Rural Cottage, Hot Tub, 10 Mins from Bury St Eds
We booked this property to celebrate my mums 60th birthday and to say it was perfect is an understatement. We had a lovely long weekend in the hot tub with lots of BBQ’s. We also had 2 dogs and we felt so at ease that they were running around in the secure field. Will definitely be rebooking! Thanks Lucy & Co

Coastal 2-Bedroom Cottage w/ Hot Tub & Log Burner
As a family of foodies and in particular loving shellfish West mersea and the cottage were absolutely perfect for us. Our two teenagers loved the hot tub and we thoroughly enjoyed cooking good food in the small but perfectly formed kitchen and sitting in the sunshine in a very pretty deck watching the world go by. three nights was a treat, But perhaps a few extra just to make sure we could try all of the wonderful food offerings West Mersey provides . Thanks Roland for being a great host - we loved the cottage and would love to return.

The Little Owl Suffolk - Boutique Getaway
We had a fantastic stay at the Little Owl, the property is exactly as described and the images are a perfect reflection of it too. All instructions were extremely clear and the property was a very relaxing and comfortable stay. We will be booking again.

The Churchmouse - Rural, 2-bed, log burner
We recently spent two nights at Chloe’s cottage. It was a very spacious cottage in a very rural, tranquil location. We particularly enjoyed the south facing garden in the afternoon. The logburner made things very cosy in the evenings. We will certainly book again when we return to this part of the country in a couple of years time. Thank you for a very enjoyable break.

Romantic riverside beauty - Woodshed Letheringham
Letheringham Mill is an incredibly beautiful place, and the cottage I stayed in was out of this world. The grounds are stunning, so obvious Jacqui is a keen gardener, yet incredibly dog friendly. Inside is as wonderful as outside, and there is a wonderful eye for detail, and the cottage is so well equipped. I'm trying to be a tad careful as to the help Jacqui actually gave me, as I don't want future guests to expect the same and leave her in an awkward position.... she was a phenomenal host!

Little Oaks
Had a lovely stay at the weekend. was very clean and beautiful grounds. although in photos the sauna looks like its attached to the house, it isn't so that was a little disappointing, also the listing stated it was isolated, but you have a few neighbours next door and around. But we had a lovely time and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a nice break. the playground was a good touch too, my daughter played on it constantly. host was lovely and helpful too.

Quirky 16th century cottage in Wattisham Suffolk
Watt cottage is a beautiful little cottage which makes you feel at home. The cottage was well equipped with all the essentials needed. Samantha communicated with me when needed and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend staying at Watt cottage. Thank you for a lovely stay.

*Manningtree Beach - 17th century cottage*
What a fabulous place to stay, quiet and peaceful with a lovely courtyard are to sit out in - but go out through the gate and you are across the road from the beach or a few yards from the centre of town. We booked it when we were visiting family in the area and will hopefully do so again when we next go down.

Romantic or Family Rural Bliss
We had a lovely time staying in Horkesley Hall! A little oasis, with a lovely garden to explore. Polly shared some good recommendations and the Airbnb itself was enjoyable to spend time in.

Rustic Cottage in Thorpeness
Lovely little bungalow. Perfect for people who like their holidays to be simple and peaceful in beautiful surroundings. The house is compact but comfortable, and Ann gave us some good recommendations. Highly recommend!

Rookery Farm Cottage - Countryside, Coast & Cycle
Well what can we say, perfect location/very very clean and tidy. Loads of lovely touches to make us welcome, it was better than a hotel. Loads to do locally and just short drives out to all the sort after locations you may needs. Make sure you go to Mrs T’s fish & chip shop in Southwold on the beach it’s a must. Everything was perfect and Kerry & Adam are lovely, what a stunning part of the world they live in. They even supplied some milk/fresh eggs/crisps/biscuits, towels/linen were scrumptious oh and the beds extremely comfortable. Basically your mad if you don’t book here👍 Matt/Zara & boys thank you again x

Fairytale Cottage in Constable Countryside
Fantastic cottage in idyllic location. Photos do not do it justice - it’s a beautiful cottage, full of character and charm. Lovely garden too. Had a wonderful stay and communication was excellent.

Private and peaceful stay at Old Smithy Cottage
We had a lovely stay. We were very comfortable. If anything we found the place better than the photos and description prepared us for! Sue was very communicative and helpful. Very good value. Thank you.

Crisply stylish retreat - Orchard Coach House
My family and I had a lovely stay at the Coach House. The property is beautifully designed and the decor is very stylish. The house was very clean throughout and we had everything we needed for our stay. Charlie was very quick in replying with any queries that we had throughout our stay also. We thought the paintings throughout the house were a lovely touch to the property also. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

Beautiful Cottage Near To Woodbridge
We stayed in oak cottage and loved every second - we have 3 city kids who ran around the garden / play area / anywhere they could the entire time! We enjoyed the outdoor bath after our days out (Jimmy’s farm & southwold pier) and the bbq and fire. Pizzas were fantastic, even our very fussy 7 year old approved. We hope to come back when our youngest is older so he can experience the memories made here too

Lovely countryside Cottage with private garden
Yem's cottage was the perfect countryside stay. Plenty of parking on the gated driveway and has beautiful views of the fields from the kitchen window and private garden. The cottage was a home from home and it was spotless throughout. Yem is a great host, very responsive and provided baby stair gates and a high chair. The coast is reachable within an hour too. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others.

Brookes Cottage, Butley
We had a very relaxing 4 night stay here. A peaceful location with friendly hosts. Brookes cottage was a great base for exploring the area. A comfy bed and good shower and a lovely garden to relax in after a day out.

2 Bedroom Cottage in the Orchard of Manor House
Stunning cottage in stunning grounds of a stately home / manor. The cottage is in a private orchard so you have a lovely very large green / garden with the accompanying birdsong to enjoy to yourselves! There are no other cottages so the grounds are private and wonderful to explore on foot too. The kids brought their bikes for some cycling on the attached woodland paths and lovely for morning or evening walks. The cottage itself is modern, spotless and well heated, lovely roll top bath and walk in showers. The cottage from outside to in is all one floor so great for our baby who was crawling (there is one step between the kitchen and living room). Hosts were very responsive and welcoming.

Beautiful 17th century cottage
A lovely, cosy stay at Bryony and Simon’s historic cottage. A great rural retreat to explore the local Suffolk countryside.
