"Our 6th visit to Barn Owl, we love the situation and will return again."
We did leave a note that at times the fridge was very noisy and very cold. The ice box needed defrosting as it was full of ice, nothing major. Previously there had been more ovenproof dishes for those wishing to self cater, was a bit lacking this time.! Not withstanding..we shall be back.

"Lovely cottage, in a lovely rural area a short drive to Aldeburgh, orford."
Saxmundham, Framlingham. Very clean well kept cottage, great facility's laundry room and games room. The cottage was lovely like a home from home very well equpt kitchen and a few essentials like milk and bread, biscuits for us and the dogs had some too, which was a lovely touch and the handwritten welcome slip the owners have thought of everything. A lovely shower and really comfy beds. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay for the weekend, so peaceful and beautiful views. Thank you and we will definitely be back by far one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and with lovely owners, thank you again.

"A really lovely cottage in a beautiful setting."
The cottage was well equipped and comfortable.

"As you know, ' the pump' is noisy."
Not sure what it's doing - but seems essential. Running in the middle of the day is indeed the best time, as most guests are out. Personally, I found the gardener's radio much more irritating. Not loud - but nonetheless booming away in intrusive fashion. Otherwise, a real gem. Well thought out and equipped.

Very pleased!

"Thé cottage was perfect."
The views from the cottage with the duck pond and beautifully maintained gardens were also perfect. The amenities were also very good especially with the outside seating. We were very happy here until the pump started and the noise was so so loud and went on for hours and hours til late evening. The first time sadly we were looking forward to coming home for a bit of peace and quiet.

"Very nice location and accommodation"

"We loved Barn Owl cottage."
The location was very pretty and very peaceful. The cottage was clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the welcome gifts of bread, milk and biscuits. The cottage is very well placed for many places such as Sutton Hoo, Framlingham Castle and Africa Alive as well as the beautiful coast. We would love to visit again.
-
"This was really a lovely place to stay, there was a large pond in the grounds with seating round it."
If it was raining there were indoor games to play. For the little ones there was a playground and sit on toys. Would definitely go back.
-
"Lovely little cottage, clean, comfortable & ideal location."
-
"Lovely cottage and beautiful location with the pool area, which was well maintained, adding to a sense of serenity."
The member of staff we met was very friendly and helpful she is an asset to the enterprise. The location was ideal for visiting places such as Flatford Mill, Sutton Hoo, Alborough, Helmingham hall and Framlingham on a market day. An evening wall to Blaxhall is ideal.
-
"This proved to be my ideal holiday cottage with spacious, practical single-level accommodation for one man and his dog."
The setting was splendid, even better than the photos suggested. Useful information on the property and area was available in the property,plus a money-off voucher for the superb local farm shop. The owner called round to socially introduce herself and ask if everything was OK. It was. I would definitely like to stay there again if the property is available as it is a lovely location to visit several places of note in Suffolk, with some fine country walks on the doorstep.

"For me the tripping tap needs fixing and some of the chipped crockery needs replacing Love the welcome pack nice touch Parking was so easy excellent not far to carry suitcases."
Dogs were able to walk around the lake and up the road. Ideal Nice quiet area The advert needs to say Ore Cottages’s and not Sink Farm. Cottage very very comfortable and the guide to the cottage was very helpful Thoughtful touch
-
"Barn Owl Cottage was lovely clean and warm."
We received a lovely friendly welcome, on arrival, plus a welcome pack. The grounds with a pond, swans, ducks, and marsh meadows, with cut walk ways,was excellent. But we would say do take your water boots, for the walks in the meadows. The Lion, the local Pub has very good meals, and is Dog friendly. We had a very relaxing stay, and would certainly stay there again. Marg Barry and our dog Dixie

"Both your website and ore valley cottages website show a bath not just a shower with a curtain."
Very disappointed. Cottage good apart from above. Well kept and well kept gardens.
-
"Lovely location surrounded by wildlife."
Very relaxing.
-
"Problems with the heating not resolved until the day we left (1day early due to work), kettle which dribbled boiling water which was replaced with one which died so 2 days without a servicable one."
When bed is made into double access is poor. I don't particulalry like the area but my wife does so we will be back later in the year. Very windy so I manged to get 3-1000piece jigsaws done in a week. Having lived in suffolk most of my life I rarely visited the East Coast as it has an air of faded gentility and hasn't yet arrived in the 20th century let alone the 21st. Shingle 'beaches' are not to my or my dog's taste, nor is the 10 mile drive to the coast from the awful A12.

"Had a lovely time at the cottage with our dog."
Very comfortable with plenty of room and all you need on hand. Loved walking around the pond and enjoying the countryside. Was well positioned to explore the local area. Hoping to return as we were so relaxed and happy there and see more of what is on offer in this pretty part of Suffolk.

Little things no tea cloth no dishcloth, had to go and ask for them then only one tea cloth to last a week, wifi was said to be poor actually non existant , but overall a good cottage in a very nice setting
-
"Peaceful Plenty of storage for four day stay."
Grocery much appreciated. I would have liked to have thanked the people personally ,ie face to face
-
"The cottage was very welcoming, warm and comfortable."
All facilities were there, but we noticed a lot of pet hairs on the living room floor and on both rugs. The WiFi, which is becoming essential, was very poor. The password given in the cottage manual did not work for a connection. The welcome pack was a very nice gesture and greatly appreciated. One thing the really stood out for us was the lack of any sort of greeting from the owners, there was a contact number given but that does not mean as much as a face to face with our hosts. we left our comments in the visitor book but for our "complaints" we left a separate note.

"Lovely cottage very clean and comfortable"
-
"Great location, very tranquil and relaxing."
The cottage was extremely comfortable, very clean and well equipped with everything you need, with views over the splendid lawns and lake. The owners had left us milk, bread and biscuits which was very kind of them. The grounds were superb and well kept and our dog, Annie, thoroughly enjoyed the holiday as well being able to run free around the grounds and in the meadow. Very dog friendly. Would definitely recommend.
-
"The people that owned the cottage were friendly and very informative about the local area and suggested places of the normal tourist routes to visit."
We had a dog with us and we were surprised to find how welcome we were made to feel (that includes the dog) when we went out to eat.
-
"Just love this cottage, which is why we came back to it this year."
The facilities provided are excellent, it is one of the most relaxing and enjoyable holidays we have had.
