  • "Red Robin was extremely well equipped, cosy and warm."

    The garden was dog proof, so didn't have to worry when letting him out. A lovely rural setting with plenty of walks around. Also close to Bury St Edmunds which we enjoyed wandering around the quaint streets.

  • "We had a lovely 5 days at Red Robin and owners Janice & Kevin are very good hosts."

    The microwave gave up and Janice immediately replaced with a very good Kenwood; this was all set up and waiting when we arrived back after our day out. The accommodation and extras were superb and a lovely "welcome pack" was very much appreciated. The property is warm and cosy, the beds comfortable, the linen and towels brilliantly white and soft. We hope to visit again, and our thanks and best wishes to Janice and Kevin.

    We came back after four years and the cottage was well maintained and very comfortable. The welcome pack was luxurious and thoughtful. Thank you, Janice! We look forward to being back again!

  • "We arrived just before Christmas to a beautifully lit barn complete with door wreath, tree and an array of Christmas trimmings."

    There was a beautiful Christmas hamper there to welcome us. Beds were very comfortable, lovely fluffy towels, all cooking and serving accessories were available and there was plenty of parking. The outside paved space was great for the dogs to exercise in and limited any dirt being brought in although I would suggest a doormat by the patio doors to further eliminate this

    We were so happy you had a lovely Christmas in Red Robin. We take all comments on board and a mat has now been placed by the french doors. Thank you for your generous feedback Janice Property Owner

  • "Lovely stay."

    Very peaceful. The patio is a real sun trap so you can easily enjoy a meal in the garden when the sun is out. Kitchen is well stocked with utensils etc. Bathrooms are lovely and the underfloor heating makes it even better. There is only one way to improve this property and that would be a hot tub!

  • "We had a lovely time in Red Robin."

    It was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. So lovely to be able to take 3 dogs as well. I had an issue with a blind that was replied to very swiftly. The only thing I can think of that could possible make it better for dog owners is to have the whole area fenced, the area under the hedge is not and we hadn’t noticed and our dogs got out. We kept an eye on them after that! Other than that the cottage was fabulous and would recommend to anyone. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The whole of the garden area has now been fenced and is fully secure for dogs. Thank you for your feedback Janice Property Owner

  • "This was our second stay at Red Robin and I am sure it won’t be our last."

    The home is very comfortable and well equipped with a good supply of essentials and cleaning materials. Staying over New Year we appreciated the Christmas touches and it was nice to have a good selection of games, books and dvd’s. Our only suggestions would be to supply a couple of smaller saucepans and replace the non stick frying pan.

    Thank you for your feedback - I have added 2 new small saucepans to Red Robin Janice Property Owner
