Wonderfully warm and peaceful cottage, with a lovely open fire for relaxing in front of in the evenings. Kitchen was fully equipped and all appliances were easy to use. Bathroom has a nice big bath and also has a nice power shower, both great after a decent day's walk! The main bedroom was very spacious and the large bed was extremely comfortable, Read moreresulting in a great night sleep. The large garden was fantastic, with lots of seats and benches throughout the garden to allow a different view at any time of day, and even though we stayed during a damp January/February it was still nice to be able to sit out in the garden in the morning whilst having breakfast and a cup of tea. Cannot fault the cottage or the location. Overall it was one of the best holiday cottages I have stayed in, and will return again! Hide

We really enjoyed our stay at Mill Cottage. Its a beautiful location that is very unspoilt. The property itself is modern but has a charm of days gone by and is very quaint. The bedrooms are a great size. The gardens are beautiful and large surrounded by great views. Perfect for a family of four and easily accessible to other parts of Suffolk.

Mill Cottage is an idyllic retreat! The cottage is cosy and comfortable and the 1 acre garden is beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are comfy. During our 7 night stay we only went out for 2 days as we felt so relaxed and enjoyed sitting in the garden so much, we didn't want to leave! Our two Bernedoodle dogs had the most amaziRead moreng time enjoying the freedom and exploration in the garden, as I'm sure children would too! There are seats dotted around the garden to take in the different aspects of it and to enjoy its beauty. We know the area well and there is plenty to do and see, if you choose to, in the surrounding area. The local pub, a brief walk away, offers some tasty meals on it's menu. There are some nice walks from the cottage. We highly recommend and will be returning for sure :) Hide
