  What can I say about Bumbles Retreat!

  !! FANTASTIC, BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE PEACE & QUIET . Simply the BEST place to totally relax,chill out to recharge our batteries . We also had lovely weather, which was a bonus.Everything you could think of was provided, a tin of treats for our boy FLINT & a lovely basket of goodies for us. Our hosts too were so lovely, they've created a wonderful Retreat ❤️& I would highly recommend going there if you need to totally relax. Flint,our dog had a brilliant time to, so much room to run around as much as he wanted, in pastures of wild grasses & flowers &plenty of 'sniffs' to explore. Seeing the beautiful Barn Owl 4 out of the 5 nights was a huge bonus, plus all the other wildlife too. Local pub is great for either a takeaway or on Wednesdays, a gorgeous Roast, with digs allowed inside, perfect for us. We didn't want to leave! Will certainly be visiting you again in the future

  I recently stayed at Bumbles Retreat and had the most wonderful experience.

  The peaceful, idyllic scenery was exactly what I needed for a relaxing getaway. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making sure everything was just perfect. The shepherd’s hut is beautifully done up with so much attention to detail, from the cute bathroom to the cozy little reading lights. The bed was super comfy, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the hut had everything you could possibly need for a long weekend away. Little touches like the baskets with wine and beer, as well as books, really added to the charm. For dog owners, they’ve thought of everything – there was even a little bag of goodies and treats for my dog, Bandit, which was such a thoughtful touch. The whole atmosphere at Bumbles Retreat is peaceful and serene, making it a perfect escape. I can’t recommend it enough – we had a lovely time and will definitely be back!

  We had a lovely week at Grange Barn.

  Peter and Julie made sure that we had everything we needed. The barn is immaculate and in my view the photos don’t do it justice. It has been restored to a high standard throughout with oak doors, floors and beautiful beams. The barn is well equipped with everything you need. The courtyard garden is very peaceful and is a real sun trap which we used at breakfast, mid afternoon and for a barbecue one evening. The bed was large and very comfortable and the bath in the bedroom whilst watching television was great. As we were on holiday with our dog we planned lots of walks - highlights were Thetford Forest, Southwold and some circular walks downloaded from the Suffolk council website which were well described with an ordnance survey extract. Thank you for letting us stay in your barn. Hopefully we will return soon.

  Lovely accommodation, very high spec.

  Good for doggies as it is all enclosed at the back, small courtyard and bbq area, nice comfy garden chairs. Fabulous upstairs, great bedroom and good shower, really nicely done. Only negative is the same as the other review, the dining table and chairs really let it down, only really suitable for breakfast, there is plenty of room for a bigger, comfier one. We ate in a lot at night as the weather was pretty unkind and we had our dog and use a dining table a lot. On a plus side the oven was very efficient and the downstairs loo an added bonus!

  Yes You did not tell us that the local pub was closed and was only reopening as we left.

  There was no dish washer or washing machine which we would have expected. The kitchen was lacking the following: no Milk jug we managed with measuring jug, no Casserole dish- we bought one, no garlic press, wooden spoon or spatula, as we were now doing more cooking these would have been helpful. The table for dining at was on the small size and no fruit bowl Disappointed that Sykes had not sorted all this out before we went on holiday.
