It is a lovely house in a great location for exploring the many beautiful places of interest in the area. Having read a couple of recent online reviews from people who had stayed at the cottage before us I'm pleased to say we had no issues with the level of cleanliness. The cottage had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. I would definitely stay here again.

"This is a beautiful cottage with a lovely big kitchen and good facilities."
However, so much disappointed us that it spoilt our holiday. Many people before us had mentioned the scalding hot water, this had not been rectified. It is dangerously hot. On entering the cottage the grime and dirt was evident. The settees were filthy, there were cobwebs and spiders everywhere, the kitchen surfaces needed to be wiped, dusty surfaces and dog hair were in the downstairs rooms. Urine and hair were on the toilet seat in the bathroom. I had to give the place a good clean before we felt comfortable and could relax. A pair of men's boxer shorts had been left under the drawers in the snug and were clearly visible, not what we wanted to find. Every early morning and sometimes in the night we were woken up by dogs across the road howling and barking. Unfortunately this set our little dogs off and also others in the neighbourhood. Finally on our last day there was a terrible smell in the sitting room by the kitchen door. We had seen mice in the garden and so can only assume that one had died in the cavity wall. Living in the country we've experienced this a couple of times, not nice. All of this is such a shame, it is a superb cottage but it is really lacking the care and attention it deserves. We were glad to come home.
Thank you feedback, we are very disappointed that you seemingly did not get the holiday you wanted. You never contacted us at Sykes to report any issues, the owners live close by and if you had reported anything to us we would have liaised with the owner to get this sorted rather than leaving a lengthy response on the website.

"Our first impression of the cottage was wonderful, it’s in a pretty village in a great location to explore Suffolk."
It’s also beautifully renovated and made you feel like you were on holiday. Unfortunately on further inspection all the skirting boards, light switches, sockets, vertical slats on doors, radiators were very dusty covered in a sticky residue. I started to clean some of them as they would have irritated me whilst on holiday. The mirrors and bedside tables were the same and there were many cobwebs. I also cleaned around the toilet and bath taps too. I’d spoken to the owner prior to check in about 9am check out who’d explained they use a fogging machine due to Covid hygiene and I can only imagine that this must have been causing the sticky dusty residue. Later in our stay we needed plasters, the first aid box which was on top of the fridge was so dirty and had no plasters either. The standard of furniture, decor, fitments and welcome treats were very good however, our overall experience was marred by the above. I also don’t understand why cushions had been removed from the sofas so we used our pillows for support. The hot water was dangerously hot, other quests had mentioned this but nothing had been done. Every morning we were woken up pre 6.30am from the noisy yapping dogs living in the vicinity. This was especially irritating as we have our own dogs who fortunately didn’t respond to the local dogs barking. I know there is nothing that can be done about this but if you’re a light sleeper then I think you should be aware of this.

"An excellent cottage in an excellent location for exploring the area."
It seemed like every possible need had been thought of. Tea, coffee , sugar. Chocolate biscuits for us and treats for Charlie. 70gb wi fi in such a rural location!!!! Bread, milk as well so after a 4 hour journey up the A12 ( 90 minutes on return) we were able to make a cup of tea. No hesitation in recommending this cottage and the owner. The Old Chequers is 5 minutes walk away and the food is excellent….they keep a nice pint of Wherry btw.
Two tiny gripes: The hot water is too hot and needs to be turned down and the grass was not cut which was surprising when every other need had been anticipated and exceeded. Nevertheless I would give 6 ⭐️ stars if possible. Well done Margaret and William Oh, and the neighbours are friendly which added to a great holiday.

"This was our third stay at Daisy Cottage."
We love the location and the cottage and have not previously had reason for complaint but we were very disappointed this time because the cleanliness failed to meet our expectations. At first sight it seemed fine but on closer inspection we needed to clean quite a few areas ourselves before we could relax. For example under the microwave, the spillage on the floor at the side of the dishwasher, the cutlery tray, the utensils tin, inside drawers, the floor behind the bathroom door, the wooden bars on the doors, under the sofas etc. We fully appreciate the implications of additional cleaning due to Covid but arrivals are from 4pm and we now have to vacate by 9am. We were expecting the cottage to be cleaner if anything!

It was extremely comfortable, cosy and pristine and well located for all local attractions and sightseeing as well as the very friendly local pub The Old Chequers. The hosts of Daisy Cottage left a few essential supplies as well as dog treats for our Cocker Spaniel which were very well received. The kitchen was extremely well equipped (only thing missing was a grater) and even items like dishwasher tablets, tea bags and coffee were supplied which in our experience is most often not the case.
It was a charming little cottage and we will most definitely like to return at some point in the future.

The Heating was not very easy to control
No cleaning products for surfaces in the kitchen provide which is needed (lots of other things thought of though)

The garden had all facilities like barbeque, clothesline, table & chairs & parasol. The kitchen was immaculate with lovely china & all that's needed in saucepans etc.
My sister slept in the double bed in one of the bedrooms, and I slept in a single bed in the other bedroom. However my bed, was a bid small. It was a small single bed probably intended for a child. I'm not a large person. But I don't think anyone who is large would have been comfortable sleeping as the bed was narrow in width. It was a hot few nights, and I was quite hot under the duvet provided. I would have had just a light blanket at home when weather was hot .....
The area was beautiful & unspoilt. With everything within a few miles from the cottage.
