Hi Spencer, thanks for the review. Yes, I'm lucky to live in this part of the world; my grandad chose well when he built the bungalow where he did in the early sixties!

There are many fine attributes to this property such as a top location in the centre of this delightful town yet set back in a very quiet lane backing on to a cricket field. The beds were fine and the inside of the house was as described. We had problems with no hot water, a back door not locking and the arcane heating system with no instructions when we arrived. These were promptly attended to by the owner’s representative who arrived quickly on site and rectified them. Later we had to clean the path to the front door of moss from the roof and the patio furniture and floor of bird droppings that had been there for some time - these should have been attended to before our visit, What is not disclosed in the listing is that the accommodation is one of three attached and the last of the three and the other two are under renovation which with building materials lying around - it makes for a disappointing entrance to the property, We were not disturbed by any noises from this renovation for the 5 days we were there.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Sehr ruhig, obwohl es im Zentrum von Long Melford liegt. Ideal für Menschen mit Hund. Toller Zugang zum Garten und von dort zum Cricketplatz und einer schönen Wanderroute.Gartenmöbel unglaublich bequem!Der Bungalow selbst ist einfach und schnörkellos eingerichtet. Absolut kein Schnickschnack! Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Tolle Gegend für Ausflüge!

About the host

Hosted by Louie Brown

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Louie, I live next door to the Walled Garden. My father and grandfather built the mirror image bungalows in the early 60's and I have lived in one or the other for all but the first 18 months of my life!
I'm an ecologist by trade and have had a life-long interest in natural history. I'm a keen traveller and love walking , especially in northern Spain where I have walked many old pilgrim routes (caminos)

Why they chose this property

My eldest son and myself recently renovated the property, which now keeps me busy.
Over the years I have seen many changes in Long Melford but can't think of anywhere else I'd rather live!

What makes this property unique

The Walled Garden has a unique position in the village. It is located down a long driveway, so is very tranquil, but is also a 5 minute walk from a selection of shops, tearooms, pubs and restaurants.
There is access via the back gate and cricket field to a selection of footpaths, ideal for those with dogs that need exercising.
It is also a great location for exploring Suffolks medieval villages and for a longer day out the Suffolk coastline and nature reserves.
