This was our second visit to Swallows Roost. This time for Christmas. We are a family of 5 with 3 dogs. We had plenty of room for all of us. The beds were comfy, the lodge is modern and well decorated. The huge garden/dog field was very popular with our 3 pooches. Just remember to take a torch, to find your dog at the end of the field!
Beautiful garden and all enclosed for dogs. The property does need some tlc, not much would need doing to bring it up to scratch, it cost 2200 for the week the most I have spent on a week away but was taking my dad and wanted something special. It was just standard accommodation two toilets both chains had gone, they did email us to explain they was waiting for plumber, the other bathroom I just flushed the chain one and it fell apart. The double bedroom the door didnât open properly got stuck on the floor that they would have been aware of, because of this I caught my back which happened as the door didnât open very much. The casing of the plug sockets were all loose on the floor. The outside around the property needed a good tidy up. On the plus side the garden was beautiful for all dogs. They just need to make an effort of getting a few minor problems sorted which they should have at such a high price. So was a bit disappointed.
Was such a lovely stay we all really enjoyed it and the dogs enjoyed the space to run around! Canât wait to come back again as it was absolutely great!
Beautiful property in quiet location - Garden not secure enough for escape artist dogs!
The cottage is stunning, very clean and in a lovely location. It probably has the best equipped kitchen we have seen in a holiday rental, every piece of equipment you could think of (and more.)
Our teenagers enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit, lots of family bonding whilst eating smores!
We did experience wifi issues the first couple of days, but the lack of internet actually turned into a blessing. Host was very helpful when we contacted them about it.
The only negative is that the garden was not fully secure (the secure garden was our reason for booking this property.) Our 2 cockapoos found 3 different places to escape, despite our best efforts at blocking gaps. This meant they had to stay on their leads, and we could not fully relax. I am sure it would be fine for bigger dogs, or those who are not little houdinis but it is not suitable for escape artists like mine.
I would recommend this property and would love to visit again one day (if the garden was fully secure)
Lovely modern property, with all the amenities you could need. We had dogs with us, so the huge enclosed field was perfect for them, and we didnât have to worry about them running off. We relaxed in the hot tub, and cooked on the firepit. It was so quiet and peaceful, all you could hear was birdsong. Lovely country walks nearby too, if you could drag yourself out of the hot tub for long enough. The hosts were lovely, nothing was too much trouble, even having to change our dates was no problem.
Our daughter was getting married nearby and we rented the house for before and after. The property was great for 7 adults and our 3 dogs! Having the completely enclosed very large garden area was a godsend!
The only odd thing was there were only mainly plastic prosecco glasses. So we bought a set and left them there!
All in all a lovely place to stay!
We had a very enjoyable stay with our toddler and 2 dogs. We valued the thoughtful welcome pack, the size of the garden and that it was fenced in for our dogs to roam, and the cot set up + high chair for our toddler. We had âescapedâ from our neighbourhood over the Guy Fawkes weekend - where the fireworks make our dogs very nervous and had a nice peaceful break. Thank you.
The property was clean and welcoming with everything there to allow us to have a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The welcome food was an unexpected added bonus. Our 2 dogs loved the safe field to explore and we could relax knowing they couldnât escape. The layout of the property was ideal and the location was perfect to explore Suffolk.
Second time we have been to Swallows Roost and we had another great stay. Comfy beds great views and a big bbq. Handy to get to most places in Suffolk and Norfolk.
