Glenhaven

• "Glenhaven is a beautiful cottage in a peaceful and tranquil location."

  It is well equiped with everything we needed. Our only negative was the toilet is separate from the bathroom near to the entrance of the cottage so if you need to go during the night, there are a couple of rooms to go through first. This wouldn't put us off visiting again as everything else was perfect.

• "A very spacious and comfortable bungalow with a large well equipped kitchen."

  Sandy, the owner who lives next door was very welcoming and had left delicious scones with jam and cream. She also very kindly offered to send my phone charger which we left behind. All very much appreciated, thank you. We had a good holiday and were able to see our daughters who live in the Norwich area as well as visiting places in the local area.

• "We had a fabulous week in this really comfortable bungalow."

  Shower was excellent! Bungalow was spacious and full of lovely old furniture, we felt very much at home there. We made good use of the large and peaceful garden and saw deer, woodpeckers and many, many rabbits!! The surrounding area is lovely - beautiful countryside and so many pretty places to visit including Southwold & Walberswick, Aldeburgh & Thorpeness. Also great for antique hunting - we went home with a van full which is always pleasing :) Highly recommended.

• "Glenhaven is set in open countryside and was clean, spacious and comfortable with added extras such as a cream tea to welcome us, binoculars, a tv guide and a lovely drench shower."

  The huge, lawned garden was available for our use and there was an outside seating area. The owners were on hand next door and were friendly, but not intrusive. We would definitely recommend this as a base to explore Suffolk.

• "A warm welcome on arrival, and a quiet, warm and comfortable place to spend a few days over Christmas, getting away from it all."

  Delicious scones and mince pies waiting in the kitchen too, thank you very much! Plenty of space, especially as there were just the two of us, and big, fluffy, sweet-smelling towels to use after the excellent shower/bath. The mattress was rather firm, but didn’t stop us from sleeping well. Far-ranging views over fields to the front and the back, and a large lawned garden to one side where we saw squirrels and pheasants, plus a woodpecker. Note that the living room chairs showing in the photos have been replaced with two sofas (a two seater and a three seater), so there’s ample seating, and there is a smart tv on which we were able to watch Netflix :-) All in all we were able to spend a very cosy and peaceful few days away from home, which was exactly what we were looking for.

• "Far toofar to go to toilet at night."

  Heating was full on but not really adaquate.

  I am sorry but there is nothing I can do about the walk to the toilet. Regarding the heating. It is controlled by the box in the living room. If asked it is a case of pushing a button to raise the temperature. I would have happily done this. It is hard to know what to set it at as different people prefer different temperatures but could have been remedied quickly if asked. Property Owner

  ..really liked the "Dark Skies" and the space outside around the property. Everything you could need, really close to RSPB Centres eg Minsmere and others which is why we travelled to this area. Hosts were so welcoming with a cream tea on arrival. If you like peace and quiet then this is the place for you. Thanks again Carol & Frank

  Cottage was on the outskirts of a very quiet village and in the afternoon we watched hares in the stubble field from the kitchen window before they retired to the thick hedgerow. Take binoculars if you have any. Lovely owners who live next door and are only too happy to help with any queries or questions about the area.

  The bungalow is in a lovely peaceful setting and there are nice views over the surrounding countryside. We spent a very pleasant week there despite the weather which was cold and windy a lot of the time, but as we were visiting family some of the time this was not too important and we could look forward to returning to a cosy, warm holiday home at the end of the day. We would certainly return to Glenhaven and hope to do so very soon.
