  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.

  The cottage was much as listed with the exception that the garden was not as pictured in the advert.

  It was overgrown with weeds and not comfortable to sit in, large shoulder high thistles in the drive way made it difficult to exit the car. Hippo bags of rubbish and weeds were piled around one side of the house. In side the house it was dusty and there were a few items that require attention. Such as: The latch on the upstairs bathroom door was missing a screw. There were missing pads on the underside of the toilet seat in the same bathroom. The pull light switch in the downstairs toilet did not always work. Two blinds were not in place in the living room. The vaccum cleaner had no instructions and was not charged up. Only one smoke alarm was noted in the bathroom, none seen in the rest of the house. No escape route from the upper level in the event of a fire. No extractor fan in the downstairs bathroom.

  Beautiful old cottage well preserved and presented.

  BUT… radiators were not adjustable, they were locked. TV very difficult to operate and cut out after two hours. No local tv news. Window blinds in lounge broken and need replacing. Door into bathroom needs latch repaired and swings back too hard. Bath edge was at least 3’high and wash hand basins were 4’high. Totally impractical for short people or children. Shower downstairs was poor and extremely cramped. No electric sockets near mirrors for hair dryers. Dishwasher and fridge had no visible mains switch. Dishwasher stayed on for 24hours. No freezer section in fridge. No washing line. No teapot. AND the lovely huge garden was neglected and overgrown. Long wet grass, dead flowers in pots, weeds etc. Steps up to garden furniture had no hand rails and, considering the height, seemed rather dangerous.
