• "This is a beautiful period property."

  The owners were very welcoming, came to check we was OK, lovey welcome pack, we could make a cup of tea and have a biscuit before we unloaded the car. The open fire was all made up ready to light later that evening. Everything is there that you need. Beds very comfortable and handy with the upstairs toilet. We would come back again but in one of the other properties. We did read about the steep staircase, but by the end of the week it was just a bit to much for us oldies!!, but for younger people it's ok. A few little things that the owners are getting round to is the huge pot holes in the drive and the fishing pond needs some attention. But other than that a lovely, relaxing holiday was had. Look forward to seeing the owners again in the future.

  Hey there, glad you had a lovely stay. The drive was completed this week so no more pot holes! We are working around the garden pruning back the trees! The pond trees are next! Property Owner

• "A good base for exploring Suffolk & nearby is Halesworth - a pretty market town with a variety of independent shops & eateries plus a pleasant riverside walk."

  The ‘cottage’ adjoins the owners’ house and Jacqui came round to welcome us on the first day with homemade jam. A welcome pack was provided. The property is a listed building and it has been sympathetically restored whilst including modern comforts. There’s an area outside the cottage designated for the use of guests during their stay, part of much larger communal gardens, but it isn’t obvious from the property description that it is not entirely enclosed and close to a very busy A road. Also the communal gardens have ponds & hidden ditches (part of a moat). The owners’ dog and dogs staying at the other holiday cottages share the gardens. We were disappointed that we couldn’t enjoy sitting out in ‘our’ garden with our dogs off their leads. If you have children they would also need to be supervised. If we didn’t have the dogs with us we would have had a more enjoyable stay.

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Rookyards."

  The cottage was great for the four of us and the beds very comfortable! Jacqui and Nick made us feel very welcome and the homemade jam and brownies on arrival were delicious. Everything was clean and to a high standard, it was lovely to have the garden all around us to enjoy. We found Rookyards to be well located for exploring the area, a few minutes drive to the nice town of Halesworth and just over 15 minutes to the coast. Thank you!

• "Rookyards was a beautiful well laid out cottage."

  It had everything one needed with some special touches, very well thought out. The beds & pillows were so comfortable. The outside gardens were wonderful for our two dogs especially our younger dog who loves to chase her ball she had lots od space for running around. Our hosts were very welcoming & went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed. It is well placed for short drives to many lovely villages & the seaside along with some lovely country pub with delicious food.

• "We had a fantastic stay."

  Really nice and friendly and great welcome package. Only remark is perhaps you’d need a coffee pot to make use of the coffee ? We had our moka pot with us but otherwise we didn’t find one in the cupboard. Also love that Jam.

  Hi there, thanks very much for lovely feedback and pleased you had such a great stay in Rookyards Cottage. For future reference, we do supply a cafetière in the cottage, its kept in the corner cupboard, sorry you didn't find it! Thanks again and hope to see you all in the future! Jacqui Property Owner

• "Excellent accommodation-spacious, comfortable, clean, peaceful, tastefully furnished & decorated."

  The owners, who live adjacent, are most helpful and really nice people who go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. This is a perfect base from which to explore east Suffolk and south Norfolk. Nearby Halesworth is a little gem as are the numerous country churches eg Huntingfield, Wenhaston, Walpole, Covehithe.

  Thanks so much for wonderful feedback and very pleased you had such a lovely time in the cottage. I agree, Halesworth is a lovely little town! Hope to see you again, Jacqui x Property Owner

• "The Cottage is in a lovely country setting."

  After a long day of travelling we were pleased to get into the cottage to be greated by a kettle that was boiling, tea bags, coffee, biscuits and milk all waiting for us. Later we could sit back and enjoy the bottle of wine also there for us. A lovely welcome, thank you
