This is a nice and well equipped property in an area that lends itself to exploring Suffolk. Anyone with a dog or a problem with dogs should be aware that the owners have a couple of dogs themselves that share the garden area. The nearby trainline wasn't an issue - you could hear a train rumble by from time to time, but this was no problem.

Fantastic place to stay. Stunning interior and kitchen. Open plan was very good for our small group of friends but at the same time was very cosy and comfortable. Bluetooth mirror a big plus for playing tunes. Were quite a few trains passing but we were aqare of this when we booked and they didnt dusturb us too much. Would definately return :)

Fabulous holiday, everything you could need was available with the exception of toilet rolls! Heating was perfect, lovely and warm although the shower could've done with being hotter. Spacious accommodation, lots of room for storage of clothes and wine, wifi was excellent, mirror in the bathroom wowed everyone! Worth noting, there is a train track Read moreat the bottom of the garden (very close) so might be worth bringing earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Would definitely come again :) thankyou Hide

Thoroughly enjoyed our family stay in this stunning accommodation with fantastic hosts onsite to make your stay special. Lots of garden space for the kids to run around and play and an additional surprise with the owner's horses situated at the bottom of the garden. Lots to do and see in the local village and excellent public transport allowing youRead more to explore other areas. Highly recommend this holiday home and we will be back soon Hide
