  • "Overall it was very comfortable and clean everything you needed was there a couple of small issues it was very hot so could have done with a bigger fan and the tv was a smart tv but had no freeview channels due to no aerial only bbc player if you haven't got Netflix etc you could only watch the iplayer ."

    There was plenty of cupboards but they were all full so had to store our food in bedroom cupboard. We have given the Hoot a 5 star because it was very quiet secluded and a lovely place to stay . There was lots of places to visit castles, houses and lovely villages and pubs which served great food

  • "What an amazing place."

    Incredibly well maintained both the accommodation and the land around it. Beautiful views and so quiet, it is the perfect getaway, if you want to 'stop the world and get off' especially if you have dogs. The owners were on hand if we needed anything and were incredibly helpful.

    Thank you so much, we hope to see you again soon. Xx Property Owner

    So quiet and peaceful and my dog loved the fully enclosed garden! I do wish the sofa was a bit bigger and comfier so we could properly relax on rainy days but a real minor thing, everything else was perfect

    I have changed the sofa, it’s only a two seater but much more comfortable. We hope to see you back at The Hoot. Kaz Property Owner

  • "What a great place to stay with our dog, there were dog beds ,bowls and treats!"

    The garden was large and secure. It was full of good sniffy sniffs for him . We saw squirrels and deer and had a great view across the fields. If you love the country you will enjoy staying here!! The accomodation is new and very comfortable to stay in. There is a secure car park and in the Summer we could see ourselves being able to sit in the garden to enjoy alfresco dining! ( It was early March when we stayed). But with the pub just a short walk away, with very friendly landlords we did not go hungry or thirsty! Great Finborough is a great place to explore Suffolk being central for visiting East , West and Babergh areas or even Flatford and Willy Lots cottage in Constable Country! And of course do not forget to visit Ed Sheeran "Castle on the Hill" (Framingham Castle) We will definitely be returning!

    Thank you so much for your feedback, we appreciate it and are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We would love to welcome you back. Property Owner

  • "Just came back from a week staying in this lovely caravan/glamping van (not sure what to call it!"

    ) and it was awesome. The secure garden was great for our greyhound to run around in and we could let him out in the knowledge he would be safe. Although it seems like miles from anywhere it's only a few minutes walk from the village which has a lovely friendly pub with good community atmosphere and pub grub. It's only a 10 minute drive from Stowmarket too which has loads of facilities including supermarkets, restaurants and take-aways. The accommodation was very clean and the layout ideal for 2 humans and their dog. The linen and REALLY FLUFFY TOWELS were an added bonus. The TV is a Smart TV so you will need to log into your various streaming platforms if you want to watch anything as there's no terrestrial TV channels. If I had a few bits of feedback it would be that the kitchen could have a few more pans, chopping boards and baking trays and maybe some mugs as well as cups. And the sofas/armchairs could be a bit more comfy (less garden furniture more put your feet up furniture). All in all a lovely caravan in a lovely spot.

    Thanks so much for your response, there were mugs and I have put two more, the baking tins are in the side of the cupboard. We hope you come back soon.xx We have replaced the sofa with a cosy two seater. Property Owner

    Idyllic, secluded situation. Wrap around enclosed garden. Utter peace to sit watching wildlife - deer, hares, kestrels and numerous small birds. The hosts live just up the lane. They are passionate that you enjoy your stay. I would urge you to book and see for yourselves. Stayed twice already & next break booked.

    We were so pleased you have returned and still love it so much. Thanks for your kind words and see you soon. Property Owner

    .one small snag for us was the seating indoors, we would have a liked a sofa as the furniture was a little uncomfortable for us, but wouldn’t stop us from staying again.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately at the moment new furniture isn’t planned but we hope to see you again. We have replaced the sofa for a cosy two seater, the original one is now outside to relax on and enjoy the view . Property Owner

    The Hoot is idyllic. The property is extremely comfortable and has outstanding kitchen facilities. Very private.

  • "We had a great week at The Hoot."

    An ideal base for visiting local attractions or just staying put and relaxing. We have two Greyhounds who really enjoyed roaming the grounds which were fully enclosed even for smaller dogs. Lots of lovely walks nearby too. The accommodation was not only comfortable but of a high quality. The owners who live further along the lane were on hand if we had any queries but also kept their distance and allowed us to enjoy our privacy. All in all I highly recommend The Hoot if you are looking for somewhere to stay in the heart of Suffolk.

    Thank you so much, we would love to see you both and you beautiful dogs again. You were such lovely, considerate guests. Property Owner
