This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

Ploughman's Cottage in Eye, Suffolk, is a charming and well-maintained property with a cosy atmosphere, featuring a wood burner and comfortable beds. The enclosed garden is appreciated by pet owners, and the village of Hoxne offers a friendly local pub and scenic walks. Some guests noted the narrow spiral staircase and proximity to a busy road as drawbacks, while others found the cottage's character and location ideal for a peaceful retreat or exploring Suffolk.

Cleanliness

Guests consistently praised the cottage for its cleanliness, noting it was very clean and tidy upon arrival with fresh and amazing smelling linen. The property's upkeep in terms of hygiene seems to be of a high standard.

Location

The cottage is situated in a picturesque village with friendly locals and good amenities. However, some guests found the traffic noise to be a concern, as the property is located on a road used by heavy vehicles. The proximity to local attractions and walks was appreciated.

Comfort

The beds were frequently described as exceptionally comfortable, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, the spiral staircase posed challenges for some guests, and the proximity of the toilet to the bath was noted as inconvenient. The heat during summer and the noise from traffic also affected comfort for some.

Facilities

The cottage is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but guests reported issues with lighting, appliance operation, and a lack of certain kitchen utensils. The presence of a wood burner was a highlight, though some guests struggled with the hob and heating controls.

About this property

Nestled in the heart of idyllic Hoxne, a traditional Suffolk village attracting walkers and cyclists aplenty is this beautiful, character rich cottage offering alluring accommodation to three lucky guests. As well as being a wonderful base for exploring East Anglia, this romantic cottage boasts a picturesque exterior and wonderful living spaces to be enjoyed the year-round. Ideal for couples or small families, it retains much of its original features captivating your attention. Enter via the front door, and instantly feel welcomed into its characterful charm exuding from every wall; its original floors, low beams and cosy woodburner housed within a beautiful brick fireplace, add an elegant and refined touch, enhanced by warm terracotta colourways in the dining area to uplift your mood. The compact yet nicely appointed kitchen leads you to the pretty garden to the rear, where you can enjoy the delights of outdoors under a sheltered patio area, looking out across the manicured lawn towards a plethora of beautiful flowers and plants, cascading around its borders. The bathroom is positioned on the ground floor for your convenience, finished traditionally with a neutral shade of tiles. Climb the enchanting spiral staircase, which leads you to the first floor, benefitting two bedrooms; a double and a single, well-presented to a quality standard. A few minutes walk is the local and shop and award winning pub. The property is but a short drive from DIss and Framlingham, both well worth a visit. Framlingham is home to a wonderful castle and now famous for being the town Ed Sheeran grew up in. A little further away you can visit the Suffolk Heritage coast with the must visit Aldeburgh and Southwold; both popular seaside towns with an excellent range of cafes, restaurants and shops. This charming, traditional cottage is ideal for those seeking a unique stay in a wonderful location.

The village of Hoxne is one of Suffolk's most attractive villages, home to a Post Office, a 15th century Grade II listed pub, and streets lined with a range of chocolate-box cottages. Within an hour’s drive you can be touring the Norfolk Broads, sunning yourself by the sea, strolling along the pier in Southwold, or discovering the cultural city of Norwich. With a wealth of day trips to enjoy and plenty of walking and cycling on the doorstep, Hoxne is the ideal base.
