"Lovely cottage that had everything you could want and more."
Comfortable and warm, quiet and relaxing. A very big walking section on the shelf and a lot of time spent preparing such information and plans, maps and books available for the area. Appealed to us as walkers and we changed some of our plans after seeing better looking walks put there by the owners. Nice small garden to relax in at rest of property with summer house, never used as this was October/November, but in right months of the year, this would be appealing. Cottage situated in a good location, only a few miles from the coastal resorts and Sutton Hoo was also a good visit. Great inland towns and villages also only a few miles away, yes , cottage good for exploring this lovely County. Owners recommended the local pub for a meal, again spot on recommend. Would return.
We are pleased that you had such an enjoyable stay at Peggotty’s. As fellow walkers we are glad that all the maps and guide books were of great help. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"Really charming cottage in a quiet, pretty village."
An ideal location for exploring the wonderful Suffolk Coast and Heaths. So many lovely villages, towns, farm shops, beaches and nature reserves within half an hour of Pegotty's Really livable, lots of utensils, products, storage. Along with nice touches left for you - tea, coffee, sugar, spices, logs for stove etc and a box of chocs). A ton of of tourist and practical info there for you too. Lots of facilities five minutes away in Saxmundham - including supermarkets, restaurants and train station. Poachers Pocket Pub is a nice walk and fantastic Sunday lunch. Only suggestion would be a larger TV. I appreciate that it's a period cottage and very well priced, but I still think 100% would be disappointed with such a small screen these days, when there's very little else to do in the evenings. All in all, an excellent value, well equipped, ideally located holiday cottage. Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for your comprehensive review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and had the opportunity to visit the very many local attractions. We deliberately chose a smaller screen tv so as not to dominate the character of the sitting room and to ensure it had a built in dvd player. Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at Peggotty’s, a lovely cosy cottage with absolutely everything you could possibly need!"
, probably the best equipped cottage that we have ever stayed in, the owners had literally thought of everything. It is beautifully situated, with many lovely places to visit, would definitely recommend.
It was very pleasing to receive your excellent review, thank you. We try to cater for a wide variety of tastes when preparing our cottage for incoming guests. You certainly chose a good week weatherwise. Property Owner

"Such a lot of thought has obviously gone into setting up this lovely cottage."
So many books and information pamphlets with information on Suffolk and places of interest (plus instruction info on all appliances). Couldn’t fault the high quality kitchen. Bed linen and bed made for an excellent sleep. Shower took a bit of getting used to but adequate. Many thanks for a great week’s stay.
Thank you very much for your excellent review. Glad that the books and leaflets were of help to you in exploring the local area. Property Owner

"Another lovely stay at Peggoty's."
We have stayed here a number of times, the cottage has all the facilities we need and is well located centrally in Suffolk. Would highly recommend a stay hete
It is a pleasure to have you return to Peggotty’s and thank you for your complementary review. The weather was certainly kind to you during your stay. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"A fabulous stay at the cottage, we thought it might be noisy being opposite the social club but it didn't disturb at all."
Very friendly people in there and nice to drop in for a drink. The little garden was a delight. There was everything and more for use at the cottage. My only recommendations would be, time to change the pillows and a blind on the bedroom window for privacy. My husband would of liked a bigger TV in the front room as his eyes are mot as strong now. Highly recommend this cottage.
Thank you very much for your positive comments and that you enjoyed your stay, As it is a small cottage, we did not want a larger TV which we feel would dominate the sitting area. There is a spare memory foam pillow in the cupboard should a guest need extra support. Property Owner

"Property owners were very helpful with their information prior to our stay, by way of a phone call where details were given to us of local areas to visit and good restaurants to eat at."
They have also taken time to supply a complete inventory of the many walks in the area which was most useful. We had a great stay at the cottage which was very comfortable. Would definitely return.
We are very pleased that you had an enjoyable stay at Peggotty’s. It was gratifying to hear you made good use of all the information we provided on local walks. Thank you also for the positive feedback. Property Owner

"Loved this cottage the moment we walked in the door."
Probably the best equipped holiday property we have ever stayed in. Has everything. No criticisms. Lovely village and one of the most beautiful and unspoilt areas in Britain. I never realised that such places still existed in this country.
Thank you for your excellent review which we very much appreciate. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Peggotty’s in this beautiful part of Suffolk. Property Owner

