“The cottage was beautiful and the ...”

The cottage was beautiful and the little touches left by the owners were lovely and very welcome after a long drive. The garden around the house was stunning and we were very lucky to see a deer very close to the cottage. The cottage has all you need for a lovely peaceful week away. The only down side is there's no wifi and signal for phone is not that good.

This cottage was spotlessly clean and had many extras like a cream tea, a large basket of fruit, a bottle of wine, chocolates. The curtains, carpets and bed linen were top quality and the best we have come across in holiday lets. Also the owners were very friendly and helpful.

“A dream cottage in a quiet, idyllic ...”

A dream cottage in a quiet, idyllic location, yet close to Bury St Edmunds with all of its facilities. The property was spacious and extremely well-equipped, and the owners provided so many extra touches, along with a welcome pack of food. One of the best places that we've ever rented!

“The description was clear and ...”

The description was clear and everything was as described. The hosts were very friendly and the cream tea left for us, as well as the welcome given by them was excellent. They had included a starter back of basics as well as a lovely basket of fruit and bowl of chocolates. Fabulous experience and wonderful cottage. We also appreciated the hosts being available if we needed them but otherwise leaving us to our privacy. Thank you, Colin and Carol!

“The cottage is a bit more isolated ...”

The cottage is a bit more isolated than we imagined. Beautifully located but it is not in a village. The stairs as stated are difficult One of us had therefore to sleep downstairs on the sofa bed which some people might not find ideal The hosts are fantastic and could not have been kinder in any way. The cottage is so well supplied you do not need to take anything with you!!

- Mrs Fearns, September 2016
“Beautiful cottage”

Such a lovely cottage with great charm and character. Colin and Carol are very friendly and welcoming they have both done a brilliant job renovating this cottage and it's definitely paid off. We both had a relaxing week here unwinding after a busy life style. This property is a great location to explore suffolk and the local attractions like Anglesey Abbey, Lode Mill, Bury St Edmund's and Sudbury.

“A Beautiful Cottage with a warm and friendly atmosphere, and has the definate WOW factor!”

What an amazing place!! Faith Cottage is absolutely beautiful. It has a warm and friendly atmosphere and the WOW factor throughout. It has been lovingly restored to an extremely high standard by the owners, Carol and Colin, and it was a real privilege to stay there. They gave us a very warm welcome and it was a lovely surprise to have the table laid with scones and jam and all we needed to begin our holiday without rushing out to the shops for basic provisions. Every single part of this cottage is beautiful...it was a joy discovering each room with all the character and querks... yet still very practical and well equipped. I particularly enjoyed my long soak in the roll top bath, which made for a luxurious and relaxing evening after our journey over. It had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend away. I would highly recommend this Cottage, and we will definitely be going back!

“Perfect English Cottage”

This was everything we hoped for in a country cottage experience. We were made very welcome by the owners who had set out tea and scones for us. They lived near by and topped our wood up when needed. Watch your head on the staircase!

“Well worth a visit”

My husband, two friends and myself stayed here in May 2009 but have never forgotten our visit to Faith Cottage it was so wonderful. The cottage looked so pretty on Sykes' website and didn't disappoint in the slightest. The owners couldn't have done more to make you feel at home, there were too many little touches to mention which you don't often find in rented cottages. If we ever get down that way again we would love to make a return visit and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a holiday in the area.

“Excellent accomodation, all you could ask for .”

The cottage was fully stocked with high quality utensils, linen, crockery etc., a warm welcome from the owners Carol and Colin. Nothing was too much trouble. The location was very peaceful, but was within 20 - 40 mins of easy driving to Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich, Sudbury. and more. The 4 of us had a very enjoyable stay.

“A beautiful country cottage, a charming Suffolk hideaway”

Carol and Colin are wonderful hosts and they've done a great job fulfilling their personal dream of repairing and fitting out Faith Cottage. It is beautifully appointed with quality furnishings, appliances and loving touches, It is comfortable, cozy and charming. Colin tells a great history of the place and his pride in his work is evident. The cottage is surrounded by very nice landscaping and farmer's fields. Like any centuries old house it has its quirks. If you're handicapped in any way, be careful. The bedrooms are up a steep staircase and the bath is downstairs. However, there is a convertible sofa on the ground floor that avoids the stair issue. We enjoyed our stay very much and would do it again in a minute.

“Home from Home”

Not only did this look like the best cottage we had ever stayed in it was. The little touches added by the owners as well as their friendliness and kindness made it so. The cottage itself deserved the five stars it has got from us. It was beautiful, lacked nothing you could want and indeed immediately felt like a home not a holiday let. The location was good with access to Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex. The area was very quiet and peaceful and the gardens of the cottage were kept beautifully and we enjoyed watchng and feeding the birds and the squirrels. We missed the deer unfortunately who we understand visit too but we did have a visit from the local rabbit population. All in all this cottage is highly recommended, unless of course, you are looking for wild nights out but for a country location it is ideal.

It is a very nice cottage with very good quality furnishings.The owners live close by and are very nice people although they did not interfere. Quiet secluded area but plenty of places to visit within easy driving distance.

“The idyllic cottage”

Faith Cottage is a typically English thatched country cottage in a location ideal for exploring the Suffolk countryside and amenities and is convenient for visiting the university city of Cambridge. The welcome we received was more than we expected; we were made to feel more like friends than visitors. We intend to make a return visit.

The peaceful village of Felsham provides home to a good local shop, a lovely village pub and a beautiful church dating back to the 15th Century. The surrounding villages boast a wealth of architecture spanning the decades and include Ickworth House, built by the eccentric 4th Earl of Bristol and Melford Hall, a turreted Tudor mansion once visited by Elizabeth I. The small medieval town of Lavenham is well worth a visit, with its stunning Tudor buildings and local history museum, whilst nearby Bury St. Edmunds provides a good range of pubs and restaurants, as well as a choice of museums, parks and a stunning Cathedral.
