  Quaint,very picturesque Tudor property.

  Extremely well presented.. All the amenities of home. parking space to the rear with plenty of room. A short walk around the corner you enter a short gated walk way into a well laid out. sunny patio area. In through the front door The kitchen and living area all together as you enter. All you need for any home cooking. Plenty of pans and dishes and a few nice touches like small pails for egg cups and patterned cups.. Modern fitted kitchen with electric hob and oven, Small fridge freezer ,microwave cooker and washer/dryer.. Nice sharp knives and decent cutlery. The living area had a 3 seat leather sofa and 2 soft fabric chairs facing the chimney breast. A nice stock of books ,games and local information in the book case. A table and 4chairs that can be extended underneath the leaded window.. Up the small staircase to the carpeted hallway with loads of storage and head room. Bathroom facing, again modern with a bit of classic thrown in. Nice big shower and separate free standing cast iron bath, sink and toilet , leaded window. Large bedroom to the right with wardrobe side tables and chest of drawers. Very comfortable bed. Angled ceiling to the front. leaded window. across the landing , bedroom 2. large room with hanging rail and chest of drawers. Single bed underneath the window and another underneath the eves.. Loads of headroom upstairs, not so much downstairs with character original beams and white painted plaster throughout. Well planned, out and very clean in every aspect . Near to all the history of Stratford. Shops and pubs/ eateries within walking distance. We only used the car once while here . I would recommend this place to anyone .Communication with the agent was excellent. Everything you could wish for in a short break or longer at any time of year. Thankyou for a great vacation home.

  The Little House is in a perfect location for Woodbridge, with the quayside, boatyards, river walks and shopping all within walking distance, plus a parking space which is a bonus in Woodbridge. But it's let down by being a bit grubby with cleanliness obviously not a priority. Furniture and equipment is old, but old doesn't have to be dirty. The worst was that there was no hot shower until a plumber came to fix it the day before we left, and the bathroom extractor didn't work. Poor to non existent communication from the letting agent was disappointing to say the least. And 2 hours after checking out, having received no check out instructions except the check out time, I received a text advising me to vacate the property by 10 am TOMORROW ! So someone had messed up the booking, and it wasn't me.... I will not be booking a holiday let through Suffolk Secrets / Original Cottages again, nor will I stay at The Little House again!

  There is no doubt that Masons Court is a wonderful historic building in a very convenient location.

  The courtyard was a bonus, and safe for our little dog, as long as other resident’s didn’t leave the gate open. I’m afraid I have to agree with the previous reviewer about the level of comfort. The bed is the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept in! The kitchen area is very small, which I didn’t mind, but it was so cluttered that it was difficult to prepare even the simplest of meals (usually breakfast, we ate out most nights). Also, I had to wash one of the oven trays 3 times and cover it in foil before I could use it. All of the taps wobble, and need attention. Not major issues, but none the less need to be addressed. This is the 4th. holiday cottage that we have stayed in this year, in different parts of the country, although we love Stratford-upon-Avon, (we lived here in the early eighties), I’m not sure that we would stay at 1, Masons Court when we next visit.

  We have stayed here before and the property is lovely, but a few things let it down this time.

  The patio area was unavailable because the building work at the adjacent property had damaged the fence and made it inaccessible. This was one of our main reasons for choosing the property so we notified the management company but heard nothing back. The heating was set uncomfortably high (22C) and we kept turning the thermostat down but couldn’t reset it, and so each time it was timed to come in, it whizzed back up to 22C. I kept meaning to call the housekeeper, but was only reminded when the heating got hot (5.30 am or when we got home in the evening, so too early or too late to call).The bathroom ceiling is peeling, understandable with such and old property, but not very nice. Grateful for the season ticket for parking, but had a bit of trouble working out to to put it in the machine, would welcome some clearer instructions next time.

  It's an old 2-up, 2-down terrace which has been significantly extended at the rear to give 2 good-sized bedrooms, one with a decent-sized built-in toilet/bath/shower suite. Downstairs, there are good-sized lounge/diner, kitchen/breakfast, and toilet/shower rooms and an adequate sun-lounge. The good weather we had also made it pleasant to sit on the patio. The stairs are original and rather tight. Parking at the rear is straightforward despite all the local roads being narrow and fairly congested with parked cars. We found all the equipment that we needed for cooking and eating meals, and there were a variety of shops and eateries in easy walking distance. The neighbourhood was quiet, and even the regular striking of the clock in the tower of the church opposite was very muted and somehow pleasant.