"We had a lovely week, 27th April - 4th May 2024."
The cottage is located in the perfect place for visiting the nearby coast and villages such as Aldeburgh, Woodbridge, Framlingham, Orford, Southwold, Dunwich, Norwich and Ipswich. The cottage itself is quite compact and not a lot of storage space in the kitchen there was an empty drawer for our own belongings. The owners did leave us milk, cookies and chocolates which were greatly appreciated however we did find a water filter in the fridge assumably by the previous guests that had a lot of mould on/inside of it which wasn’t that pleasant. The stairs are very steep and wouldn’t be very good for those who struggle to get up and down easily, especially the top stairs to the attic bedroom but we managed. The bathroom was spacious enough however the shower head could have done with being cleaned or changed but all was pleasant besides that. The cottage as a base is perfect for those just coming to travel around the nearby areas. We enjoyed our stay for the most part and would recommend this cottage to others.
Thank you for your comments, pleased that you enjoyed your week at Peggotty’s and visited a wide range of places in the locality. We are aware that the attic stairs are steep but Sykes’ listing does draw attention to this for guests that may find it a challenge. We tried to maximise storage for guests’ food when the kitchen was recently refurbished. Also the concerns you brought to our attention have now been rectified. Property Owner

"A lovely little cottage sitauted in a quiet village not far from Saxmumdham."
It was central to the areas we wanted to visit too. All the facilities in the cottage worked and there was everthing one needed for a pleasant stay. Thank you.

"Peggotty's is a wonderful cottage."
I liked the furnishings, the beds were so comfortable, we slept really well. The cottage was fitted out to a very high standard. It has given me some ideas for my own house. I loved all the pictures and books and ornaments. The location was perfect we visited Minsmere, The East Anglia Transport museum and we had a river cruise where we saw seals. southwold is just a short drive away and a lovely place. I would like to visit again when it's warmer as it wasn't warm enough to use the garden, which has a peaceful summer house at the end. I intend to revisit.
Thank you for your wonderful review and glad that you enjoyed your stay at Peggotty’s. It was good to know that you visited many of our favourite locations. We shall be very pleased to welcome you in the future, should you wish to return. Lyn & Peter Property Owner

"This cottage is absolutely amazing, it just keeps on giving!"
I had everything I could wish for. The positive energy in the village and cottage was all I needed. I joint the yoga classes with Norie in the social club and met some lovely people over there. The birds in the garden while I spend time in the garden house were amazing. I would recommend shopping at Maple Farm in Kelsale. Thanks to the person who left the tastefull cucumbers in the church
We are so pleased that you had such a great stay at Peggotty’s and took full advantage of what the neighbourhood had to offer. Thank you for giving us a brilliant review - much appreciated. Lyn & Peter Property Owner

"Cottage was lovely and we had a good holiday and an enjoyable stay."
Only criticism is that there is no storage for food so this had to be left out. Stairs were steeper than expected but we had already been warned. As we are now older and not as mobile and found the stairs difficult we probably wouldn't be able to stay at Peggottys again.
Thank you for your comments and pleased that you had an enjoyable stay. We had a complete kitchen refurbishment recently ensuring that there were two deep drawers available for food storage. Property Owner

"Peggotty's is a nice cottage."
..immaculately clean and well kitted out. The owners have done an exemplary job. We enjoyed our stay very much. We only took 1 child with us...if the other one had come, things would have been tight. Peggotty's is not a large cottage. The cottage is ideally located and very quiet. Parking is very good. The social club opposite is welcoming.
Your positive response to your stay is very much appreciated. You were very lucky with the unseasonal mild weather for February. Thank you very much for all your encouraging comments. Property Owner

"Pretty much an ideal cottage."
Great facilities, certainly all you might reasonably need and more. Easy parking outside the front door or very close . Good heating . Good sized bedroom. Nice sheets etc. The bed is marginally too hard for us but this is one the owners can never win!! A v. comfortable cottage and highly recommended. Contact with the owners was first rate and all went well. Access to Aldeburgh v good BTW as was shopping in v nearby Saxmundham. (Should you have car problems then Saxmundham Service Centre LTD trading as HOLMES AND JONES at 3 st johns rd IP17 1BE are really great. 1.5 miles away towards Sax. as we discovered. Straightforward guys).
Thank you for your positive comments regarding your recent stay at Peggottys. Your comments regarding local facilities are much appreciated and will be helpful to future guests. Property Owner

