Our aim in booking, was suitable-size property, with parking, close to Stowmarket. It certainly ticked all desired boxes, and more! Lovely property, characterful, cosy, welcoming, quiet. Everything about the property was perfect. And our too-short long-weekend stay in the area was all the better for that. Wish we were back there NOW!

A charming village cottage.

We had a lovely time staying at this Suffolk cottage. The property was clean, newly renovated and full of character. We had great fun playing all the board games, visiting local attractions and exploring the public footpaths. A gem of a place!

Beautiful old cottage

Mike went above and beyond to show us his house during the check in. Food and wine was left for us which really came in handy for breakfast the following morning. Historical home that we’d never find back in Australia. All the family were happy

Steve

This charming cottage, which included clever and beautiful renovations, surpassed our expectations based on the online photos. Our host, Mike, was very gracious and his communication before, during, and after our time was wonderful. Great Finborough was a delightful town and we enjoyed its folks and access to the coastal towns we wanted to visit on day trips. Thank you, Mike!

Beautiful place

A lovely period cottage that has been sympathetically renovated and beautifully decorated. Communication with Mike was excellent and the welcome tour to explain how everything worked in the property was very welcome. Absolutely everything had been thought about and provided, even down to lovely sharp knives in the kitchen to a coffee machine with high quality fittings and furnishings throughout. The cottage is in a charming village with a lovely courtyard style garden that includes a pretty brick built reading room which was a favourite place to chill out.There are walks from the door and a great pub opposite. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return soon.
