Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
It was ideally placed for the places we wanted to visit. A nice touch were the chocolates and drink for us and some treats for our dog

"We had a really lovely stay at Tower End Cottage, it was everything we hoped it would be and much more."
The Prosecco,chocolates and the fresh blackberries and cream that were left for us were a welcome treat and very much appreciated. The cottage is close to a really good fish and chip shop and the nearby Coach and Horses pub serves excellent food.The cottage is also close to Woodbridge it took us about 30 minutes to walk to the town centre (we don't walk very fast).We would liked to have rented the cottage in the summer to make full use of the lovely little courtyard.If you book this charming cottage you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful cottage and garden. Excellent on site parking. Good location for days out. Nice walks from the cottage too. Only negative, outdoor drying would have been better. Not able to tumble dry a lot of our clothes. The pulley clothes line in utility area not very effective as we didn't have any heating on. All in all though, very good.

We found it spotless, very well-equipped and cosy. We were comfortable and rate it as very high-end indeed.

We also enjoyed meeting owner Richard along with Tommy the dog.

This is a lovely little cottage with a beautiful courtyard & great parking. The welcome gifts were a lovely surprise. It is so well presented & spotlessly clean. It was great to have handwash at every sink & full size bath towels! It is in a great setting in lovely countryside. Nearby Woodbridge has everything you need, also local shops & pub in Melton. The station is a short walk giving car free access to the wider area. Would definitely visit again.

"Had an excellent time and would definitely come again."
Only small disappointment was the lack of a sofa to cuddle up on watching the TV (understandable when physically viewing the layout of the cottage), and the dining table is very small (this could be improved). Otherwise it is a lovely lovely cottage and ideal for a mid-week or weekend break. Thank you xx
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you loved your stay in our little cottage. I will check that the photos clearly show the layout i.e. armchairs and dining table. Best wishes, Jan x

"Enjoyable stay."
Well equipped kitchen for two people. Biggest drawback is noise doors which - being sliding doors don't close very well. If one person gets up early and the other wishes to sleep then there are no sound barriers (proper doors) to prevent noise. Other than that - good car parking, TV ok, fridge is very small - no freezer to speak of.

"A very comfortable cottage."
We may well be back. It was a pity the downstairs toilet seat was broken so we were unable to use it but we understand it was due to be repaired. One pillow was missing a pillowcase.
We would like to have had some hanging space in the bedroom. We had evening clothes with us as we were going on to something and did not want to hang them in a steamy bathroom.
Otherwise we could not fault the cottage.

"Tower End has a real wow factor on entrance that doesn’t stop as you take in all the areas within."
The private beautifully dressed outdoor patio area is stunning.
We enjoyed the spacious yet cosines of the cottage as a couple with our big fluffy lurcher, Fozzie. We had enough space for his dog bed and found the entrance area so helpful for his towel rub down and paw cleans.
The driveway is secure for allowing dogs to wander (if they don’t jump gates) and we parked our car in the ample space at the front of the cottage.
The shower room and bathroom are luxury: super soft towels, toiletries and no need forgotten are a highlight of how much the owners want your stay to be pleasurable.
They have equipped the kitchen with ample utensils for cooking and a choice of coffee machine/cafetière was a bonus.
The bedroom has a hanging rail in the bathroom with ample drawers and cupboards for clothes. Sumptuously dressed bed with mattress topper and lovely choice of lighting; lamps and natural light.
We would not hesitate to recommend or return to Tower End. It’s a true gem and located well for much exploration. Local hospitality is superb. We felt very welcome and found the community so friendly.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comments - it truly makes it all worthwhile. We appreciate the fact that you noticed all the little touches we like to add and enjoyed the comforts of our little hideaway. It was a pleasure to host you all and thank you also for leaving everything so tidy and for being such considerate guests. Hope to see you and Fozzie again some time.

"Beautiful place to stay and we felt very welcome in the village."
Hopefully will be back in the summer. The only downside was that there was no grass area for the dog but we were out every day.
Thank you Caroline. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Tower End Cottage. The outside space traps the sun beautifully in the warmer months, which is why we plumped for a tropical paved courtyard. There is a natural country lane within a three minute walk, which some of our little furry guests seem to enjoy - I'll leave a note for guests in future. Thank you for your feedback.
Hope to see you all again.

The property
A hidden gem in the heart of the river side village of Melton near Woodbridge in Suffolk, Tower End Cottage is immaculately presented and offers stylish accommodation.
Perfect for a couple on holiday together, the sitting room offers an inviting space for you both to curl up together around the flame-effect fire and enjoy some quality holiday time.
If you’re not feeling sociable then just tune in, zone out and watch some TV or read one of the many books provided instead; it’s up to you!
The excellent kitchen has everything for the keen chef to be able to produce delicious food for the whole family.
If it’s a sunny day, then open up the bi-fold doors and let in the fresh Suffolk air while you’re cooking up a storm.
When the food is ready, gather around the dining table and look forward to long and happy meals together.
If the sun is shining (which it does a lot in Suffolk!) then you can dine alfresco.
The outside space is a real benefit at Tower End Cottage which boasts enclosed tropical garden so you an chill out and relax with a drink in hand; which is what holidays are made of.
Bedtime isn’t a problem either with a luxury bedroom with gorgeous cottage windows helping to create a relaxing and cottagey vibe.
Take a relaxing bath, and you’re good to go; there is so much to see and do in and around the Melton and Woodbridge area it would be a shame not to get out and explore.
Woodbridge itself is within walking distance and as an historic market town has loads of fascinating history and lots of interesting shops, bars, boutiques, restaurants and pubs to discover.
Take a barge along the river Deben to spot birds (keep an eye out for the elusive avocet!) or indulge in some sailing, cycling or walking, all of which are popular in the area.
Other places worth visiting while on a visit to Woodbridge include Sutton Hoo, Aldeburgh, the Bawsdsey Peninsular, Southwold, Dunwich, Framingham Castle and Go Ape Thetford.
Enjoying a superb setting, Tower End Cottage offers stylish and attractive accommodation which is sure to give its guests a truly memorable holiday.
