  • "Wonderful stay at The Stables."

    The accommodation was perfect, amazing high ceilings, well thought out floor plan, a kitchen that made cooking a full Christmas meal a breeze and the most comfortable beds we have slept in a rental. Despite Storm Darragh we still made use the wonderful hot tub, unfortunately due to the storm we didn’t explore the area but will definitely return to explore. Paul is an amazing host, so friendly and you could tell he wanted to ensure we had the best experience and finally the welcome pack was so thoughtful.

  • "We had a wonderful 2 week holiday at the Stables and could not fault any part of the accommodation or the facilities."

    Where else would you be able to have a totally private garden fully equipped with furniture and hot tub. The accommodation inside was equal to a five star hotel but with the benefit of the total space just for your use. The area was peaceful and everything you could imagine for a small hamlet and a place that most would love to live in. Our hosts Tammi and Paul were friendly, charming and informative. It was a perfect location for travelling to places such Bury St Edmonds, Southwold and of course a trip on the river to see the Norfolk Broads. There were numerous places to eat and we ate at The White Horse Inn and had fish and chips from the local shop in Badwell Ash both of which were in the next willage. As a famous actor once said..... We will be back!!!!! Ann Adams

    Many thanks for your kind comments. We do our very best to make our guests feel welcome and comfortable. Be great to see you back and exploring our lovely area. Kind regards Paul and Tammi Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

    The house was well equipped and spacious, the beds were comfy, there was ample secure parking right by the front door and it was peaceful at night. There are many attractions within a short drive and there is a excellent supermarket in the nearby village. Our hosts were very welcoming, and we appreciated the home baking, flowers, milk, wine and beer.
