Enjoyed our stay at the cottage Really friendly and good communication with the hosts who also provided a lovely cake as well as milk and wine for our arrival.The property was clean and comfortable with very pretty double bedrooms. I do wonder whether the living room is large enough for 4 adults as opposed to 2 adults and a child. There is really only one proper sofa. We were out a lot so never really got a chance to use the garden but it looked a lovely place for a drink or meal and was secure if you had a dog with you.

4 night stay

Just spent a very pleasant stay at the cottage. Very clean comfortable beds and a warm welcome with a bottle of wine and cake. Heating with individual radiators worked well. It is worth noting that this is a middle terrace property and we did have some noise from a neighbouring wedding group in the next door property but quiet otherwise

The cottage sums up for us everything that is good about a UK countryside break.A return to simple pleasures with the added bonus of good weather. Lots of walking, talking and reading in the gardens at the property.The cottage was as described and met all of our needs.Located within the countryside with easy access to the coast and villages.Thank you Richard and Sue for keeping the cottage as original as possible and for our cake (Highly recommended)

Peaceful cottage

The cottage was in a very rural location in a row of four similar properties. Lovely and quiet with plenty of local walks from the door. There were stone steps leading from the car park up to the front door and very steep steps up the single bedroom.We were disappointed with the mixer shower due to its low water pressure. Overall the cottage was cozy, warm and comfortable.

Autumn break

The cottage is well presented, nicely decorated and well equipped. Our bed was large and very comfortable. It was very suitable for us having a secure garden for our dog. The location was ideal for easy access to the Suffolk coastal towns. There are several good pubs nearby; we particularly liked the Sibton White Horse for its character and food. We enjoyed a very pleasant five nights at the cottage. John and Jackie.

Country Escape

If you like rural isolation with close proximity to all that beautiful Suffolk has to offer, then this is for you. Very clean house and clearly well maintained, with friendly and helpful owners. On the downside there are no nearby amenities, pubs, shops or restaurants so transport is required.

Amazing cottage for a long weekend

I would highly recommend staying at this property. It is set in a very quiet location in the village of Bruisyard. Nice walks to some local pubs and only a 10-15 minute drive to a couple of big supermarkets and 20 mins to Aldeburgh on the coast which was a highlight. The owners were very helpful and easy to deal with throughout.

Lovely cottage, great location

Lucky with the weather, sunshine and very hot, so made good use of the gardens both front and back. Nice easy walk to White Horse pub (Badenham) for dinner. Lots to see and do - first trip to Suffolk, won't be the last. The baker of the welcome cake deserves a medal - amazingly good!

Lovely little hideaway

If you relish peace and quiet in beautiful countryside this little cottage is for you. We spent a glorious few days here. It is very tastefully decorated, the beds are comfortable and the little garden is treat. What more can I say ? It's within a short drive of Southwold, Aldeburgh and the delightful Framlingham. Enjoy !
