Charming, cosy and quirky cottage which made us feel at home straight away and the bubbly in the fridge most welcome. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Beautiful wrap around garden with shade if you want it or open to the sun and views across the fields on the other side. Both pubs are very close, good for food and open all dRead moreay and the local shop is just across the road. Nice walks around the very pretty village. The locals are warm and friendly. Would definitely return. Hide

A lovely little find, we had a wonderful week in Sunnyside Cottage and gardens, Laxfield is a beautiful village and so very friendly. We headed out everyday on our adventures and felt completely at home and relaxed at the cottage in the evenings snug and warm by the fire. PS thank you for the welcome treats much appreciated.

Hidden gem of a lovely cottage in a quiet, friendly village. There is a choice of 3 gardens to sit and enjoy a variety of visiting birds & squirrels. 2 great pubs on the doorstep for drinks & food and sometimes live music and a local museum opposite to visit. There's a walking route of a few hours around the village to do. Easy access for travellRead moreing around Suffolk and Norfolk by car from the cottage. We felt like locals during our 2 week stay as everyone made us feel very welcome. We didn't want to leave as it was such a comfy home from home and the glorious Suffolk sunshine certainly helped! We're so glad we found it and we'd love to return. Hide
