The property was as described and offered many features and comforts; the little cosy lounge was exceptionally lovely to chill-out in after exploring the Suffolk countryside. The reception pack of wine and fresh bread etc was a lovely thought and most welcome. The only minor issue we had was with the ramp to the gravel driveway. As soon as the front wheels got on to the gravel, there was insufficient support and the car bottomed out scraping the ridge. Either the ramp is slightly too steep or the first foot or so of the gravel drive needs to be reinforced. However, this was easily overcome as there was sufficient room to park outside the lovely entrance gate to the property on the roadside. No doubt though, I would highly recommend this charming property to others for an ideal location to base your travels around mid & south Suffolk.

Not suitable for everyone as the stairs are very steep with a turn at the top but we had no problems. Clean and comfortable- as long as you mind your head on the low beams. The shower was difficult to maintain at a constant temperature. The gardener visited and did a thorough tidy up and we enjoyed sitting on the high patio with lovely views. The village is lovely and there is lots of information on walks and activities in the local area in the cottage.

It's in a lovely peaceful location and the cottage is very quirky. There were a couple of little points that would have made our stay better. The water pressure on both showers was not great. The garden was full of wildlife and a good size, however, it needed a lot more maintenance and wasn't as shown on the website. We struggled to locate the BBQ and when we did it we were put off using it as it was quite dirty with mold inside. Maybe a note to suggest people clean it for the next guests would help.
