    Sitting area : settee not comfortable,could do with two comfortable chairs . Cosy room. Safe but awkward parking. Sykes description “ outskirts of Saxmundham” a bit of a stretch when the cottage is some distance the other side of the A12 .

    The property was easy to find in the centre of a small, quiet village. The single storey barn conversion, across a large courtyard from the owner's property, was very clean, has a modern bathroom and a well equipped kitchen. In the evening we enjoyed sitting in the courtyard garden area listening to the birds singing.

  • "Small comfortable cottage in peaceful village."

    Ideal location for walks. We enjoyed our New Year break and would return. Small points, that did not spoil our visit but could enhance an already excellent property, we found the heating difficult to control, there was no cupboard space for our own supplies and a washing machine would be good for a longer stay.

  • "The facilities and equipment were the best , both in quality and comprehensive provision, we have had in a holiday cottage."

    The bathroom especially was sparklingly clean and the large walk in shower was perfect for my limited mobility, as was the whole of this all ground floor accommodation. The generous welcome pack was a lovely surprise and set the tone for the genuinely friendly, approachable and always helpful attitude of the owners. A cosy, relaxing retreat in beautiful countryside, with everything we could want , and within easy reach of the coast and pretty Suffolk villages.

    Thank you so much for your great review, it is much appreciated and makes it all worthwhile. Hope to see you again Glenys and Michael Property Owner

  • "The cottage was excellent as a base for visiting the coastal towns and villages, as well as a lovely place to come to at the end of the day."

    The living room felt spacious and if there is a cold evening we’d recommend the wood burner for extra coziness, though the electric heating is very efficient. We like cooking and the cottage had one of the most well-equipped kitchens I have ever seen - we didn’t have to use any of the utensils we brought with us. We cooked every night so it was great to have the dishwasher. The decor was modern but comfortable with interesting antique and vintage pieces. I’d imagine the cottage would also be perfect for a family as the kids can be in their room at one end of the living room, giving the adults a bit of space at the other end. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the local milk, eggs, bread and butter provided. We met Glenys briefly who was friendly and welcoming. We would happily stay here again if we had another holiday in the area.

    So kind! Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Best wishes Glenys and Michael Property Owner

    Good location to visit what Suffolk has to offer, perfect hosts who care for their guests. Peace and quiet for a relaxing stay. Kitchen has everything you need for a self catering break away, the level of kitchen equipment is over and beyond luxury - the batchroom is superb, walk in shower and all catered for - again over and beyond usual self catering breaks, The bedroom has everything required with good quality feather and down pillows and duvet. Living room/dining room has excellent comfortable facilities. We have never stayed anywhere in many years of self catering that the hosts have not thought of - even down to bread, butter, eggs and milk left for guests. The courtyard is completely private to use - cannot praise this excellent cottage enough. We shall definately be returning.

The town is well serviced with independent shops, local museum, supermarkets and a train station, as well as art galleries, a weekly market and a farmers’ market. Situated so close to the coast, Saxmundham is a great base for a seaside holiday; within easy reach of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, as well as Dunwich, Southwold and Walberswick, you could enjoy a different coastal location each day. Also close by is the inland market town Framlingham with beautiful historic architecture, a castle and an array of independent shops.
