Very peaceful setting on a farm overlooked by a manor house. Plenty of room to walk the dog.

A lovely peaceful location, very welcoming and pleasant hosts (without being intrusive), the facilities lacked for nothing, we couldn't have wished for better. The nearby town of Harleston was very pleasant, even on a wet day. Around and about the cottage we spotted a deer, pheasant, wren and bats - excellent. Would definitely visit again. Many thanks, Keith and Ann 😁

We had a fabulous week at the cottage. If you’re looking for a peaceful, rural location, then this is for you. It was lovely to be able to walk out the door in to the beautiful Suffolk countryside. We were made to feel welcome on arrival. The cottage was spotlessly clean. Bed and bedding were very comfortable, along with the peace meant a good nights sleep. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need… and more! We enjoyed exploring Suffolk. Particular highlights were Southwold, Framingham, Woodbridge, Ickworth NT, Sutton Hoo NT.
