"The room was very clean and well equipped. The staff at reception and in the restaurant were excellent."

"Toad Hall is a very old Lady and has its quirky bits like any property that has stood for so long, however this is truly part of its charm. We managed to arrive just as the house keeper was leaving so we were given a tour of the place, which was a kind and unexpected bonus! As a result we did not have to touch a thing, as everything from the heating to the freezer had been switched on. The heating was perfectly adequate for all the family and we didn’t need the main fire despite the weather outside. All the white goods seemed to have been newly installed and the bedding and beds were perfectly comfortable. There are one or two tired areas particularly the kitchen cabinets which have been in the property a long time by the look of them, as have the sofas. We didn’t get the best of the weather whilst staying and as such the garden was very boggy and in places there was a lot of standing water in the garden and down the lanes leading to the property, which was more problematic when walking the dog. One thing that we did find a little odd, was that the owners don’t provide towels, which we have never had to do in any other holiday accommodation that we have been to, over a number of years. This said my wife and I along with our children and grandchildren had a lovely time. We played table tennis and various board games as well as going to the nearest beaches about 30 minutes drive away. In summary, if you are looking for a clean lines all singing all dancing up to the minute property to spend time in, you will have picked the wrong place. If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat, that has charm and character, oozing from every beam and sloping floor, you might have picked yourself the exact property."

"We had a wonderful week staying at the Milking Parlour in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. The location was perfect, offering easy access to Ipswich and charming surrounding villages. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and friendly, making us feel right at home. The accommodation itself was cosy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway. Highly recommended for anyone looking to escape to the countryside!"

"We were made very welcome by Clare at the Owls nest. Upon arrival we found the the accommodation very warm and welcoming. We had everything we needed and more in this beautiful peaceful setting. The Owl nest was the perfect place to stay while visiting family who live close by."

"Ideal quiet location with country walks on doorstep. Nice biscuits for arrival with lovely fluffy towels and house facilities needed for our stay. Warm welcome from owner on arrival.With warm evening, I took the opportunity to sit out on patio. The property is a maisonette so some noise from above. But this did not affect our stay. Excellent location for Southwold, Aldeburgh, Framlingham and Woodbridge. Ideal property for our two small dogs. I recommend property if you after are somewhere secluded."

"Michael was an excellent host, communication was quick and nothing was too much trouble. I loved the place. Everything was as described and pictured. Had everything i needed for my 2 night stay. The addition of an airfryer made meals easier to decide what to have. Will definitely be back if the availability is there when i am next this way. The bed was one of the most comfortable i have slept in and slept really well. Thank you Matthew"
