“Great dog friendly pce with lake and walks nearby.”

Very close to historic sites in Suffolk. We will return.

Very close to historic sites in Suffolk. We will return.

Barbara September 2024

“We had an amazing time, the cottage was lovely, in a perfect setting, near to lots of historical places to visit.”

Also close to the coast & beautiful seaside towns. We loved it, our only problem was because I am disabled I struggled with the low comfy sofas. Other than that it was perfect . Barbara Dawes

Paul July 2024

“Our only criticism is that whilst there was a weak but usable free wi-fi supplied, the mobile phone network coverage was nil.”

This was with Vodafone. Other networks might have been better. I suppose this is only to be expected as the cottage which is amongst the best we have ever been to in 12 years is in a beautiful setting in the middle of nowhere.

Susan June 2024

“Property was comfortable and well stocked and the grounds maintained to a high standard with lovely plants/flowers.”

Great play areas for children with a huge choice of equipment/games and also a splendid indoor facility which we enjoyed. Excellent location for exploring the Suffolk coast. Downside was the water pump running ALL WEEK in the next field (except for about 4 hours each night when it ran out of fuel) so we were not able to enjoy the peace and quiet this lovely setting deserved. We fully understand that crops need watering but it does have an impact on the tranquility when that is being done.

Chloe June 2023

“Great location , beautiful grounds, lots to do and seating for lounging in the sun.”

- Chloe, June 2023
Michael June 2023

“Lovely place but in need of attention ie deep clean and better shower.”

Would be great if given more loving care Was not the standard we normally get with Sykes

- Michael, June 2023
Diane May 2023

“Lovely quiet position.”

Thoughtful extras including cookies, milk and bread. Spacious and comfortable. Shared utility facilities and barbecue and games room. Would be great for families as well, huge play apparatus and sit on toys for children. Only negative the outside woodwork and windows need cleaning.

- Diane, May 2023
Edward March 2023

“We love the property its ideal being on one level as my partner Kim struggles with stairs as she has got fybromalgia.”

We noticed when we used hot water after few seconds it went lukewarm. We used the oven a couple of times and thought the trays could need to be renewed. Everything else was bang on we love it can't wait to come back

- Edward, March 2023
Edward December 2022

“We found the property ideal being all on one level as my partner stuggles with a back problem.”

It was well set-up and very comfortable and in a lovely location with a lot of ground also good facilities as in a laundry room and games room. We are looking forward to going back there when the weather is better hopefully in March

- Edward, December 2022
Adam November 2022

“Great accommodation, beautiful location close to everything you would like to see and do and very friendly management.”

Couldn't do enough for you.

- Adam, November 2022
Viv October 2022

“This is our second stay at these cottages And we will return.”

They suit us very well. A group of cottages set around a lovely courtyard. The large pond attracts many wild ducks and birds. You feel as if you are in the middle of the country but not far from the main roads to access further afield. We love walking in the forests, which aren’t far away but also the estuary walks and coast.

- Viv, October 2022
Charles February 2022

“The "twin" bed on which I slept was less comfortable than I could have hoped, but with a number of sleepers of different weights, that's probably inevitable.”

I would like to thank the host personally for her kindness in putting me in touch with a doctor when I needed advice and treatment. She could not have been more helpful.

- Charles, February 2022
Eileen February 2022

“This was an ideal cottage for our needs, very central for all the places we wished to visit.”

Cottage facilities excellent and appreciated the bread, milk and biscuits for our arrival. Also appreciated the 10% discount voucher for the nearby farm shop. Our dog loved the grounds,lake and the ducks. Would certainly return to this property if visiting Suffolk again

- Eileen, February 2022
John August 2021

“We were made very welcome when we arrived, and because I admired a lovely tub of Sweetpeas, a message was sent to me that I was welcome to pick as many as I liked, so I did and they were gorgeous!”

It was so nice to find milk, fresh bread and some biscuits had been left for us. The bed was extremely comfortable, and there was plenty of hot water. Just one thing, and it is not really a complaint, but I have recently had surgery on both my knees and found the over the bath shower tricky so grab handle would have been handy, but then how many people do you get who have just got two new knees!! We had a lovely week. Thank you.

- John, August 2021
Sally August 2020

“The cottage was in a lovely location and had great facilities.”

Lots of lovely little touches, such as bread, milk & cookies when we arrived and thoughtful stuff like boxes of tissues etc. The games room was a great facility too.

- L, September 2019
Geoffrey August 2019

“Very comfortable holiday and prompt response from proprietor to any queries.”

- Geoffrey, August 2019
Andrew June 2019

“Accommodation was set in a lovely garden with a large pond where birds gathered.”

Very restful environment with a well equipped and comfortable cottage. Having the use of a barbecue, games room, laundry room and childrens play area meant that the site can meet the needs of different peoples needs. Would definitely return if in the area on another occasion.

- Andrew, June 2019
Linda May 2019

“Horseshoe Cottage was in a beautiful location.”

A peaceful haven of tranquility. The bird life around the pond kept us amused and the grounds are full of well tended plants. The cottage was very clean and well presented - a home from home. The cottage was perfectly situated for visiting family in in Aldringham and Tunstall and we would be happy for a return stay and will certainly be recommending this holiday location to family and friends. We have booked cottages with you on various occasions and they have always met or exceeded our expectations. Well Done.

- Linda, May 2019
Jennifer June 2018

“Second time we have stayed at Horseshoe cottage and would like to go again.”

Very well placed for visiting coast and country. Farm shop was very useful. Very sorry to hear that the owner had died but we had a lovely welcome from his wife's sister.

- Jennifer, June 2018
Sylvia September 2017

“We had a really good time the cottage was lovely and my ferrets loved the grounds were the large pond was, we had some lovely long morning walks around it.”

All in all everything was great.

- Sylvia, September 2017

- Maureen, December 2016

There were lots of walks for the dogs.

- Bruce, May 2016
