We had such lovely, relaxing break. The property was beautifully finished and we loved the thoughtful extras like the binoculars and blankets, plus the fresh milk, coffee, biscuits & dog treats left for us to enjoy on arrival. The property is located in gorgeous countryside with so many footpaths to explore right on the doorstep. We loved watching Read morethe wildlife out of the windows, and particularly enjoyed watching the hares playing every evening. We genuinely didnt want to come home and will definitely visit again.

This is a cosy but comfortable and well equipped property. Well located with a number of places of interest within a short distance. The full length windows and doors, especially in the bedroom give's great views across the Suffolk countryside, and the view from the bath provides an added luxury.

Whilst this is in a lovely location with peaceful vista and great wildlife, we found this cottage disappointing and not worth the price charged. The bifold doors were broken and couldnt be used, the cottage was not very clean and a bit shabby in multiple respects.

The Old School House is a fantastic property to stay at. It is very relaxing with impressive countryside views all round, we even saw a barn owl in the back garden. We loved our stay here. The only slight issue we had was with the property draining system but I believe the owners are aware of the problem and are planning to fix it.
