What a wonderful seven days in this lovely cottage. A wonderfully equipped kitchen and a beautiful lounge/dining room. One large master bedroom and one smaller room with two single beds. A shower room finished off the property. The gardens are fantastic with lots of wildlife to enjoy and the welcome pack, plus drinks and dairy products was much morRead moree than expected and mush more than we have experienced in any other rental we have had, I could not believe that this property only had four stars. It's five stars plus from us. Situated in a very quiet village, with it's own long driveway, it is so quiet, yet you are only a short driving distance from Hadleigh and Sudbury. A mode of transport is definitely a must as there is very little available in the village, apart from a very nice ublic house with lovely food. We wish we could have stayed longer. Hide

Wood Lodge was everything that we had hoped for. It was incredibly warm and cosy and all the extra little touches made us feel instantly as home and so very welcome. We made the most of the location by jumping on the bikes, so kindly lent to us to adventure out. We look forward to returning and would recommend the cottage without hesitation.
