  The location is lovely.

  The cottage was disappointing as it needs a really good clean and some maintenance. The tap in the bathroom by the door needs mending and several of the interior doors are very difficult to shut or open. The en suite needs some love, its mouldy and shabby. There was dust and cobwebs and just general grubbiness which is such a shame as it is a lovely cottage and I'm sure the owner is paying someone to clean. I had to remove dust and cobwebs in the bedroom and clean the back of the loos and the back of the doors before we could hang things on them. The towel rail only worked with the heating, the electric element didn't work which was a shame because in warm weather you dont need the heating on, also there is no towel rail in the front bathroom. The listing needs to identify that there is a coffee maker and hairdryer as we packed these bulky items but arrived to find them in the cottage. Also to advise that there are more comfortable garden chairs, windbreaks for the beach and even bikes in the laundry shed. The garden is lovely but I think the listing should highlight that the walls/fences are quite low to alert dog owners. The cottage is very well equipped. One thing I would suggest is summer weight duvets would be nice. One mattress is quite firm the other rather soft and uncomfy so a topper would improve both. The dining chairs are not comfortable which would be an issue if there were 4 large-ish adults as there wouldn't be enough seating to watch tv comfortably for example. The cottage is in a superb position close to many lovely places and whilst I would return to this area I would choose a different cottage I am afraid, possibly even the adjoining cottage. This is a shame particularly as other recent guests mentioned the mattress and the cleanliness I had hoped the owner might have improved things.

  Upon our arrival at around 15.

  03pm the man who was cleaning the property was just coming out and he asked if we were going in and left the key in the door for us and said he hoped we enjoyed our stay. When we got into the property, I wish I had known that there wouldn't be any toilet roll as I would have taken some with me...I had to go and buy some. The facilities were amazing it had so much stuff , from absolutely everything you could need in the kitchen to binoculars on the living room window. The bed's were comfortable as was the sofa. I was a little concerned about the low fence height in the gardens but I had seen this from the photo's of the property....I just made sure our dog's were not left unattended in the garden, as there were sheep one side and cow's the other side. Just a little bit of feedback for the owners...there was quite a lot of dust in the 2 double bedrooms and on window sills, skirting boards and low ledges in the bathroom off of the kitchen and some cobwebs....the owners are probably paying a cleaning company quite a bit to do this properly....but saying this I would still go back to garden cottage it is beautiful....the children's bedroom is fantastically equipped, there is even toy's in the living room and garden. The whole area is amazing....I had only booked the property a week before we arrived as we needed to get away after our son's funeral. I was going to leave a note in the guest book but forgot to do it ....thank you it was a break that we really enjoyed and needed.

  We had a lovely stay at Hillcrest, stayed with a couple of friends and there was plenty of room space, comfortable and nice and warm, as the weather turned cold later in our week.

  The kitchen was really well appointed apart from lack of food cupboard space, just a small empty cupboard for bread, cereals and snacks would be useful. We also found the windows on the ground floor impossible to open, it was really warm on our first day and had to open the front door to get some air through. We had forgotten our board games so was pleased to read that games were in the sideboard, but again couldn’t open the cupboard. As mentioned by previous visitors, the bathroom of the double bedroom would really benefit from having a proper shower, but these are really only minor points and wouldn’t stop us from booking again. We all felt at home very quickly. We used the games room a couple of times, excellent facilities, didn’t use the pool as it was booked the times we would have used but again it looked excellent, didn’t realise we needed the key with the fob attached (probably our fault but didn’t read this in the information guide). We did have a lovely week and thank you for a great stay at Hillcrest.

  Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely property.

  It exceeded our expectations with the added bonus of the communal games room (pool, table tennis and table football) which the whole family enjoyed. Perfect spot for seeing the highlights of Suffolk and the grounds were lovely too. It was really interesting to read about the history of the building in the information book. Thanks also for the lovely welcome gift, which was most appreciated. Would 100% stay again if we come back to Suffolk. (One minor point of feedback is that the number on the designated parking spot was missing, so couldn't find it until we looked in the information book, but also meant other people parked in this space. Easily rectified, I'm sure.

  We had a wonderful relaxing break at The Barn, it was so peaceful and the views across the countryside are lovely.

  Nothing was too much trouble for Debbie and Barry who are the loveliest of hosts; we're grateful too to Becca for letting our 4 year old son help with feeding and grooming Alfie the Shetland pony, it was the highlight of our son's holiday. The Barn is perfectly placed for easy access to the A59 so York, Knaresborough and Harrogate are easily reached. The facilities are very good and we felt at home straight away, especially on the large corner sofa, and the weather was warm enough to sit outside most evenings enjoying the peace and quiet of the large garden. Our stay was everything we hoped it would be and we're looking forward to our return visit in 2023.
