What our customers say about their holidays

  • Mr Dyer - Verified booking

    WE LOVED STAYING IN THE OLD GRANARY AND THE STABLES - Our extended family (7 plus 2 dogs) booked this truly wonderful accommodation for the 4 days of Easter. Our hosts Rob and Bridget, were very kind and helpful. (My opening comment to them was the photos did not do the places justice..!!) We struggled to choose which of the 4 en suite bedrooms we each would have as the whole place is so wonderfully appointed and decorated... all high end appliances, furnishing and fittings. The fully walled, shared square courtyard with wisteria on the walls, shelters you from any breezes and is a wonderful warmth trap... the courtyard AND the garden is fully enclosed and totally child and dog safe... It was wonderful to go immediately on walks from immediately outside the property, the adjacent farmyard, which is concrete hard standing, is well cared and clean, and the grandchildren loved having the ponies nearby; ( for those not interested there was no noise and smell). The set up with grandparent having The Stables, which had a good sized living area which with the open plan kitchen enabled us, after agreement with the owners, to entertain some local family ... we ate our main meals together in The Old Granary A Truly Wonderful venue , which we were sad to leave..thank you once again.

  • Beth - Verified booking

    We had a wonderful stay at Penhaven and would highly recommend it as a base.

    It's very cosy, well equipped and in a great location- close to the beach, harbour and coast walks, right opposite the village store and a short walk to the always welcoming Paris pub. We were in Coverack with our 2 children for the 90th birthday party of a local family member at the beginning of January and we all loved seeing the colourful Christmas lights along the front, very festive! Things which would have been helpful - a hatchet/small axe for splitting firewood. Some of the logs were too big to be useful. We ended up borrowing one. - instructions for the Sky box, we couldn't work out how to use it! (We had our own devices, so wasn't a problem) - the kitchen table is very wobbly! We tried to stabilise it but couldn't. (also the chairs are extremely heavy - some people might struggle to lift them) - the oven could do with a clean. There was a strong greasy smell when it was turned on (possibly it was used to make a big Christmas dinner the week before?!) Anyway, all minor details - essentially it's a very lovely, comfortable cottage and we really enjoyed our time. Thank you!

  • Mr Lacey - Verified booking

    Honeysuckle cottage is such a comfortable and cosy, well equipped, dog friendly place to stay. Our Jack Russell terrier loved it, as did we! There was a much appreciated ‘welcome pack of goodies, and a generous basket of logs for the wood burner, great for winter. Clean, well designed and with a thoughtful contemporary feel, the cottage is located in a very interesting Suffolk village that includes a great Pub and an excellent local shop (that is so much more!) For local walks and to exercise the dog, there is also an excellent, extensive public common just a few hundred metres up the road with mown paths, running through hay meadows, a variety of wildlife habitats and ancient woodland. Walk the dog or jog for a mile or two. A great facility ‘on the doorstep!’. All in all, Honeysuckle cottage is thoroughly recommended. We certainly hope to return!!

  • Mrs Evans - Verified booking

    The cottage is clean and tidy and is a great bolt hole if you are looking to explore Suffolk. This cottage is a great size for a small family or for a couple who are keen walkers. The ‘nature’ reserve as the back garden is beautiful. It is well equipped for a self catering holiday, and the added air fryer was a welcomed extra. The country pub at the end of the road is award winning for its food and the staff were friendly. The meadow at the end of the road is beautiful for dog walkers or a picnic. The beach at Dunwich village is a 5 minute drive away and the parking fee is by donation. Would suggest beach shoes as the shingle beach was painful for our feet. The cafe at Dunwich beach served good food at reasonable prices.

  • Mr Breame - Verified booking

    My daughter, wife and I had a lovely week at Honeysuckle cottage. Our dog loved the walks around castle meadows opposite and we also found a lovely lake for dog swimming at Holton Pit two miles away plus excellent dog friendly beaches at Walberswick, Dunwich and Southwold Dene just a 15 minute drive away. The small but enclosed garden was also appreciated. The cottage has been recently refurbished with considerable taste and good quality items. Beds were very comfortable. Bramfield itself boasts a shop and the best of pubs in the Area: The Queens Head. So friendly, great food, even takeaways, and a fine garden overlooking the historic church. Great Location with the market town of Halesworth close by for a fine Coop store.
