    Very lovely cottage it’s in a lovely place for travelling around the area I will come back soon as I will be getting my puppy it’s a shame it doesn’t take dogs but I will definitely recommend to family and friends the owner was very patient and polite helping us get in late at night thank you for my much needed break x Mrs and Mr Hooker

    Thank you for your review. Glad you managed to get in ok. We were a bit concerned of the cleanliness rate, was there anything in particular as we will raise it with our cleaners. Glad you enjoyed the cottage and the area. Regards Ian & Christine Property Owner

  • "We had a very enjoyable stay at 2 Mosses Cottage."

    The cottage was very well equipped and situated in a quiet and peaceful area. Having never visited Suffolk before we found we were staying in a convenient area for exploring the many places of interest. The only trouble was a week wasn't long enough to do everything we wanted. Think we will need a second visit!

    Thank you for your positive review. Property Owner

  • "A very comfortable, quiet and clean property."

    Our only issue was the access being at the back meaning walking along a narrow path past overgrown (sometimes wet) bushes teeming with midges which was not pleasant. No explanation was given as to why the front door could not be used. Otherwise we had an enjoyable stay in a lovely area.

    Thanks for your feedback. As explained previously, dog poo has been brought in on shoes and stained the carpet. Property Owner

  • "An excellent cottage from which to explore that part of Suffolk."

    The cottage was more than one could wish for - extremely well presented, comfortable and the equipment provided superb.

  • "We book with Sykes regularly and have always been satisfied."

    However, we’re finding the Friday changeover which is increasingly common with a lot of properties, is causing major travel problems for us. Friday, being the last day of the working week, has vast amounts of commercial vehicles using the roads. Consequently the journeys are fraught problems and the roads jammed up up with HGVs. This was particularly noticeable on the A14 with heavy goods vehicles travelling down to Felixstowe. A Saturday changeover would reduce this problem and make a much more pleasant journey for holidaymakers. I don’t know how families cope with a Friday changeover when their children are in school until late afternoon. It leaves us wondering whether the Friday changeover is for the benefit of the property owner rather than the guests,

    Thank you for your feedback. We have a flexible changeover day, but apparently the agents think that Friday works best. Property Owner

  • "Perfect for us…."

    My husband, my son and myself. Spotlessly clean, lots of thought given to include, for example, a sewing kit in one of the drawers!! Loved the table and chairs outside… had many a coffee and a relax there! The garden was lovely and the birds … including an owl one night regularly visited. We will return as the cottage was ideally located for everything. Honestly the cottage was lovely, very tastefully furnished to make our stay relaxed. We cannot fault it. Thankyou

    Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

  • "A lovely little cottage, well-equipped, comfortable and located in a peaceful village."

    Heating very efficient, though a stove in the lounge would be a welcome improvement to make it cosy for guests in colder months. A non-slip mat for use in the bath when showering would be useful and a word of warning about the tightly winding staircase might be helpful, as they are a bit tricky to negotiate with a full suitcase!

    Thank you for your feedback. We have an open fire to make it cosy. There is a non slip mat in the bathroom cupboard. Property Owner

  • "An excellent property, very clean and well presented."

    Interior was stylish, modern, homely and uncluttered. The kitchen was well designed with all utensils, crockery etc anyone would need. The dining/seating area looking out to the garden and field beyond, was lovely as was the garden and lounge. Fluffy towels, very comfy beds, I could go on. The home owners have taken care with this property for us to enjoy. The parking was great too. The shower had been dismantled, I guess as the water pressure may be low but a lovely bathroom to enjoy a bath in. Great location for Snape Maltings, Orford, Aldeburgh, Saxmundham and Framlingham or further afield for a day out to Southwold.

    Thank you for your positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed our cottage. Apologies for the shower, the top of the knob is missing but the shower still functions. Sorry for the inconvenience. Property Owner

  • "Beautiful holiday cottage, immaculately clean, well equipped with quality kitchen utensils & equipment, extremely comfortable furnishings & beds."

    Very peaceful location. I have no criticism at all & i will certainly be back for a future holiday, if I were to request anything for my future holiday, it would be a small foot stall, I have a slight disability & would be a little more comfortable, but it would be no trouble to bring one with me. Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home.

    Thank you for your positive feedback, so glad that you enjoyed your time at our cottage. Property Owner

  • "Parking for the car was different but quite acceptable."

    Adequate kitchen utensils and crockery. In the small bathroom a shower cubicle would be better than a bath (no bath mat) with over shower. Generally a nicely presented cottage in a splendid area.

    Thank you for your response., but I think off road parking for 3 cars is more than quite acceptable. Many guests have commented on the plentiful supply of utensils & crockery. In addition a number of guests have commented stating that it is nice to have the option of a bath. Property Owner

  • "There is a problem with no key for the front door."

    The cottage backs on to a farmers field. On our last night we were unable to use the back entrance to load our car. The farmer was using a watering system to water the potatoes and the spray was coming over half way up the garden path. We could not have used the entrance without becoming totally soaked. It had a very powerful spray. Also, it could be a fire risk if there is only one entrance!

Be welcomed into a beautiful cottage, where an open fire is settled into a traditional bare brick fireplace and warms the sitting room as you relax and plan the day ahead of you.

The kitchen/diner creates a space for you to rustle up a storm, enjoying your meal at the dining table.

2 Mosses Cottage houses two bedrooms, a double and a small double, and there is a first floor bathroom for your refreshment.
