Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews on cleanliness are mixed, with some guests satisfied, while others reported issues with blocked drains, mould, and the need for deeper cleaning. The property seems generally tidy, but there are suggestions for improvement.
The location is appreciated for its tranquillity and proximity to local amenities and attractions. However, some guests were disappointed with the immediate surroundings and the condition of the access road.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, noting a cosy atmosphere and a good night's sleep. Some criticism was directed towards the size of the bed and seating arrangements, suggesting room for enhancement.
Facilities are deemed basic but adequate by some, with essential amenities provided. However, there are remarks about the property being tired and dated, with suggestions for updating cooking equipment and lighting.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner towards the guests, hence a score cannot be provided.
About this property
Eye 4 miles. Hidden in the depths of the beautiful Suffolk countryside, just outside the village of Stoke Ash, is this detached, converted farm building which offers a rural retreat on a working arable and livestock farm. Well-appointed throughout, this Stoke Ash cottage is ideal for those wanting a romantic escape, where you can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. The cottage offers ground-floor accommodation with a well-equipped kitchen allowing your to cook up delicious meals, a sitting room and a double bedroom with an en-suite wet room. French doors from the sitting room lead out to a private, small garden area with patio and seating, which looks out to the lightly wooded area beyond, ideal for a chilled afternoon with a refreshing beverage. The nearby market town of Eye offers a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs along with the popular market town of Diss which offers rail links, museums and golfing opportunities. Within easy driving distance are the delights of the beautiful Suffolk coastline with Aldeburgh and Southwold both being nearby along with the RSPB site at Dunwich. Or you could spend a day exploring the city of Norwich, which is just a short drive away. A wonderful Stoke Ash cottage to be enjoyed at any time of the year.
