Lovely shower and comfy bed, warm, good range of kitchen facilities and nice decor in a character property. Good communication from Rob, very accommodating.
No fresh milk, outer door step difficult to see in the dark (needs a white line edging), downstairs toilet, steep steps to bedrooms

Great location for exploring and a really cosy little cottage. Nice village and everything we needed was in the cottage and just perfect for us.

Shabby from outside. Washing machine with washing going. Tumble dryer on with a strap round it. Grill didn’t get hot for ages. Every draw had towels in them or odd toot apart from a dark hole in bedroom corner. Toilet under seat dirty. Dust and grime around toilet and under sink. Toilet taps hard to turn on, sink in shower room plug would not hold water. Stairs were almost like a ladder and you had to walk through double room into the 2 single bed room with a curtain in the doorway (not good for friends) or older family that may have to visit toilet in the night which was downstairs. So my dad slept downstairs. The fridge wouldn’t stay open as it was tilting backwards. In the kitchen 2 x double cupboards were FULL of cleaning products and a squeezy bottle of bleach mixed with water in-front of Tv for an apparently £200 rug if you spilt anything on it. Not what you need when you rent somewhere for 2 nights.

We loved the little added extras, the fresh milk, coffee etc. The cottage is lovely and the location is perfect for travelling through Norfolk. The shower is amazing by the way!!! I didn't want to get out

Fully equipped with everything you might possibly need, good beds and kitchen, comfy sofa. Cute, quirky cottage.
No problems, the road was busier than expected, but not a problem.

The owner Rob is extremely pleasant and helpful. The cottage was easy to access with the key safe. The location was great for Diss and Bury St Edmunds. The village was lovely with a nice grocery shop and fish and chip shop.The local pub was friendly too. The kitchen in the cottage was well fitted and the shower was good.
The description did not mention that there were steep stairs and that the toilet was downstairs. My 81 year old friend needed to get up several times during the night and struggled with the stairs. She ended up sleeping downstairs the last few nights which she said was not as comfortable as the bed. The whole property could do with a little makeover as it has a lot of potential. The parking is listed as on site but it is not. You have to park on the road but that was not too much of a problem.

Great to be in such an old house
All great, bathroom could have been cleaner. But no problem

Quirky and full of character. Lovely period cottage.
Small and awkward to use staircase to first floor. I wonder if an additional barrier should be fitted at the top to stop people accidentally falling down it from the first floor.

Bags of character.Easy to reach Diss for an event we attended.Clean and tidy.Living area quite spacious.
Description for cottage stated on site parking. There was none. We had to park on the road near to a junction. It was not made clear on description that the second bedroom was accessed through the first bedroom and there was no door between the rooms just a make shift curtain. The stairs are very steep and whilst this was not a problem for us it could be for other users and this info is not in the description details.

Suited me for a short work stay , quirky stairs to bedroom . Only suitable for able body people . All facilities good.

Location was nice and quiet. The cottage was incredible, felt like I had stepped into another world with the way the house has been constructed from the living room upstairs. Was really nice.
Literally the only 2 things that I could possibly pick with the place are:
- Doorway to the stairs is quite low - bit awkward for me as I'm 6 foot! But nothing to be done there
- The key lockbox was a tiny bit awkward. I dropped the key trying to put it in. A small magnet inside to hold it to the back when putting it back would be a nice touch.

We loved the cosy and quirky character of the cottage. It was well laid out, with everything you might need for your stay. The bedding and the soft furnishings were all lovely quality and the whole cottage was spotlessly clean. It was like a home from home.
Not a criticism but some more information on the history of the house would be great.

Good location .. very quaint .. have stayed before and will stay again as has parking on the street outside all mod cons dishwasher fridge oven and hob
Woodburner
Nice touch providing Xmas trees and arrangements and candles …
The owner was very responsive when phoned as we had a power cut and was already sitting outside when we decided to alert him as he had had a notification already
Very steep and awkward staircase although in keeping with the quaint and quirkiness of the property but not disabled friendly
The bedding and some of the soft furnishings could. benefit from updating although they are serviceable the ones provided and this wouldn’t stop me from rebooking this property again
I did bring my own bedding this time but that was my preference
Traffic noise for a few hours on weekday mornings rush hour time

Location great
The property could do with a spring clean. The garden could be lovely but not very inviting patio chairs and table dirty garden had been strimmned but loose cuttings left. We took our grandson and not great for him to play. Washing left in washer and crumpled sheets in drawers in second bedroom

Character cottage - easy access
Dropped my earring under the bed- not be cleaned for years- so much dust underneath. Fridge wasn’t clean. Washing machine left on with washing in it. Stairs are very steep, wouldn’t advise for the elderly.

I loved the location. It was close to the track. Had enough shops and restaurants nearby to be satisfied.
It was a bit annoying for my older sons to keep ducking down everywhere.

I made a mistake of writing the wrong key safe number down…I was not able to contact the owner due to not having wifi connection or being able to contact number given.anyway the young guy who works in the local shop was so helpful in helping me retrieve the right keysafe number usin his wifi…my mistake totally
Everything was suitable for our stay.nothing to complain about.

It’s charm as a character property, it’s history, it’s location in the village and being close to Bungay.
The hidden stairs, the fireplace, a comfy sofa. Our cosy single beds.
Bird song in the garden.
Dog friendly.
Rob was easy to communicate with. Easy to check in. Plus basics such as bread, Milk, Loo Roll provided.
Furnishing weren’t in keeping with the cottage and it appeared rather neglected, including what could be a divine garden.
Our friends were unimpressed with the set up of the bedrooms and lack of privacy. Toilet/bathroom being downstairs.
Cupboards/drawers were full of DIY muddle.
Dead bugs inside the window frames.
Overpowering Air Freshener.
Grubby fridge.
No fire wood.
Needs ❤️ and a good spring clean!!!

Log fire - very cosy, especially for a short break in early December. Decorated for the Christmas season. Easy communication with the host. Great location - quiet, peaceful but close enough to main routes.
One of my dogs managed to get out under the gate. Some chicken wire would solve the problem. An information folder would really help including how to leave the property at the end of a stay e.g. used towels on the floor, strip beds and put bed linen in washing machine etc.
