Alexandra Morris
Feb 2025

"Overall, we had a nice stay, but a few small issues. The bathroom vents could be stronger, especially over the shower and bath, as steam was peeling the ceiling paint. Also, the toilet seats in both bedrooms felt a bit loose."

Jessica
Jan 2025

"We stayed in lodge number 7and honestly, it was quite a different vibe from the photos online. Still, it was modern, really spacious and spotlessly clean, which was impressive. The hot tub stayed nice and clean all week, which was a bonus. The place is right by a busy road, so you do get some noise, but thats expected. I think its a bit pricey, especially during school holidays and with Covid restrictions, since theres not much to do on-site. Still, for a short Suffolk getaway, its quite decent."

"We had a lovely stay at this charming spot tucked away in a peaceful, private setting. The owners were super friendly and always willing to help without intruding, which we really appreciated. The hot tub was just what we needed after a long day of cycling - such a treat! One thing to note, though, is that the cottage is directly under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us after a while, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth mentioning. Overall, a great place to unwind!"

"We had such a great weekend here! The place was perfect for what we needed and the pups had a blast, especially with the underfloor heating-so cosy! The garden was lovely for them to run around. Luna was wagging her tail so much, she ended up with a strained one. Definitely planning to come back soon, we loved it!"
