Six nights at Rubblestone Cottage

The cottage is very clean, tidy and cosy, it was perfect for our needs. The garden is beautiful and I loved an early morning coffee outside with the moorhens. Our host, Caroline was friendly and very helpful, her parents at the main house were great too! I would definitely recommend staying here, the peace and quiet is wonderful, I'd hope to visit again.

A delightful return to East Suffolk

In our brief visit we enjoyed two concerts at Snape Maltings, visits to Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, and Orford for a wonderful fish lunch at Pinney's.Rubblestone Cottage was an ideal base and everything possible seemed to have been thought of to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Hi, my name is Caroline, I took over the running of Rubbblestone Cottage in 2015, prior to this my husbands parents had been running the cottage for over 20 years. They still live in the main house and have been living at the farm for 84 (frank) and 55 (Hilda) years. We look forward to welcoming guests old and new every year.

Why they chose this property
