What our customers say about their holidays

  There was no guest guide which is usually provided in Best of Suffolk properties, so no info about bin collection dates or appliance manuals.

  The manuals would be useful as the washing machine and electric radiators aren't intuitive. The washing machine door sticks and you have to push it hard to click in so the machine starts. The online manual wasn't helpful in solving the error beeps. A concern is that the timer on the microwave doesn't work - instead of counting down, it stays at the time you set it to, so overheating and burning may occur. No vacuum cleaner. We didn't attempt to remove the bung from the chimney to light the fire (wood was provided) as there was no instructions or place to put it, nor anyway to clean up the likely soot. The kitchen and back door don't have blinds or privacy film so bear that in mind when using the downstairs back bathroom, accessed past both windows. If you're thinking of using the outhouse for bike storage, note that there is no lock, nothing to fix your own lock to (the access door or inside the outhouse). Overall, a pleasant place to stay but don't feel it is worth the full price advertised for a non-half term week in mid-October (£900, it was reduced to £500) as it is not of the standard I would expect. Best of Suffolk properties used to be of a higher baseline standard.

  We stayed at Poppy Cottage over Christmas.

  It was cosy enough to stay in and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Suffolk countryside, punctuated only by the ducks on the pond and the faint noise of a train in the distance, while also being close enough to so many wonderful locations when we felt like venturing out. Poppy Cottage is probably the best situated of the cottages in the complex for huddling down in bad weather; it looks out onto the sheltered courtyard, so we never felt battered by the occasional squalls of heavy wind and rain. When the weather permitted, we took trips to Aldeburgh, Sutton Hoo, and Framlingham, all of which were short pleasant drives; the location really couldn't be better. Lyndsey was friendly and helpful, and dropped by with mince pies to make us feel welcome. I can highly recommend a stay at Poppy Cottage.

  The cottage was absolutely delightful and the courtyard and surroundings were very well planted out and looked after.

  Very tranquil and most pleasant to sit outside at any time during the day. Very good location to tour the area. Essentially everything in general was great but there are a couple of small points we would like to mention. There was no booklet giving details of refuse collections, doctors, places to eat and procedures when leaving; usually found at all previous cottages. Not a real problem as we just carried out what we thought were adequate procedures and left the cottage in sound frame of mind. Also the shower was quite basic off the taps and not adjustable; also no grab rails. May seem rather nit-picking but everything else was really fine and these points just put the icing on the cake.

  Lovely cottage, in a lovely rural area a short drive to Aldeburgh, orford.

  Saxmundham, Framlingham. Very clean well kept cottage, great facility's laundry room and games room. The cottage was lovely like a home from home very well equpt kitchen and a few essentials like milk and bread, biscuits for us and the dogs had some too, which was a lovely touch and the handwritten welcome slip the owners have thought of everything. A lovely shower and really comfy beds. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay for the weekend, so peaceful and beautiful views. Thank you and we will definitely be back by far one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and with lovely owners, thank you again.

  All spotlessly clean.

  . some of the slabs in the courtyard are loose and moving not a big issue at present but will need addressing There was no chopping board perhaps an omission? We like having a soak in the bath and we found that there was never enough hot water for a full bath which was a disappointment.. The TV signal strength was never good enough for Channel 4 to work. I even tried to re tune in the satellite box but to no avail. The place was spotlessly clean and idea for those who want a quiet break... Lots of wildlife and nice walks... Ideal for a dog Would recommend even with the small issues.
