  • "The farm was beautiful and the cottage was really lovely."

    Not as dog friendly as I would have liked/expected as there are pebbles everywhere, sometimes without a path and hurts the dogs paws. Also the cottage didn’t really come with the basics - e.g bin bags, kitchen roll, toilet bleach etc and we had to go out and purchase all of this ourselves so would recommend providing this for guests as we would have never thought to bring this with us. Overall would recommend.

  • "We loved our stay in The Granary."

    Such a tranquil setting and very comfy. We timed it right for the bluebells in the woods right on the doorstep. We will definitely be back.

  • "We had a great stay at The Granary."

    We are originally from the area, so were staying to visit family and friends locally. The accommodation was wonderful, with everything we required for a comfortable stay. The grounds were stunning, and there were plenty of options for walking our little dog right from the doorstep. Alice, the owner, was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The games room was a great feature, and we enjoyed playing pool and table tennis during our stay. We were a little early for the pool to be open - but hopefully next time! We will definitely be back when we are next visiting Suffolk. All in all a fabulous location, great cottage and host, excellent facilities and would highly recommend.

    The cottage was cosy, comfortable and well equipped. The games room was a fantastic addition with all the equipment well maintained and perfect for keeping us all entertained. Would highly recommend. Well located for days out too. Perfect!

    Thank you so much! Hope to see you all soon. Property Owner

  • "Wonderful stay - we felt very `at home` - Alice was welcoming without being intrusive - Loved the games room - the local walks and wildlife."

    Cottage was warm well appointed and well furnished - Really liked the array of crockery, utensils, glass and cookware that is often missing for those of us who like to cook ! Also that it seemed to have `evolved` rather than being plucked `off the shelf`.....added to the homely ambiance for us - We are already planning our return :)

    It was perfect, what a lovely place to stay. Lovely walks and a relaxed atmosphere. The games room was great too. Alice was lovely, so friendly and welcoming making us feel at home. Overall a perfect break, and somewhere we would definitely stay again.

  • "Thank you so much for our stay this week at The Granary."

    We’ve had such a lovely time exploring nearby villages and the walks on your doorstep. Your ford walk recommendation was lovely. Gorgeous countryside and houses. Loved the well stocked Polstead community shop. The boys loved being able to run about freely at Sprotts Farm and the games room was a massive hit. Thanks for the firefighters & marshmallows welcome bag (and the wine for mummy!) We definitely will be back.

    Cottages very well equipped, did struggle with the hoover attachments though as there were so many and we couldn't get them to fit
