  A lovely location, very easy to find, with a lovely lake and large garden.

  Any criticism here is intended to assist the owner, who we never met, but don't let it put you off staying, as we had an enjoyable stay. There is one larger bedroom with an ensuite shower room and another with three single beds, two very close together, with a bathroom, which I assumed was meant for children. We asked for single beds and we were allocated the children's room. Upstairs is a lovely large kitchen / living room, which was very comfortable. There were sufficient plates, cups, etc. a welcome pack of cookies, a cake, and milk in the fridge, and a voucher for the local farm shop. The grounds had plenty of places to sit and relax. It is shared with other residents who, in our case, were out all day so we had the sunny garden to ourselves, although a pump was going all day long in an adjacent field on one day and on another there was loud music from somewhere and that did spoil the peace and quiet that we had hoped to find before we went off on the next leg of our trip. Mind you, as the holiday properties are on a farm I suppose we should have expected noise. As for the accommodation it was very comfortable, mostly clean, although the windows and oven could have done with some attention. There is a laundry room, which needed a good clean, for example the tumble dryer filter was full of fluff (which I cleaned out) and the sink and room in general was grubby. As a previous review said, there was no hair dryer, so I took my own, and plugged it in fhe hall. An iron and ironing board in the cottage would have been more convenient too. Overall this is very comfortable accommodation, great for a family, and the other cottages had families in them who enjoyed using the BBQ and outside space. We would return to the cottages the next time we drive through that area, although we would probably stay in one of the single storey cottages as I have some mobility issues and found the stairs to the living room difficult to walk up, but that was my fault in not reading the description fully before booking.

  In a delightful situation with walks to the coast path.

  Orford Village for shopping and a great pub at Snape (Golden Key) are nearby. Very quiet and peaceful. Friendly owners welcomed us on arrival. The rooms were large with a big table in the kitchen, comfy sofa and bed and a very nice smart TV. Powerful shower much appreciated. First impressions were, however, disappointing - the garden was unkempt and the grass in the large front garden (dog secure) hadn't been cut for weeks. The back garden was even worse - hadn't been cut for months. Bulbs missing in equipment - the cooker hood had no bulbs in it so they had obviously gone some time ago and not been replaced. A particular problem as the light in the ceiling was obscured when you stood in front of the appliance. The standard lamp in the sitting room, the only alternative light source to the ceiling light, did not have a bulb in it. When the owner supplied one we discovered that there was no plug socket near enough to switch it on so it obviously had not been used for some time. Reorganising the furniture was necessary to have subdued light in the evening. There were only 3 water glasses for a cottage sleeping 5, a motley selection of 5 forks and 5 mugs which was OK for the 2 of us but would have been v inconvenient for a full house. The drinking water jerrican was an inconvenience we had not anticipated. There were other maintenance issues which I could list but the above provides a flavour. Reading previous reviews it was apparent that our predecessors had made comments on maintenance before. As we left in heavy rain the roof was leaking in the lobby at the back of the kitchen and the farm roads were rather frighteningly flooded on the way out. We had a lovely time in Ferry Cottage and the weather was superb for our stay apart from the last day, but I rather felt that too little effort had been made to prepare the cottage for visitors. I have not stayed in a property like this for years and I take 5 or 6 cottage holidays in the UK each year.

  The cottage was freezing when we arrived so we spent the first night in coats.

  The welcome pack was nice and included ground coffee but no cafetiere or anything to make it with. I rang the number but they were no help. I did find a cocktail shaker with a dead fly in it though. The TV batteries were dead and no spares in the man drawer. There are CDs but no CD player, videos but no video player. There are candles dotted around but the instruction booklet said candles weren't allowed. The kitchen could have done with scissors and tongs. The downstairs shower room never got warm enough to use. Some of the curtains could have done with being a bit shorter so they would fit behind the radiators better. The cold water feed in the upstairs bathroom was worse than the hot water feed. There was a freezer but it was in an outside shed so probably wouldn't work in cold weather. The drive is constructed such that you scrape the bottom of the car on entering. I had to park in an unlit road. To get recycling instructions you had to type in a long URL to get to the county council information. I didn't bother. The cottage itself was fabulous. Uneven floors, small doors, cosy rooms; all quaint features you'd expect from a 17th century building. It is barely overlooked. The garden is huge. It's nice to see they've not sold it off. There's a lookout table and chairs at the highest point, but you have to avoid the dog pooh on the steps.

  A thoroughly enjoyable and welcoming place to stay and in a fantastic location.

  The property was as described and offered many features and comforts; the little cosy lounge was exceptionally lovely to chill-out in after exploring the Suffolk countryside. The reception pack of wine and fresh bread etc was a lovely thought and most welcome. The only minor issue we had was with the ramp to the gravel driveway. As soon as the front wheels got on to the gravel, there was insufficient support and the car bottomed out scraping the ridge. Either the ramp is slightly too steep or the first foot or so of the gravel drive needs to be reinforced. However, this was easily overcome as there was sufficient room to park outside the lovely entrance gate to the property on the roadside. No doubt though, I would highly recommend this charming property to others for an ideal location to base your travels around mid & south Suffolk.
