    It was occasionally difficult to park as the village hall car park was extremely busy.

    A beautiful, peaceful place to stay, lovely interior, great facilities and a beautiful private garden.

    Tricky on the allotment path as it had flooded, Joanne let me know so I brought wellies and she made a place to leave them which was great. Its a short walk from the car park - not possible to get a car any closer as it is footpath but not a problem for me.

    Joanna left me a super breakfast hamper and there was ample tea, coffee, milk, juice for my stay, It was lovely and warm and a super wet room. Wonderful appliances all through, everything super clean and new!

    Not really a case of didn't like, just that being 5ft 2 it was difficult to see in the mirror provided to dry your hair, not necessarily an issue generally.

    First and foremost Joanna was a lovely host who was very accommodating and easy to contact. The property was in a peaceful location with Long Melford high street on your doorstep. It was very well equipped and Joanna added some lovely little touches with a welcome pack. Would definitely recommend.

    Everything was perfect, from the first step inside the allotment shed, we enjoyed the most wonderful few days relaxing in a perfect location. It was just what we needed and we have recommended the allotment shed to our family and friends. The enclosed garden was the icing 9n the cake. I sat writing my holiday journal there every evening with a contented smile on my face.

    Absolutely nothing.

    Absolutely everything. It is a perfect little place to stay. It has everything you need. So much care and attention has gone into every little detail. The private garden is so pretty. Melford Allotment Shed is only a short walk down a lane from the free car park where you can leave a donation if you wish. The little lane can get a bit muddy in wet weather but Joanna messages you the day before your stay advising you to bring wellies if needed. Joanna also messages you the day before with video instructions from the car park and where the key is located. The Village of Long Melford is really lovely and has so many places to visit. It also has a variety of places to eat. And is easy access to places like Lavenham , Assington, Boxted, Stoke By Nayland and many more.

    I really can’t think of anything I would have changed or liked to be different.

    Beautiful relaxing garden, lovely open views across the meadow, the allotment shed is presented to a high standard with a welcome pack of local fresh produce on arrival. The local village which is a 2 mins walk away has lots of interesting independent shops, cafe’s etc.

    The only thing I could find that I disliked is the blue lights of the microwave clock and BT box shine quite brightly when it’s dark. A bit like a nightlight!

    Lovely continental breakfast hamper provided plus a bottle of juice, milk and plenty of tea and coffee. Perfect little garden for alfresco dining and watching the sun set. Plenty of pubs and cafes on the high street only a couple of minutes walk away, along with butchers, bakery, small supermarket and a number of local stores and antique shops. Parking is off site but only a few seconds walk down a lane and is community donations rather than chargeable.

    I had booked a friend into this who was visiting from the USA. Everything was as described, Joanna went the extra mile to make our friend feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble, she did a couple of additional "room service" as our friend was here for two weeks. There was a lovely starter welcome pack of goodies including milk & cereal. Everything was spotless and everything just perfect. Location was great for all facilities in the village He was very happy here and will stay again next time he visits. He said to leave a 100% top revue as everything was 100%

    Literally, nothing. Everything was absolutely perfect.

    A fantastic stay! What a beautiful property, and a lovely welcoming host. The Allotment Shed host has literally thought of EVERYTHING. The garden is just beautiful, bed super comfy, shower nice and powerful and all of the fixtures & fittings are spot on. The little breakfast left out was great and welcome in the morning, and lovely toiletries feature also. Quality bedding and towels, lovely mattress, and even a fan for the warm weather. We wanted for nothing. The village of Long Melford is super - bakery, lovely little shops and Co-op open late for provisions. We found the locals to be very friendly and wished we could have stayed longer as the local pubs and eateries looked great. I can highly recommend The Allotment Shed to anyone visiting the area. We will 100% return :) Free parking topped off the high praise!

    This is an absolute little gem and would highly recommend. Not does Joanna (the owner) ensure you have all the info you need prior to arrival (video with directions, change of key location/muddy path update - all of which meant I was prepared and made my life easier for a late arrival) she has also managed to think of absolutely everything. The shed is warm, clean, well-appointed and has a lovely comfy bed. I can't think of a reason not to stay here. :)
