"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.
-

-

Warm and cosy after a days sightseeing. The owners were very friendly and welcoming too. We would definitely go back again.
-
"We had a good week with lots of walks in the area Glenhaven was lovely and comfortable had everything we needed so no complaints."
-
"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.

"Cosy, peaceful cottage with all facilities needed."
Better signage for finding in the dark would be helpful. Otherwise a fabulous place to stay.
-
"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

"Perfect for us."
..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

"We had to shorten our holiday due to a family emergency."
However, we have been to this property many times. As per usual it was absolutely spotless and the owners were as friendly and accommodating as they could be in those circumstances.
-
"We had a lovely stay at the bungalow which was ideally situated to be able to visit history, beaches and small pretty villages."
We were able to go on delightful walks both from the door and also farther afield. The bungalow had everything we could want and lots of space. It was extremely comfortable, great to rest weary bones and be ready to enjoy it all again the next day. We would be very happy to holiday here again.
-
"The only problem with the cottage is the toilet is at the opposite end of the building to the bedrooms and bathroom."
-
"We had a wonderful week and hope to return."

"Our second visit."
Beautiful location and very cosy. Lovely hosts. Cannot fault it.
-
"The cottage was perfect for me; extremely quiet, warm, comfortable and well equipped and with good wifi."
The hosts were welcoming and helpful and made sure I was comfortable. My one tiny problem was that there was almost no mobile reception so I wasn't able to set the satnav on my phone from the cottage. That was easily solved by buying a map.
-
"Outstanding."
Could not have been happier and such lovely hosts. We will be back soon.
-

"We really enjoyed our stay at the Tardis-like bungalow Glenhaven."
Spacious and well-appointed with everything we needed. Very quiet with great views across the fields and a perfect place for some rest and relaxation. Conveniently located to access the Suffolk coast with places such as Southwold, Aldeburgh and Dunwich all within easy reach. The friendly owners lived next door and were on hand to welcome us upon our arrival.

"A spotless, spacious, warm and comfortable cottage in a tranquil location."
Lovely views from every window. Plenty of parking space - and a bike shed too! Perfect location for our birdwatching holiday. We will bring bikes next time as the countryside looks great for that too. Charming helpful hosts. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

"A very well equipped cottage in a very quiet location with lovely views across fields"
-
"Lovely cream tea on arrival, just what the doctor ordered!"
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.
-
"Did not realise that the bungalow was so in the heart of the countryside."
The view from the kitchen window was over a barley field and it was great not hearing traffic noise. The hosts Sandy and Julien lived next door but were not intrusive at all and came up trumps over any minor difficulties. What is more we love it so much we will be booking next year.
-
"Glenhaven is lovely accommodation , I do think it ought to be listed as bit far out for a shop is at least 3 miles away from a shop , pub etc ."
if you couldn’t drive & like us being elderly not been fit enough to walk miles , definitely need a car . But a lovely spot , it’s good to point these things out before booking , & great for serious walkers & cyclists

Ideally situated toi

"We had a lovely relaxing week away in this lovely bungalow."

"Great location, quiet, peaceful and surrounded by some lovely countryside."
The cottage was a brilliant base for exploring the Suffolk villages and allowed easy access to the coast. All round excellent accommodation and helpful host.
-
"The cottage could not have been better."
Extremely well equipped, great people and it provided the tranquility I had been researching for months. I had to start a diet after the lovely scones & clotted cream which took me back a few years. DOH!!!!!! When I booked I saw the comments regarding the scones and clotted cream and was adamant I wouldn't mention them but I admit I couldn't resist saying something about them :) Many thanks Sandi & Julian, I will be booking again. Best regards, Roger

"Glenhaven was spotlessly clean, comfortable and very well equipped."
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.
-
"Very welcoming and friendly host/owner."
Homely and well equipped property in a great location with easy access to other towns and amenities.
-
"We arrived late and the owner had put the outside lights on for us which was a great help to locate it on a dark lane."
Excellent set of area information. great location central for many places to visit. So peaceful it was a real tonic.
-
"Lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting."
Only one small downside for us was the toilet not being in the bathroom. Had to walk right through the kitchen, dining room and hallway. A little difficult when you need to visit the toilet frequently in the night (not a problem for younger people).
-
"Lovely welcome, large rooms, well situated cottage."
Not far from Aldeburgh and not far from facilities in Saxmundham. Very large kitchen. Cottage very clean and well equipped, though a dishwasher would have been a welcome addition. Would definitely return to this comfortable location where there is plenty to see and do nearby.
-
"This was a lovely home from home bungalow which had everything that you would need."
A warm welcome from the owner and a nice touch with jam & cream scones.All in all it was a nice place to return to at the end of the day.
-
"The hosts were excellent - attentive and quick to solve two small problems which arose, but not intrusive."
The holiday was just what my wife and I wanted, quiet and relaxing, but near to the amenities we wished to visit, and with the added bonus of plenty of bird life for my wife, who is a keen bird watcher! Heartily recommended!
-
"Tranquil setting surrounded by fields, lovely place to unwind."
Cosy and spacious bungalow, met all our needs. Would certainly recommend.
-
"Helpful couple who provided some excellent home grown tomatoes and a cream tea."
RSPB Minsmere nearby is now excellent and very posh.

In beautiful countryside but also near to the Aldeburgh and Southwold coast. Very pleasant helpful owners.
-
"This bungalow is deep in the heart of Suffolk."
It is very well presented, warm and welcoming. The owner was there to meet us and showed us round, leaving scones and cream for tea! It was a chilly few days but the heating came on and we were very comfortable. Everything worked. We like bird watching, and there are feeders outside in the huge garden and a resident green woodpecker!
-
