"We had a wonderful stay at the Rectors Retreat in a lovely cottage on one level which helped my wife with her walking difficulty."
It even has a ramp leading up to the property. The owners are very friendly and helpful and made us feel most welcome. The information pack is very clear and is also extremely helpful for your stay in the cottage and eateries etc. We can certainly recommend this property which is situated in a lovely part of Suffolk set in a very quiet location.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We enjoyed meeting you and pleased you had a lovely stay. Property Owner

"Lovely place for a short break."
Very clean and tidy with everything you need. Lovely welcome pack and a kind person left us some fresh plums on our verandah table. Good parking. Note although doesn't have an oven the microwave is a combi one. Could well be returning.
Thank you for your kind comments. I tried to catch you when I put the plums there, but you weren’t around. I’m glad you enjoyed them. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"A very comfortable and well maintained cottage in a peaceful rural setting."

"The property was excellent in every way, except rain water came through an unused door in the bedroom."
We were going to tell Angela, but she was out when we left. Angela was wonderful when we had a power cut in the village, bringing candles etc.
Thank you for your comments. The dampness on the bedroom door was due to cushions and spare pillows being piled up against it causing condensation. We have had torrential rain since your visit with no problems at all. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Rector’s Retreat."
The cottage was very comfortable ,well maintained and very well presented. We had everything we needed for a quiet relaxing stay. The hosts were delightful -very helpful and friendly. We especially enjoyed being able to sit in the evening overlooking their beautiful garden. We had a really good holiday in an interesting area and would recommend this property for a couple.
Thank you for your generous comments, we enjoyed meeting you and so glad you had a good break. Best wishes Property Owner

"A quiet, rural location."
It was ideal for our needs. The ramped access and wet room make it usable by visitors with restricted mobility. A few more adjustments would make it even more accessible. The owners were very obliging and welcoming.
Many thanks for your kind comments. Property Owner
