Stable Cottage at the Grove, Great Glemham

We had a wonderfull stay!

Thanks to Rosemary. Our kids loved the pool and the tennisfield. We love to be back in the future.

We love Stable Cottage and this is our second visit!

It’s such a calm and relaxed place and we enjoy the quiet. We hope to be back next year for a third time! The pool is shared and I saw a review about it being difficult to book it. It’s not the case at all. You just text the owner in the morning and arrange! Super easy!! I think it would be a lovely addition to put some tennis rackets/balls in the house if possible as we don’t have any but would have like to have played! :)

We spent two nights at Stable Cottage in celebration of my Daughter’s birthday.

We absolutely loved the cottage and the surrounding beautiful countryside. For us the cottage was very well located for visiting the popular Suffolk landmarks including Woodbridge, Southwold, Framlingham and Aldeburgh. We are already planning on making a return visit. Rosemary was a wonderful host.

The stable cottage was a lovely stay with friends.

The cottage itself is beautiful the facilities inside the stable were working and great. The only downside was the swimming pool and access to it. We had to walk through the grounds the pony’s were and it wasn’t very pleasant as there was a clear direct path or spot lights to walk on to get to the other side. Something I think the owners need to consider and we were told when to use the pool as the owner had family using it when we arrived. We only booked this stay specifically for the swimming pool as we knew it wasn’t a shared pool as stated in the description. And it wasn’t very heated to be fair. It could be warmer. I hope this feedback is helpful for other visitors too.

The property was very comfortable and well equipped for our family Xmas stay We loved the grounds, back garden and especially the horses The owners were very friendly

Wonderful location and should have been a peaceful week.

Unfortunately the cottage had a significant problem with the plumbing causing ‘water hammer’. This meant that when either toilet was flushed and the bath and shower used, there was a loud and constant noise throughout the cottage from the kitchen taps which could only be remedied by fiddling with the taps. This was very inconvenient during the day. At night we adopted a ‘no flush’ policy, which was really not ideal as we were sharing with friends. Even then, on two nights the water hammer started seemingly spontaneously. On one of the nights it happened five times, meaning a very disturbed night up and down stairs to kitchen to get rid of noise. Rosemary was aware of the problem and had had a plumber in before our occupation to try to remedy the problem to no avail. We do feel that some recompense for this exceptional inconvenience should be forthcoming.

We loved our stay at Stable Cottage.

It is an idyllic location in the heart of rural Suffolk. It is so peaceful and in such a beautiful setting. Our hostess Rosemary was welcoming and friendly at all times. The pool is fantastic, particularly loved by the children, and is kept at a very swimmable temperature. We enjoyed the walks in all directions along the lanes and footpaths. The layout of the cottage works really well, and we appreciated the original artworks and quality of the furnishings and fabrics throughout.

We had the best holiday, cottage and surroundings are fabulous.

We had such a relaxing break , welcome pack was a treat and the host was really accommodating with the pool .Can't wait to go back

We loved our stay at Stable Cottage.

So much so, that we had already booked for next year a few days in. The horses are practically in the back garden which the children absolutely loved! The swimming pool is a lovely addition too! The children spent many hours playing and we accidentally slept in most mornings because it was just so quiet and peaceful! Our only gripe with the property was that it wasn’t very clean. We had to wash nearly all of the kitchen equipment before we used it as it all had bits of food on it. I think this is possibly more to do with the last people who stayed to be honest, but the house could definitely do with being cleaned a little better in between stays. From our point of view there are only a few small things that could have made it better: - A better clean between stays - Safety covers on the plug sockets - Some sort of umbrella to go over the table outside. We were blessed with some lovely weather but didn’t eat outside as the table had no shade. - An investment into new kitchen equipment. We love to cook and there wasn’t a huge amount of equipment, the items that were there were quite old. Some non stick pans and baking trays would be fab! None of these things would have stopped us staying again, but would definitely make it a little better! We look forward to staying again next year!!

We had the most amazing time, everything was absolutely perfect!

Such a high standard throughout, Rosemary made our stay very special. We’re looking at dates for next year!

We had a lovely stay and would love to return again one day.

Not a criticism but property would be enhanced by replacing small screen TVs with two new larger modern screen TVs

Just wonderful!

Thanks so much. Warm welcome and everything as described in the blurb - if not better. Look forward to returning sometime. All the best, Ben and John.

Beautiful property, beautiful location.

Bigger than it seems on the photos. Loved the secure garden as did our dog. Loved our horsey neighbours too. The property was comfortable and had everything we would have wished for. The main bed was very soft if you are partial to that- we are not but we still wouldn’t hesitate to go back. The swimming pool was literally the icing on the cake. Tremendous

The owner was very accommodating with the use of the pool and for a family of 6 we had a very comfortable stay.

Children loved walking through the stable yard morning and evening and we found plenty of dog friendly places to go for an action packed week.

A beautiful cottage, exactly as described.

The owner was very flexible at allowing us to use the swimming pool and tennis court. We also loved the adjoining stables and being surrounded by horses.

We had a lovely week at the cottage.

Lovely cottage in a lovely location. The cottage is very well equipped. Would definitely stay again.

The cottage was comfortable and very tasteful with everything at a high standard, The location is very rural and very quiet - a lovely spot.

Hard to beat for a holiday cottage.

A lovely home from home greatly enjoyed for our Christmas stay.

Well appointed and furnished. Idyllic setting surrounded by the Suffolk countryside.

Lovely property, we had a lovely stay and would come back.

Just Great, we loved this property!

A lovely, comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings making it a pleasure to come back to after a great day walking in the lovely Suffolk countryside and along the beautiful Suffolk beaches.

We were made to feel very welcome by, Rosemary, the owner, who was happy to let us look round and enjoy her beautiful garden, and being able to visit the adjacent stables, see the horses, dog, cats and have a chat with friendly Tracey (stable manager) was a real plus. A generous welcome pack awaited us - an excellent start to the holiday which remained excellent throughout. Thank you.
