    The central heating and hot water provisions could do with a little improvement. Once you figure out the heating programmer, then it is fine.

    The property is set on a beautiful part of Suffolk and it is perfect for a weekend break for a small family. Lovely setting, lovely lodge and friendly owner. Waking up to that country view, was just perfect for us. :)

    Nothing.

    Cosy, clean and comfortable with an incredible use of the main garden area! Bruce was so friendly and helpful but respected our privacy during our stay. We took our 6 month old puppy and he loved it. Not far from long Melford which has lovely pubs and restaurants but we had an Indian delivery and it was brilliant. Would definitely return in the future.

    There was only a continental breakfast and this was not stated in the booking it just said breakfast included and I think this should have been explained a bit more. Nevertheless this did not spoil our break.

    The location and property was excellent and the grounds was exceptional.

    We’ve already given feedback to the owner about putting a fan in the bedroom but we did stay during an exceptionally hot weekend.

    The cottage is in a beautiful spot, well away from the road and looking out onto large grounds that are planted to look like a parkland. The grounds are for the use of guests, which was great for our dog and lovely for us to be able to sit by the pond. The cottage is bigger than I was expecting for one bedroom and comfortable. We will definitely return.

    The only thing I'd say is we didn't get any check in instructions, but when I rang on the day of arrival they were very prompt at answering and advising how to get in the cottage. Not really a negative but something to consider.

    Lovely little cottage in a beautiful location. Owners were very accommodating and made up the bed downstairs in case our little one wanted to be down there. As she was too young, she did sleep upstairs next to us, so they offered to put the bed back away. As we were only staying a couple of nights and at a wedding for the majority of our time, we declined for them to do this. The accommodation had everything we needed and the bed was very comfy. The grounds were also beautiful that our cottage overlooked, even saw a deer on the first evening. Would highly recommend this place to stay.

    The bed was too hard for me, but I'm sure it would be fine for others.

    Lovely peaceful location. Nicely furnished. Thoughtful touches in the kitchen like breakfast rolls and milk in the fridge.