"Lovely cottage - complete with everything you could possibly need - so well thought out Slightly cluttered as so many bits and bobs on every surface and wall - but that’s just personal taste."
One thing to be aware of - we already knew the shower was over the bath but for safety’s sake would suggest a hand rail put on the tiled wall of the bath to assist getting in and out
Thank you for your pleasing feedback on your stay at Peggottys. We have taken note of your suggestion for having a handrail in the bathroom. Property Owner

"We were very impressed with Peggotty’s cottage."
It was quirky and cosy, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, even down to the provision of rubber gloves! We were intrigued by the little alley way leading to “Peggotty’s garden” and the garden itself was a delight. Even the summer house was comfortably furnished. It was so convenient being able to park outside the cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would seriously consider another visit.
We were very pleased to receive your excellent review of your stay at Peggotty's. Thank you for your comments on the garden as it is just beginning to to recover after the hot weather. It was gratifying to read in the guest book that you took pleasure from the range of local and nostalgic books. whisking you back to memories of your childhood. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"A very conveniently placed cottage for getting out and about to visit the area."
Comfortable and well equipped with a homely feel and friendly messages from the owners. The walks leaflets are really helpful as if the owner when you phone about the key arrangements. This was our second visit and we wuld use the cottage again for another holiday in the area.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are glad that our local maps/leaflets were of help to you. Many of our guests, like you, have made good use of them in exploring the local area. Property Owner

"A lovely cottage, comfortable and well placed for visiting the coast and surrounding area."
The cottage is well equipped and the owners have taken the time to provide of all sorts of things that might be useful, including maps of the local area and a small rucksack (we had forgotten ours). We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

"The whole holiday was perfect, and staying at Peggotty's was a major part of that."
Perfectly placed for exploring Suffolk's coast; lovely location; and a charming, well thought out cottage. Everything we needed was there for us. We spent all but one evening at the cottage (returning to cook with the amazing local produce!) and it never felt a strain to go back. We will be returning, hopefully, in the near future

"Lovely cottage and very clean with a great selection of books and interesting objects."
The only downside was the very steep and slippery steps up to the loft room and the low beams up there but we were expecting this as the description and photos were fair and accurate. A great place to stay for two adults on their own or with one or two older children. Would definitely recommend.
Dear Paul Thank you for your great feedback and recommendation for future guests. We hope the steep stairs did not detract from enjoying your stay. Property Owner

"We absolutely loved this cottage."

"Peggotty's was a lovely cottage - so quaint and my daughters loved their attic bedroom."
The kitchen was really well equipped and a few lovely suprises were left which we really appreciated. Some previous reviews mentioned mobile signal/wifi - the cottage had fantastic WiFi! Due to illness we weren't able to stay for the duration of our stay but we definitely plan to return. The owners were immensely helpful and we were really grateful to them.
Thank you Monica for the very positive feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed yourselves despite having to cut your stay short. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

"Quaint old fashioned cottage but with top of the range kitchen appliances and wide range of equipment."
Bathroom could be improved and perhaps a new sofa in lounge.
-
"Although cosy a bit too cluttered with pictures (82) & ornaments."
could do with wardrobe for clothes .settees & chairs uncomfortable. could do with 2 settees rather than one & tub chairs. Shower a bit difficult to get temperature right & struggle with shower curtain. would benefit from walk in shower. loads of books,advice etc . didn't realize it hadn't wifi so would stop again because of this. location good.

"This was a lovely cottage in a quite setting."
It was an extremely well equipped cottage, there was nothing that you wanted for. The thoughtful things on arrival were very much appreciated, like the teabags milk and sugar, so you could have a drink if you hadn't got your shopping on the way, not to mention the cookies and wine. It was very central for all the things that we wanted to do in Suffolk and we had a very enjoyable holiday.

"We found the cottage very clean and comfortable in a very quiet and peaceful location."

-
"We had a very enjoyable holiday last week."
The cottage is comfortable and very well equipped.
-
"Although the property was as listed, we are disappointed that the owner told us there may be a little work going on in the next property."
In actuality there were a number of workmen every day from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm, banging and sawing etc. There was also no mention of the social club opposite that had a band on the Saturday evening that lasted until 1.30 am. Not exactly a restful time
-
"Although there is no wifi on the premises, there is free wifi at the village hall situated opposite the cottage."
-
"A welcome package awaited us , which relaxed us immediately."
Home from home, everything you needed , was there. Comfortable and cosy.
-
"Internet connection at the property would have been useful but the option to use the facility could be found at the Village Hall opposite so it was not the end of the world."
We had a lovely stay at Peggoty's regardless.
