  Absolutely beautifully finished little cottage.

  Attention to detail is fabulous. The cottage is within the garden and at the end of the drive of the owner, but it really wasn't an issue at all, Parking right outside the door next to the lovely weeping silver birch tree. Bev was friendly and welcoming but then left me to it. Her gardens are absolutely stunning and I really enjoyed looking out of the window over the summer borders. The bed is extremely comfortable, and even though it is an open plan, living room, bedroom with dining area, in one room, the way that it has been laid out feels spacious and calming. The decor is really lovely. I travelled alone and stayed two weeks whilst I worked in the area - there is also excellent wifi which was useful for me to catch up on work in the evenings. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend much time in The Forge, much to my dismay. It has such a nice feel, I could have happily relaxed and sat in the garden for hours. The second week I was there it was very hot. Bev had switched the duvet for a light summer duvet which was very thoughtful and added a fan but I didn't need it as with the windows and velux open through the evening, it cooled down nicely. The kitchen is compact and has no oven but that wasn't a problem for me. There is a combi microwave thing and Bev can provide a Chef Ninja which I think is an air fryer, but I didn't need it. Bev has kitted it out with everything you could need to prepare a meal. Even a loaf of home made bread, butter, and a pint of milk. Very useful for my late arrival. I highly recommend The Forge if visiting the area. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area. Thank you Bev for a lovely stay.

  We booked this cottage over Christmas to celebrate a special birthday with the family. Our group consisted of 7 adults and 5 children.The cottage was lovely and spacious with 2 large reception rooms and open plan kitchen/ dining room. It was warm and comfortable with gorgeous views and countryside walks locally.The kitchen was well equipped, just lacking a few basics such as covered dishes suitable for the oven. Also there were not enough chairs for us all to sit round the table.The utility room was large and ideal for muddy boots and coats.The bedrooms were comfortable although the master bedroom had no shaver point or mirror to use when drying your hair.One of the blinds in the main lounge was faulty and could not be let down. In several of the bedrooms and the bathroom on the ground floor there were loads of dead ladybirds and flies in the folds of the roller blinds.Having said all that we had a lovely stay at Foxhole Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed our time away and would recommend this property.Suffolk Hideaway were good at answering any questions and were very helpful in allowing us into the cottage early.

  This has to be the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in.

  It is absolutely beautiful! Everything you need is there and it is all thoughtfully and tastefully arranged. It just felt like home ftom home. The garden is lovely too. Clearly well maintained with lovely garden furniture. The conservatory is also a big bonus with 2 very large and comfy cane rocking chairs! Linda left us a lovely welcome pack of wine, cookies, enormous scones, butter, milk and savoury snacks. How amazing! Then we found that there was tea, coffee and sugar in the canisters too! The kitchen is spotless with a wide range of cooking equipment. The bathrooms were absolutely spotless too with good quality towels and complementary soap and shampoo. Plus plenty of extra loo roll and cleaning stuff in lovely baskets. I could go on and on about this place it was so impressive! We will be definitely book it again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
