Well equipped cottage in a peaceful location. We appreciated the welcome basket and the kitchen had everything we needed for a few days away. The property is warm and cosy and the beds very comfortable. The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly both during and prior to our stay. We would definitely come back to Rubblestone Cottage.

This is lovely cottage where the hosts have thought if everything to make your stay comfortable, from tea, coffee, and cookies, to board games and picnic blankets. The kitchen is very well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. There is plenty of seating for everyone in the living room, kitchen, and the garden. The garden is great for active children—and adults—and great for squirrel and partridge spotting. There is a lovely little coffee shop/farm market less than a mile away, supermarkets within a 10 minute drive and beaches only 15-20 minutes away. There is a huge variety of things to do in the area—walking trails, boat trips, historical sites—literally something from everyone. We would definitely recommend this cottage!

We had a wonderful time in this quaint cottage. Sadly, our 3-day long stay was too short. Comfortable beds, calm, fresh decor and well stocked kitchen. The old farmhouse has an interesting history with architectural features that are unusual. Good base for cycling and enjoyable country walks. We'll come back. Not far from important places to visit.

Clean and well-equipped with all amenities. Very comfortable and quiet. A nice south-facing patio area to enjoy the warm sun. Near enough to the nearest town to make shopping easy but very much a rural spot with some narrow country roads to navigate. Perfect location for us as birdwatchers, being not far from Minsmere but good for the coast too.

Perfect cottage to watch spring unfold, set in beautiful Suffolk countryside. Good base for easy drive to the sea or Forrest. The house was super clean and well appointed with all amenities, good kitchen with all equipment plus appreciated the hairdryer and mirror next to electrical socket. Thoughtful and caring vibe, comfortable and a perfect hideaway from the city. Thank you.

A delightful return to East Suffolk

In our brief visit we enjoyed two concerts at Snape Maltings, visits to Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, and Orford for a wonderful fish lunch at Pinney's.Rubblestone Cottage was an ideal base and everything possible seemed to have been thought of to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Six nights at Rubblestone Cottage

The cottage is very clean, tidy and cosy, it was perfect for our needs. The garden is beautiful and I loved an early morning coffee outside with the moorhens. Our host, Caroline was friendly and very helpful, her parents at the main house were great too! I would definitely recommend staying here, the peace and quiet is wonderful, I'd hope to visit again.
