“A well equipped cottage which suited our needs very well.”

A good location for our visits to Sutton Hoo, Dunwich and Woodbridge. A warm welcome from Lennie on arrival. Thanks for the surprise gift of wine and cookies, which we all enjoyed.

Deanna September 2024

“Harvest Moon is a wonderful cottage.”

It has a home-from-home feeling, was warm and cosy and the location is perfect, surrounded by peaceful countryside. Our hosts, Teresa and Lennie were very warm and welcoming, we couldn't have hoped for anything better ... and the wine, biscuits and milk on arrival were very welcome. Can't wait to return

Marcus August 2024

“A very quiet and remote location, but in easy reach of local amenities and tourist attractions.”

There is everything you would need in the property and the large garden was a bonus, especially in the evenings for watching lovely sunsets. We had plenty of room with 2 adults and two teenagers. Owners really friendly and on hand if needed.

“The listing should indicate that the single rooms are tiny and not really suitable for adults, they are more suitable for a family with children.”

Our friends found difficulty accessing their luggage. The fan in the bathroom did not appear to be working and the room fogged up with each shower. It was a very suitable modern unit, The dishwasher was appreciated.

“This is an excellent property with everything we could have wanted - one of the best we have spent our holiday's in.”

It's also within easy reach of Grundisburgh with it's village shop and Woodbridge with a great variety of shop's, pub's, cafe's and the 'Tide Mill'. It's also within half an hour of the seaside at Aldeburgh - a very interesting and picturesque place to visit.

Karen October 2023

“Overall a good property and well situated Only problems were intermittent WI FI, and lack of serving spoons!”

- Karen, October 2023

Thank you for bringing to our attention about spoons have already sorted it.Sorry for wifi problems had no problems before all we can think off is the very bad weather the week you stayed. Grundisburgh had floods for the first time in history. Property Owner
Paul September 2023

“A well presented property in a quiet rural location.”

The hosts were friendly and made sure we were happy and had everything we needed for our stay.

- Paul, September 2023
Peter September 2023

“A quiet location despite the student cars taking the lane as a shortcut to Otley college.”

Not seen the night sky as clear as that for a long time. The tabletop freezer was sufficient for our self-catering needs. Everything was easy to use but the original manuals were available if needed. Grundisburgh church with its many angels in its roof beams is well worth a visit as is the coffee shop in the village. The post office shop had everything for daily needs. The local roads were easy driving although windy like almost every road in Suffolk.

- Peter, September 2023
David August 2023

“My wife, daughter and I spent 5 nights in Harvest Moon and we found it to be a very comfortable cottage with everything provided for us.”

Maureen July 2023

“A lovely house.”

Very comfortable. Some milk, wine & cookies were left for us which was much appreciated. The owners Teresa & Lennie live next door & were very welcoming. Well positioned house on the edge of the village. Close to the wonderful gardens at Helmingham hall, National trust Sutton Hoo, Flatford Mill & Orford as well as Woodbridge. We would stay here again.

“We had a most enjoyable week in this lovely cottage.”

“Our first stay in Suffolk and the cottage certainly added to our holiday.”

Very comfy and the wine and cookies were a lovely touch. The owners were there to welcome us and it was good to know they were close by if needed, thankfully not. It was nice to have separate kitchen. We will certainly be back, even though we had a lot of rain. The pub in the village is well worth a visit, meal very good.

Tina February 2020

“Harvest Moon was without a doubt the cleanest and best facilitated Sykes Cottage so far.”

It truly was a home from home in every sense. Starting with a warm welcome from our host (Teresa ) and continuing as soon as we stepped inside. We were instantly relaxed, warm and comfortable. The attention to detail was second to none. If you need a stress free time away from your normal routine then I would highly recommend Harvest Moon. It has everything you need and more with plenty of things to do in the surrounding area if you choose.

- Tina, February 2020

Graeme August 2019

“Harvest Moon is an excellent holiday cottage: clean, comfortable, with all necessary items provided along with books, games and DVDs.”

The garden is grassy and spacious, ideal for relaxing in or playing sport/games as we did with our two wee boys. The owners are very friendly, helpful, accessible but not intrusive. Surrounding countryside is lovely, as is the nearby village of Grundisburgh and the closest town, Woodbridge. All in all, first class.

Carole August 2017

“I took my daughter and her two small children on holiday to Harvest Moon Cottage.”

Tho we now live in Norfolk, we are originally from Suffolk and lived there for many years. I actually went to school in the Village of Grundisburgh where the Cottage is situated. The owners who we got chatting with, are lovely people. Friendly, helpful and kind. We were lucky with the weather as it was warm and sunny every day but one........on the only day it rained the owners brought round dvd's for the children and also gave us eggs from their chickens. The accommodation is very much home from home.......comfortable and cosy........we loved the peace and quiet of the large garden. We very much appreciated the little welcoming touches of Cake, Biscuits and a bottle of Wine. We would definitely like to return and have told the Owners that. They are very warm, welcoming people.

Oliver April 2017

“Very comfortable cottage and a warm welcome from the owner.”

Everything we could have wanted was there. Only snag - which we knew about and which is anyway quite impossible to do anything about - was that the bathroom was on the ground floor and that the bathroom and wc were behind the same door.

- Oliver, April 2017
Alexandra April 2017

“Harvest Moon exceeded my expectations, it was a beautifully decorated cottage, child friendly and in a great location for a relaxing family holiday.”

The photos don't really do it justice. The owners Teresa and Lenny were friendly and helpful without being intrusive and we had a lovely time!

- Alexandra, April 2017
Ian September 2016

“I have marked Sykes as ' meeting our expectations' as we have booked with you before and expected high standards - and we were not disappointed!”

I particularly like how you make it so easy on your website to filter out the 'dog friendly' properties as I have acute health issues that are triggered by prolonged exposure to animal fur/dander. Keep up the good work and stress to your property owning clients that if their accommodation is advertised as 'no pets' it must always be so for the sake of my comfort and others like me. Keep up the good work and we will keep returning to you!
