Terrific accommodation - beautifully converted stables , well thought through lay out with spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and a very high standard of fittings inside and out, and - in our experience- an unusually comprehensive set of household equipment, including 3 televisions , a dvd player, excellent fans and a wide range of kitchen equipment. Very peaceful location. Perhaps a little far from the shops Hosts very friendly and helpful.Highly recommend!!

Mac Shack is so well appointed and comfortable and located in a lovely part of Suffolk. Becky and Chris were such excellent hosts, nothing was too much trouble. There was a lovely welcome pack when we arrived and a further treat of scones, cream and jam to surprise us later in the week. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at Mac Shack.
