Guests say
Sycamore Farmhouse receives glowing praise for its spacious, beautifully appointed interiors, excellent amenities including a hot tub and sauna, and welcoming hosts. Guests consistently highlight the comfort of the beds, the well-equipped kitchen, and the secure garden, making it ideal for families and dog owners. The opportunity to meet Highland cattle is a unique bonus. Minor issues such as occasional maintenance needs and farm-related flies are mentioned but do not detract from overwhelmingly positive experiences. The property is highly recommended for relaxing group getaways in a peaceful rural setting.
Reviews consistently describe the property as spotlessly clean, with particular mention of clean bathrooms, bedrooms, and communal areas. Only one or two minor comments about the log burner and pool table maintenance, but these did not affect overall impressions.
Guests appreciate the peaceful rural setting, proximity to Ipswich and local attractions, and easy access via the A14. The location is described as both tranquil and convenient, with only minor notes about rural roads lacking footpaths.
The farmhouse is repeatedly praised for its exceptionally comfortable beds, spacious rooms, and cosy living areas. Guests of all ages, including families and groups, felt well accommodated and relaxed throughout their stay.
Facilities such as the hot tub, sauna, games rooms, and well-equipped kitchen are frequently highlighted as outstanding. Occasional issues (e.g., a broken dishwasher or boiler) were promptly addressed by the hosts and did not significantly impact guest satisfaction.
Many guests mention thoughtful touches such as welcome gifts (wine, cake, fruit loaf), plentiful kitchen supplies, and dog-friendly provisions. While these gestures are appreciated, please note that such gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

We stayed at Sycamore Farm to celebrate an 80th birthday. I can honestly say it was probably the best rental we have stayed in. The house itself is beautiful, comfortable and every little detail has been thought about. The hot tub and sauna were a big hit as were the games rooms. The highlight was seeing the cows including a three day old calf. Graeme could not have been more accommodating. Thank you. We will be rebooking.

Welcomed by Carol and shown around, fantastic farm house, so well equipped with everything that would be need, very clean, with lovely bedding and towels. Lots of extras provided. 3 generations had plenty to do, the hot tub was wonderful, as was the pool/snooker table/ games room and darts room. Garden was very secure for our little JRT who loved running up and down alongside the owners 2 labs who were in their own run, plenty of doggies accessories provided. Very quiet and two lovely big tables to all eat around and enjoy a family meal. Our grandchildren have already decided we will all be going back as they had such a great time. (So much so they didn’t even get on their phones they were so busy). Definately would recommend and we will certainly be booking again. One small thing, hooks would have been handy to hang gowns/towels for the hot tub 🙂. Thank you for the memories made.
