"Wonderful location and should have been a peaceful week."
Unfortunately the cottage had a significant problem with the plumbing causing ‘water hammer’. This meant that when either toilet was flushed and the bath and shower used, there was a loud and constant noise throughout the cottage from the kitchen taps which could only be remedied by fiddling with the taps. This was very inconvenient during the day. At night we adopted a ‘no flush’ policy, which was really not ideal as we were sharing with friends. Even then, on two nights the water hammer started seemingly spontaneously. On one of the nights it happened five times, meaning a very disturbed night up and down stairs to kitchen to get rid of noise. Rosemary was aware of the problem and had had a plumber in before our occupation to try to remedy the problem to no avail. We do feel that some recompense for this exceptional inconvenience should be forthcoming.

"We loved our stay at Stable Cottage."
It is an idyllic location in the heart of rural Suffolk. It is so peaceful and in such a beautiful setting. Our hostess Rosemary was welcoming and friendly at all times. The pool is fantastic, particularly loved by the children, and is kept at a very swimmable temperature. We enjoyed the walks in all directions along the lanes and footpaths. The layout of the cottage works really well, and we appreciated the original artworks and quality of the furnishings and fabrics throughout.

"We loved our stay at Stable Cottage."
So much so, that we had already booked for next year a few days in. The horses are practically in the back garden which the children absolutely loved! The swimming pool is a lovely addition too! The children spent many hours playing and we accidentally slept in most mornings because it was just so quiet and peaceful! Our only gripe with the property was that it wasn’t very clean. We had to wash nearly all of the kitchen equipment before we used it as it all had bits of food on it. I think this is possibly more to do with the last people who stayed to be honest, but the house could definitely do with being cleaned a little better in between stays. From our point of view there are only a few small things that could have made it better: - A better clean between stays - Safety covers on the plug sockets - Some sort of umbrella to go over the table outside. We were blessed with some lovely weather but didn’t eat outside as the table had no shade. - An investment into new kitchen equipment. We love to cook and there wasn’t a huge amount of equipment, the items that were there were quite old. Some non stick pans and baking trays would be fab! None of these things would have stopped us staying again, but would definitely make it a little better! We look forward to staying again next year!!

"Beautiful property, beautiful location."
Bigger than it seems on the photos. Loved the secure garden as did our dog. Loved our horsey neighbours too. The property was comfortable and had everything we would have wished for. The main bed was very soft if you are partial to that- we are not but we still wouldn’t hesitate to go back. The swimming pool was literally the icing on the cake. Tremendous

Children loved walking through the stable yard morning and evening and we found plenty of dog friendly places to go for an action packed week.

"A lovely, comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings making it a pleasure to come back to after a great day walking in the lovely Suffolk countryside and along the beautiful Suffolk beaches."
We were made to feel very welcome by, Rosemary, the owner, who was happy to let us look round and enjoy her beautiful garden, and being able to visit the adjacent stables, see the horses, dog, cats and have a chat with friendly Tracey (stable manager) was a real plus. A generous welcome pack awaited us - an excellent start to the holiday which remained excellent throughout. Thank you.
