  The property was absolutely gorgeous.

  It was warm and cosy when we got there and spotlessly clean. Lovely big fridge and freezer. And loads of things provided that Sykes didn’t know, and we couldn’t ask directly of the owner so ended up bringing coffee, tea, salt, pepper, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, cleaning cloths etc when it was all, very helpfully, provided. The garden is secure enough for the dogs to walk around as long as someone stays with them. Beautiful views and the goats are just gorgeous. And of course, Percy the peacock deserves his own separate write up! The only 2 niggles were the double bed upstairs, thin mattress on a VERY hard base. All other beds good though. And no instructions on how to work the oven or kettle. The kettle we worked out but the oven was really hit and miss. Thankfully my brother had come across similar and knew the magic touch. Other than that, I would definitely stay here again. Sykes communication was quite good from start to finish, good instructions etc and then the owner himself text me on the day with more detailed instructions and was super helpful in leaving the door unlocked so we didn’t struggle in the dark. Really thoughtful. Plus the most beautiful Christmas tree with lights and a lovely cake, mince pies and milk and Prosecco were also left which was a really lovely touch and gratefully received. All in all a great success Thankyou.

  A good size holiday cottage, placed between Sutton Hoo and the golf course at Woodbridge (both of which have public footpaths for dog walks). A pretty part of the world to visit, near heaths/commons, woodland/forrest and shingle beaches. The beds were comfy, kitchen was well equipped, light living room with a nice fireplace (not used as it was June), a good size garden but the fence is mostly picket to waist height (so only really suitable for smaller dogs unsupervised as there is a main road at the back). Access is by a private drive, which is best suited to a 4x4 type car - you wouldn’t want to take a low slung car down it. Good it has its own parking and it’s pretty secluded. The area is generally quiet, you can’t hear the road in the house and it’s good to see the stars. Woodbridge is nearby with lots of facilities, and the Plough at Sutton is great for proper home cooked food. There are other fancier gastro type pubs about, which aren’t our thing. We enjoyed our break, and would recommend the accommodation.

  Lovely cottage with pretty much all you need for a holiday.

  The kitchen is well stocked with crockery, cutlery, utensils and cooking equipment. A compact dishwasher was very useful. The mezzanine sleeping area is spacious with good lighting and the bed us comfortable. There is not sufficient storage for clothing and there is ample room for a chest of drawers, which would be very beneficial. We resorted to storing clothing on the floor of the cupboard under the stairs. The sofa is not particularly comfortable; the leather cushion covers are slippery and not supportive. The bathroom is large and features a large walk in shower with a good flow from the head. The free-standing bath is good looking but impractical as it is effectively too long and the ends far too narrow to sit or lie comfortably in. The WiFi was nonexistent during our stay and two calls to the Agent failed to resolve that. Mobile reception was poor, making it impractical to rely upon in the absence of WiFi.

  Very confusing as instructions incorrectly stated the barn had an orange door, the proprietor had to stand in the road to wave us down as it is a green door.

  It was very dangerous pulling out into the road as it is on a bend and there are overgrown trees blocking the view of oncoming traffic, a mirror on the other side of the road would be very beneficial. The vegetation around the barn could do with cutting down as opening windows was a bit difficult. There were no instructions for any of the kitchen equipment and there was no colander. None of this affected our stay though, a bit of tlc needed on it otherwise we had a lovely time. The Guernsey goats and the peacock were lovely. The welcome pack was appreciated with fresh eggs and wild flowers. The barn itself is well equipped for 6 people and it is very central to visit the surrounding areas. Found the nearest pubs are in Halesworth, The King's Head and The Angel. Had a roast at the Queen's Head in Bramfield which was lovely.
