What our customers say about their holidays

• Miss Cameron - Verified booking

  A beautiful old large Georgian Farm house nestled in the countryside. We had a lovely holiday just lacks attention to detail. On arrival we were disappointed with the cleanliness. Windows haven’t been cleaned in months. Spiders everywhere. Nice large kitchen with everything you need however we had to rinse most things before using. Sunroom has ‘Blown’ windows which spoils the beautiful views. Furniture is well worn so throws are used to cover them. Mismatch of colour schemes. Master bedroom is lovely with comfy beds. No shower in the en-suite. Toilet roll holder not attached to the wall. No bin / lid for sanitary products. A lot of Harvest spiders. Towels are old. No dressing table. The other bedrooms are quite dated again with a mismatch of colour schemes. Main bathroom has no shower. The bath had not been cleaned. Another Toilet roll holder not attached to the wall. Shower is in the downstairs utility room The positives are : Its a fantastic location close to Bungay shops & pubs. Resident pony called Rosie was a delight to meet every morning either in her stable of out in her paddock. We all slept like babies on the most comfortable beds. Large spacious property with a large garden with a pond at the end. Saw my 1st Kingfisher catching her dinner. Blessed. Really enjoyable stay so the positives out way the negatives. Note : Dogs on the lead around the farm and land.

  This is a gorgeous, well-appointed and extremely cosy cottage. The property has been well-decorated and maintained with some lovely touches, the kitchen has more than enough for a family of four, being very well-stocked and the relaxing corner on the landing upstairs was such a pleasant addition! Our children were thrilled to stay here, they didn't want to leave! We particularly enjoyed having the views of the fields and country landscape, we loved spying horses in the nearby paddock and the local rabbits grazing at dusk in the fields. It was a very welcome short break from city life in the London suburbs. The garden was large enough to have a kick-about but felt safe and enclosed - it was a shame the weather wasn't a bit better as we would have loved to have dinner alfresco and spent a bit more time relaxing on the patio. Overall, it was a very comfortable stay and the location in Snape Watering is close to all the local attractions in this part of Suffolk - Aldeburgh, Snape Maltings, Orford, Woodbridge, Saxmundham etc are all within close driving distance. In conclusion, we'd like to say a big thank you to the Peacocks for a great stay.

  The charming and peaceful location is lovely but could not quite compensate for the fact that this pleasant house has seen too many visitors and now needs to upgrade some tired and rather grubby (it has to be said) floor coverings and soft furniture.

  Obviously, your publicity photos were taken a long time ago ! The patio furniture was comfortable but crammed onto a poor space which could do with a pressure wash and some attention to encroaching vegetation. The front large patio, ideal for al fresco dining, was devoid of any furniture at all which was a pity and equally needs a good scrub. Hot water was ‘on demand’ but our demands were often ignored, particularly at the bathroom wash basin and the shower controls were aging and rather ‘cranky’ . You’ll love the location but perhaps conclude, as we did, that it’s time some money was spent to upgrade the facilities as this cottage does not currently justify the premium price bracket that it’s in . Our hosts were friendly and approachable and in spite of the criticisms we enjoyed our stay not least because of the glorious September weather.

  We stayed at Poppy Cottage over Christmas.

  It was cosy enough to stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Suffolk countryside, punctuated only by the ducks on the pond and the faint noise of a train in the distance, while also being close enough to so many wonderful locations when we felt like venturing out. Poppy Cottage is probably the best situated of the cottages in the complex for huddling down in bad weather; it looks out onto the sheltered courtyard, so we never felt battered by the occasional squalls of heavy wind and rain. When the weather permitted, we took trips to Aldeburgh, Sutton Hoo, and Framlingham, all of which were short pleasant drives; the location really couldn't be better. Lyndsey was friendly and helpful, and dropped by with mince pies to make us feel welcome. I can highly recommend a stay at Poppy Cottage.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay in Bird Cottage which incorporated New Year and we couldn’t have wished for more.

  The cottage was decorated with a beautiful real Christmas tree and other decorations. The owner, Bill, met us on the night we arrived and explained how the log burner worked and to help ourselves to logs throughout our stay which was really welcome as the weather was particularly cold. The cottage is situated in the grounds of Burg House and was so quiet with only a few estate vehicles coming through. The cottage was beautifully furnished with everything we needed for our stay and our dog was well entertained with all the beautiful grounds to run in and walks right from the door. All in all, it was a superb stay and we highly recommend Bird Cottage to anyone seeking a relaxing, quiet break in Suffolk.
