“We have left details of basic shortcomings in the Repair Book in the cottage.”

They are :- upstairs bedroom window unable to open Lock on side door very difficult to open Salt required for dishwasher Despite the foregoing, we ha£ a great time- helped in part by a week of blues skies!

- Gerald, June 2024

Dear Gerald, Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to hear that you had a lovely holiday at Ash Tree Cottage. I was the next person staying after you so I saw your comments in the repair book and have fixed the things you have mentioned. If you do ever stay again and have problems please don't hesitate to contact Best of Suffolk or my housekeepers during your stay and we will work to remedy anything straight away. Best wishes, Cecily (owner) Property Owner

“Excellent, clean and clutter free cottage.”

Massive garden, walks from the doorstep and close to all the best bits of the Suffolk coast. I can see why people repeat book this property and we hope to visit again.

Kathryn April 2024

“Clean and comfortable in a lovely location.”

Lots of walks in the area and the main reason we booked this property was to visit RSPCA Minsmere, which we visited and had a lovely time. Southwold, Walbeswick and coast really nice, with the heathland and trees just coming into leaf. We had a perfect week.

Nigel April 2024

“The cottage was spacious, nicely decorated with interesting pictures.”

The bed was comfortable but the duvet was not fastened at the end so it slipped out of the cover overnight. Disappointed that the upholstered dining room chairs shown on the web site description had been replaced by uncomfortable, hard plastic chairs. The website photos should be amended to stop false impressions. The garden was large, with nice furniture and not over-looked. The location was excellent for visiting the coastal towns both north and south of the cottage.

- Nigel, April 2024

Dear Nigel, Many thanks for your feedback. My apologies that the chairs weren't as you expected. The fabric ones kept getting broken\damaged so I have had to replace them. As I see that you have rebooked for next year I wanted to let you know that inside the bench seat in the dinning room is some cushions for the chairs, you may not have found them during your stay. I hope that improves your next visit. Best wishes, Cecily (owner). Property Owner

“Well equipped and very clean property with lovely large gardens (though note that any children would need supervision as not fully fenced off from road).”

Comfortable beds. Lots to do in the area including places to eat and walks from the front door. Our only gripes would be a lack of towel rail next to the bathroom basin and duvets too high a tog given the cottage was warm upstairs even in April with upstairs radiators turned off, but they are minor compared to all the things that were great.

“A wonderfully bright, comfortable and spacious cottage with an amazing and very large garden!”

The kitchen and dining space can be enjoyed together, and if you enjoy cooking there is everything you need to self cater. We travelled for my mother's 82nd Birthday and my sister's 50th Birthday and the cottage was a perfect retreat for this. The local contacts that work on behalf of the owner are very friendly, and easily contactable. We didn't have contact with the owner, but she was very kind when my mother brushed past a picture which brought the hooks out of the wall and caused the picture to fall. We reported it and it was not a problem for which my elderly mother was hugely relieved, as she had been a little distressed when it happened! Thank you on her behalf from her grateful son! This cottage is highly recommended. We didn't stay in summer, so couldn't make full use of the garden, but I imagine it's a delight in summer!

“Very relaxing location.”

Good amenities, comfy bed and a bonus having a smart TV.

Karen February 2024

“This was our third visit to Ashtree Cottage.”

We love the space inside and outside and the privacy and the peace and quiet. The Cottage has quality furnishings and is very well equipped. We appreciated the attention to detail such as providing shower gel, shampoo, hand soap and kitchen roll and the wine and nibbles were a bonus. It is in a perfect position for birdwatching with RSPB Minsmere and Dunwich Heath only a short drive away.

“We have stayed at Ash Tree Cottage for the past 7 summers and it seems to get better every time we visit.”

The owner has made the cottage feel so welcoming, relaxing and comfortable, with some lovely personal touches such as the wall art, which is why we love it so much. The large garden and outdoor space is fantastic. The cottage is situated in a quiet location, backing onto fields, yet close to all the places of interest in the area. We are always very sad to leave and would once again like to thank the owner for the opportunity to experience Ash Tree Cottage and all it has to offer.

Karen April 2023

“We loved staying here.”

There was so much room inside and out and we appreciated the well equipped kitchen too. Having good quality extras such as hand soap, shower gel and shampoo was a bonus as well as the very welcome bottle of wine and nibbles. The house was well placed for bird watching with Minsmere and Dunwich Heath nearby. We have already booked to go back!
