"Gorgeous accommodation."
This cottage has a wealth of comforts and charm. The grounds, the underfloor heating, the beds, the kitchen. All these had a touch of luxury that made our stay wonderful. Thank you to the owners for their attention to detail, help and welcome goodies. Will highly recommend Rookery Cottage.
Thank you so much for your kind review, we were delighted to read it! We are so pleased you enjoyed the cottage and your time here in Suffolk and hope you will come to stay again sometime. Property Owner

"The cottage is beautiful and spacious and very clean."
As other visitors have mentioned a microwave would be useful. And a blind at ensuite window would be good especially with builders working on scaffold next door!! We could only get tv to work on tv apps. So might be tricky for some. Also there was an ant infestation on last couple of days. This can happen anywhere but ant powder would be helpful!!!
Thank you very much for your feedback and I'm pleased you found the cottage beautiful & clean. We have listened to feedback and am pleased to say we do now have a microwave and the en-suite window is frosted over, but rest assured it wasn't easy to see into from nextdoor. The TV is a Smart TV, so it does have all the channels via apps, but we appreciate it isn't what everyone is familiar with. I cannot apologise enough about the ants! We found it was a problem all around this area of Suffolk during this time. I wouldn't like to leave ant powder around in case of children staying, but if such a circumstance arises we are happy to provide it, or maintenance will come and sort for you, which I understand is what happened quickly during this occurrence. I hope this didn't affect your stay and we would be happy to welcome you back another time. Property Owner

"As we are senior citizens 80 + years we found the modern type TV very difficult to use, and we were unable to watch some of our regular programmes."
We are not all up with modern tech. In the Shower room you were overlooked from the adjacent property, It would be helpful if a blind could be fitted to the window.
Thank you for your feedback. I am so sorry you found the Smart TV hard to use, it includes all main TV channel apps but appreciate it may be different to what you're used to and we are looking into this. The en suite shower room window is hard to see into from the exterior, however we completely understand your concern and it has now been frosted over. We hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise.

"A blind is needed in the en-suite shower room and a microwave would have been useful otherwise all was perfect."
Even had rabbits and pheasants in the garden
Thank you for your feedback. We decided against the microwave originally due to counter space but we have noted your feedback and now supplied a microwave. The en suite small window has now been frosted over too. I'm pleased you enjoyed the wildlife we have here, the pheasant family, rabbits, kestrels and woodpeckers amongst others often pay the garden a visit. Property Owner

"We were a party of two couples (parents and grandparents) and a 4 year old and a nearly 2 year old."
The cottage was perfect - quiet, spacious, comfortable, well-appointed and very attractive. The underfloor heating kept the temperature comfortable even on the cooler days. The big, private garden was a great asset. Its location is within easy reach of Southwold, Aldeburgh, RSPB Minsmere and Sutton Hoo all of which we thoroughly enjoyed .
Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted you enjoyed the cottage and explored the beautiful surrounding area and hope that you come again! Property Owner

About the location
SAXMUNDHAM

Saxmundham is a small market town located on the River Fromus, in the heart of Suffolk’s Heritage Coast. The town is well serviced with a Waitrose, Tesco, independent shops, local museum, and a train station, as well as art galleries, a weekly market and a farmers’ market. Situated so close to the coast, Saxmundham is a great base for a seaside holiday; within easy reach of Aldeburgh and Thorpeness, as well as Dunwich, Southwold and Walberswick, you could enjoy a different coastal location each day. Also close by is the inland market town Framlingham with beautiful historic architecture, a castle and an array of independent shops. South of the town there is the well known tourist destination of Sutton Hoo, an ancient Royal Anglo-Saxon burial site.
