  • "The only real issue we had was the stairs and the hedge by the parking slot was over grown and made getting in and out of the car very difficult."

  • "What a lovely cottage this was to stay in."

    Well kitted out, and nice and clean. The utility room was a god send with our dog as the weather was wet for 2/3 days of our weeks stay, so cleaning him up in there was great. The secure garden was lovely for him as well. The location of the property is brilliant for visiting places like Southwold, Lowestoft, Thorpeness and we went as far as Felixstowe. We would thoroughly recommend 1 Tunns Cottages. The staircase is steep but you do get used to it after a while but worth bearing in mind for those with mobility issues. The log burner was lovely to put on in the chilly evenings.

    Thank you, so pleased you had a good break . Property Owner

  • "Both front and back doors need a little adjustment."

    Would have liked to have been informed of the very steep and narrow staircase prior to booking, would a rope bannister help? Must say what a wonderful garden and the flowers and wine we're very much appreciated. Also, the quality of towels and bedding outstanding

  • "A beautiful beautiful cottage."

    Quiet, serene and even though the stairs are a bit for a man with my back, it has been equipped to make the ups and downs easy. Its location is superb for all the surrounding countryside and the beach. The garden is a dream. The kitchen is fab. I didn't actually miss home. Bravo.

    Thank you, so glad you enjoyed the stay. Property Owner

  • "Really nice property that we thoroughly enjoyed staying in."

    The house was comfortable and well looked after - a really nicely renovated old building. Our only critiques are the wifi - realising this is out in the sticks we weren't expecting too much but 67Mb is available at this address and the wifi as is falls far short of this. It was difficult to maintain video calls, etc. We would also have preferred fitted sheets on the bed - using normal sheets as under sheets just means having to continuously tuck them in all night. Finally, we could have done with fans in the house as it was quite warm. One thing to note for families, the trundle is put in the master bedroom (which is noted in the advert). We actually moved ours to the second bedroom as we didn't want one of the kids in with us - so this is a slight inconvenience to note if you are booking as a family of 4.

  • "Our first stay in this beautiful cottage full of character and warmth."

    The original fixtures and furniture were all of a high standard. Everything one needs to make a holiday one to remember and to return to. The garden and surrounding countryside makes it a place of peace and quiet attracting butterflies, birds, bees etc. Also such lovely places nearby to visit whether it is the beach or local villages. We would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone Thank you Lucy and Henry

  • "We loved our stay, it is a beautifully presented cottage, with gorgeous woodwork throughout."

    The kitchen was a lovely space to use and eat in. Our dogs were made to feel very welcome (rather than an inconvenience as is often the case). The garden is also a superb space, the dogs were giddy with excitement every time they were let out! Just wonderful and we’d love to return.

    Thank you, so glad you enjoyed your stay . Lucy Property Owner

  • "We stayed a week at 1 Tunns Cottage in late May and the weather was seasonally very good - warm and sunny."

    We were left a very generous starter pack & treats.The cottage was very old, full of character, decorated with fresh flowers and warm & cosy. The cottage was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, decorated to a high standard, very well equipped and contained a comprehensive folder of useful, important and local information. There was an enclosed garden with a patio area, table & chairs and flower borders. The setting provided privacy and was peaceful with the sounds of the wildlife - wonderful. The location was perfect for visiting many local attractions, coastline and pretty towns & villages. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 1 Tunns Cottage and would recommend this holiday cottage.

    Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    The owner needs to move the soft drinks glasses down to an accessible level as they were placed right at the top of a wall cupboard. We would have needed a ladder to reach them A perfect cottage kept in an immaculate condition with a lovely garden and SOO dog friendly

    Glad you enjoyed your stay, good point, I will move the glasses around! Property Owner

    Lovely area for walking too. The cottage has a lovely, large garden with bbq and outdoor table and chairs. It was our 5th visit, so I think that says a great deal. We will definitely return.

  • "We had a fabulous week at 1 Tunns cottages."

    The setting is lovely - so quiet and peaceful but just 15 minutes from Southwold, which was so lovely we went twice!! We enjoyed some great walks along the coast and rivers as well discovering some charming little places like Thorpeness, Beccles and Walberswick village & beach - would recommend Black Dog Deli for lunch! Really appreciated the beautiful peaceful garden - listen out for the cuckoo! Highly recommended!

    Nice big fluffy white towels were provided. The garden was great for sitting out in and keeping our 3 dogs safely contained, one of which is a renowned escape artist. I would stay here again.

  • "Charming and comfortable cottage with stunning scenery to front and side of property."

    The owners kindly left us welcoming gifts for ourselves and our pets. All were greatly appreciated. Cottage was very clean and so comfortable with a country cottage style garden. There was a large downstairs bathroom and also an upstairs toilet which came in very handy. Mud room was brilliant for those muddy dog paws and there’s a large downstairs room/cupboard opposite the bottom of the stairs which has your wardrobe space. Our only concern was the steepness of the stairs. Not for the faint hearted or the elderly. Lots of lovely places to visit within half hour drive of this property and 50 mins drive to see the seals up close at Horsey Gap beach. (Best day of our holiday). We highly recommend this beautiful cottage for a peaceful stay in the Suffolk almost Norfolk area and would happily return.

    Reported to owner but did not fix. Meant we had to sleep with door unlocked which was quite stressful - ended up sleeping on sofa so that family felt safe

  • "We had a thourghly good time at 1Tunns Cottage."

    The house is as described plus more which we didn't see mentioned on the description. There is an upstairs toilet and small sink and also a lean-to/mud/utility room on the back, great if you have dogs and wet clothes. The garden is great for dogs and very secure and the house is warm and comfortable. As stated the stairs are very steep and narrow but you get used to them quickly. One of the best things about the cottage is its location. When we looked on Google maps it appears to be 'in the middle on nowhere' and whilst that is true and good in terms of peace an quiet, Morrisons is only 8 minutes drive away, Lowestoft 20 mins, Southwold 25 mins, delivery services are good too - so it really is the best of all worlds. I would recommend it as a great space to see this beautiful part of the country.
