Comfortable period cottage in delightful quiet location
The cottage was very well presented with all facilities we expected and the location next to the old farmhouse was wonderfully rural and quiet. Saxmundham with shops etc is a short drive, and there are many other lovely places in the area.

Lovely stay near Minsmere
Really nice experience in booking and pre- information. The cottage is annexed to a main farm house and sits in the grounds of an old farm. It's really secluded and beautiful place to stay. It's really close to RSPB Minsmere where we spent much of our 3 day stay and close to Southwold which is a well worth spending time. The cottage is very clean, spacious and good amenities, I would highly recommend

A little slice of tranquility
My family and I had the most wonderful stay for 2 nights. We wished it could have been longer. The house is lovely, quaint, clean and quiet. We really enjoyed the quietness of the area and lack of road noise. There is very little light pollution so the skies at night were spectacular. There are beautiful old trees and a fantastic meadow in front of the property teaming with butterflies. The owners are really lovely and couldn’t have done more to make our stay better.. thank you so much. We’ll be back!

Such a peaceful and tranquil place to stay but near to so many lovely places to spend the day. The cottage really does have everything you can think of & is spotlessly clean. We had some lovely days out and excellent meals at nearby towns. Perfect stay with friends. 5⭐️

Peaceful Cottage
A clean, comfortable very well equipped cottage. The owners are friendly and welcoming, a lovely array of beverages & biscuits were awaiting us. The cottage is in a large garden & you are free to wander and it is very quiet. We enjoyed watching the bats in the evenings & the relaxed atmosphere.

Getting away from it all . . . .
The property was perfect for our needs and set in beautiful surroundings with not a streetlight or siren around - no pollution of any kind. The sun shone on the patio every morning even on duller and windy days! The local town, a short drive away, had everything we wanted including a railway station. Lots of pretty villages in the surrounding area and everyone was very friendly.

Perfect cottage in a perfect county :-)
The directions were easy to follow and the situation was wonderful: fantastic views, close to facilities but it felt like we were miles from anywhere. The cottage is just lovely, so peaceful and relaxing. Extremely comfortable and with a great welcome. Wonderful places to visit: Snape, Aldeburgh, Leiston Abbey, Dunwich Heath, Thorpeness to name but a few. Within an hour we were already planning our next visit!

Peaceful and relaxing stay.
We stayed as a family of 4 with two kids aged 6 and 9. The location was perfect for us to reach areas we wanted to visit without having to drive more than 30 minutes. Southwold was a highlight and we enjoyed a delightful dinner at the Boarding House in Halesworth. Orford Quay was also brilliant and Caroline was so kind as to share a crabbing line and net so our boys could spend a morning crabbing on the quay. There was a day where we had poor weather but that didn’t dampen our spirits and we spent it playing board games and puzzles available in the cottage. An 8 minute drive got us into Saxmundham for a takeaway, and at the Pinch Cafe down the road you could pick up some delicious dessert pastries and coffee. The garden was very relaxing and we exercised here and played football when the sun came out. Communication with Caroline was excellent. We needed to adjust our stay due to work and was able to do this with ease. We can understand why there are so many repeat visitors! We hope to be one of them too. Thanks for the warm welcome Caroline. It was so lovely to spend time in such a beautiful part of the country and decompress from London life if only for a few days.
