Pretty, well equipped cottage, great place to explore the area from. Having the hot tub after a day out was a lovely way to relax.

Our stay at The Old Stables was truly wonderful, surrounded by beautiful countryside and well maintained grounds and gardens. Everything has been well thought out, the bedrooms are identical and spacious, lots of natural light upstairs from the many skylights, the kitchen is fully equiped, the sitting room is cozy and the hot tub was lovely. The hosts kindly sent the welcome guide and a walking app prior to our stay which was very helpful and responded quickly from start to finish. We felt very comfortable and relaxed. Lovely walks around the farm with the dogs, everyone was happy. Thank you for the welcome hamper!

Lovely barn with great facilities. We had a lovely long weekend with our Boxer Harper who enjoyed the fully enclosed beautiful garden. A well equipped and maintained holiday home with a very nice welcome pack. Relaxing in the hot tube after spending time exploring Suffolk and Norfolk was an added bonus.Although the barn is in a bit of an isolated spot, the owners beautiful grounds are ample enough to give our dog the freedom to have her daily exercise.We would definitely recommend.
