“We had a great time in Faith Cottage.”

It was perfect. Very well equipped and very considerate hosts.

) It was immaculately presented, beautifully secluded and yet well accessible to the attractions we wanted to visit. The owners left us a delightful starter pack of food and goodies some of which lasted us for the whole week. The thatched cottage has been so well restored as well. Thoroughly recommended.

Beautiful exterior and gardens - thatched cottage. Very helpful owner. Incredible extras - like welcome pack, fruit, chocolates etc. Our only worry were the very steep stairs to upstairs and tight landing, tricky for those of us with dodgy knees! Also only bathroom - downstairs. An extra toilet would be really useful especially if several people staying there. But appreciate it is a difficult building to put in these helpful things! Thank you.

We stayed here over the Easter weekend as 4 adults and a young child. Property is full of character and tastefully restored and maintained. Really well stocked for a holiday cottage - everything you’d need. Great outdoor space too. Location is good - 15 minute drive from Bury St Edmonds. Very much recommend this for those after a home away from home when on holiday.

“Faith Cottage is an excellent property.”

Highly recommended.

Dr Leonard, December 2018
“My family and I had the most amazing time at Faith Cottage and are already thinking about when we can go back.”

The cottage is even more beautiful in real life and all the thoughtful touches left by the owners make for the most wonderful stay!

The cottage for us, was the quintessential way to start our UK holiday. For us, we where using it as a base to visit the surrounding highlights but the cottage would also be suited to a quiet getaway being located in a very serene setting. Sykes cottages help and added local information provided was welcome for someone not familiar with the area.

Wuthin half an hour of walking in the front door my girlfriend and I had already decided we were coming back. The place was lovely and the owners very nice people. No doubt we will try other places but my girlfriend and I have decided this is our 'default' getaway we'll come back to again and again.

Mr Schofield, November 2018
“The owners did everything they could, to make it a lovely holiday for all the people who go there.”

Mrs Fussinger, October 2018
“Everything was lovely, but there is lack of heating in the bedrooms, a factor if staying there in cold weather.”

Mr Brightman, October 2018

So peaceful set back from the road so no traffic noise. Inside it has every thing you need and more. The furnishings of very good quality and well appointed. The beds are very comfortable, my wife and I had great nights sleep. There is every kitchen utensil that you will ever need, and plenty of crockery and cutlery. There is every a very high quality (so not dish washer safe) dinner and tea service. If you stay with children there is many outdoor, including an Wendy house and table tennis table and indoor board games, along with a large number of DVDs. The log burner in the lounge makes for a cosy evenings when it is cold outside. Logs are provide by the owners Colin and Carol, who live just across the lane. They are very welcoming and very accommodating without being intrusive to you holiday. We had a wonderful break in Faith Cottage and really highly recommend the whole experience.

“The cottage & gardens are lovely.”

The kitchen has everything you need & the whole holiday was so restful. A special touch were the flowers etc. left by Carol & Colin.

We are just returning from an amazing 2 weeks at Faith COTTAGE. Not only does it look beautiful but inside it is so well equipped. Carol and Colin have spent a long time making this cottage so special for our holidays. Everywhere you look there are fields and lovely views. Perhaps one thing I should mention that we needed to go out in the car every day as the nearest pub and shop were about 1.5 miles away . However there were great places to visit...Lavenham, Suffolk Owl Sanctuary with crazy golf, Bury St Edmunds itself, Ipswich, Norwich, Banham Zoo, Kentwell Hall and Gardens and so on....... But you will thoroughly feel at home at Faith COTTAGE. THOROUGHLY RECOMMENDED.

A charming, thatched cottage with a lovely big garden, every home comfort and the personal touches from the owners welcoming us to the cottage were the icing on the cake! A lovely quiet location too but a good base from which to explore the local area. The stairs are steep due to the history of the cottage, so not for everyone, but perfect for our family (children aged 7 and 9) and we can see ourselves coming back! Thank you Colin and Carol!

Mrs Walley, July 2018
“This was the best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in anywhere,every aspect exceeded expectaion and we will certainly be back .”

The owners are positively delightful and the welcome was superb.

Mr Tyson, July 2018
“Faith Cottage is the perfect place to get away and relax with all the comforts of home.”

The garden is beautiful and the owners are really welcoming and helpful.

Mr Watts, June 2018
“We had been looking forward to staying in Faith Cottage for several months, since making our booking, but had not anticipated the extent to which our hosts would go to make our stay so pleasant!”

Although the nearby roads were not so good for long walks (narrow, boring and at times dangerous), Faith Cottage is well situated for visiting B st E and many fascinating old villages. Check out the old house beside Cockfield parish church! We also enjoyed meals in both pubs in Hesset (great chips in the Bear!), as well as Hartest.

Owners friendly and welcoming. Lots of good things as welcome from fresh flowers to wine, cake, tea and milk. Weather was great so we loved sitting in the garden, but plenty of comfort indoors to snuggle if the weather had been bad. We will be back.

The bathroom was also uncomfortably cold. Ran out of hot water so couldnt have a shower. Towels provided were of very poor quality. Beds in the twin bedded room were very uncomfortable due to the quality of the mattresses. The springs in both mattresses could be felt.

We were greeted by the owners, who were lovely and showed us around. There was everything you need for a short break away, they even left us a bowl of fruit, sweets, milk and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy which was a nice surprise, and fresh flowers in all of the rooms. The house is quite cold in the winter, but the wood burner made it nice and cosy in the evenings.

Mr Hickman, January 2018

We were welcomed with a smile and wonderful welcome, Colin and Carol have made this place a dream come true, plus all the complimentary gifts as well, we had fantastic weather and chilled out, we really did not want to leave. Thank you both for letting us share your dream home, it is a privilege and honour to have met you both. We will return at some point, hopefully during the summer months. Thank you once again Clive & Susie Buckinghamshire

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.

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!

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.

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.
