The location, the decor, it is as very cosy and the beds were very comfortable. Not problems with road noise considering it’s on a main road
The only thing i would say is that the back patio area was too dark, there’s not a light outside

A beautiful cottage! It’s easy to locate and there’s parking nearby.
It’s very spacious, and surprisingly warm considering the age of the property.
I loved the exposed beams. The bed was so comfortable and big.
I adored the roll top bath- I’m a sucker for a nice bath.
The pictures on the walls were really nice as well, it created a more homely effect.
It’s such a lovely house to stay in and I’m really glad I booked it for my visit.
The Abbey gardens were right behind the cottage near enough, which was great because I wanted to walk around them.

Graeme's property is next to the Abbey ruins and gardens and very close to the centre of town. There a number of good restaurants a few minutes walk away. The property is very well equipped, comfortable and very clean. Graeme was great at communicating and made our stay very easy. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

A conveniently located cottage backing onto the Abbey Gardens and a five minute walk to the centre of Bury St Edmunds. The courtyard garden is a real sun trap, but there was always a shady spot as well. Well equipped kitchen and lovely to have a delicious bottle of local apple juice on arrival. Two good-sized, very comfortable double bedrooms and two decent sized bathrooms. Easy to operate, powerful showers. It was a lovely place to stay, and we will definitely book again when visiting the area. Host was great at keeping in touch. I have stayed in many hotels and self-catering properties, but I have never given a 10 in the UK before. A lovely place to stay.
Nothing, it was all good.

Great location, comfy beds, great shower - really hot and powerful. Good quality fittings, crockery, and cooking items.
The owner was very helpful and allowed us access to the cottage before 3.00 pm. Double glazed, so traffic noise was not a problem.
It was very difficult to pull pull up outside the cottage to drop off luggage as it's a very busy road.
Could have been cleaner. The main areas were clean, but areas like skirting boards, recycling bin lids, outdoor furniture, etc. could have been cleaner.

The property was well located and very well presented throughout. The hosts were on point whenever needed and nothing was a problem. Graeme is very guest focussed, therefore I can’t fault the customer service or the facilities, and some nice touches with items left to settle in.
Well kitted out in kitchen, was like a home from home
Being on a main road can be a little noisy in the morning, but nothing dramatic.

The location was perfect. Comfy, warm & exceptionally well equipped. Especially enjoyed the pre set morning heating.

Fantastic little cottage. Truly home from home with everything you might need. Great location, 5 mins easy walk into town. Easy key access. Would definitely stay again.
Minor, but not keen on pillows and top bedroom was very hot so maybe a fan would be helpful (it was hottest 1st May in record though)
Parking is 200m away.

Beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and so close to the town centre, a wonderful place to stay.
Maybe a curtain for the double doors in the living area as we felt the chill coming through on the winter evenings, but the fire was very welcome and kept us old(er) ladies warm 😀

Great location and a very comfortable stay at the Abbey Gardens Cottage. Our host was very responsive to our questions and queries. We are looking forward to visiting again next time we are in Bury St. Edmunds. Highly recommended.
That we couldn’t stay longer!

The cottage was so beautiful and cosy! So much light and the decor is gorgeous! Everything was to a high standard, loved the bathrooms and the outside area. It's so close to the centre and the Abbey Gardens! Graeme was lovely, especially when I had an issue with some post that a friend posted the day before our stay. He made sure that it was there safe and sound for when we arrived. The place was very clean, and comfy beds. Highly recommend this lovely cottage & host. Thank you xx

Cottage was perfect, it had everything we could have wanted during our stay. It was clean, tidy and comfortable and we really enjoyed our visit. Graeme was also an excellent host and so helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely stay again if we visit the area!
Being on the main road, the upstairs room was a little noisy with the window open but this really didn’t bother us much.

So roomy. Tastefully decorated. Wonderful bathroom facilities. Clean. Excellent location.
Shame there was no handsoap in the bathrooms. The cottage smelt very strongly of air freshener sticks. This really isn’t necessary and was rather unpleasant.

The cottage was lovely and cosy but felt very spacious over 3 floors.
The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were to a high quality.
The cottage is in a very central location to the town, as well as Abbey Gardens which is lovely to have a stroll around.
The welcome pack of muffins, juice, tea and coffee was a nice touch.
Would definitely recommend and return in the future.
Nothing about the property as its is near on perfect but it is is located on a main road so can be noisy due to traffic outside (I'm a light sleeper so wearing ear plugs would have stopped this!)

This was the perfect, cosy, comfortable retreat. It is beautifully designed and so spacious. The bathroom was an extra luxury and what with being able to enjoy a deep, hot bath and a powerful cold shower in the same room, it was an excellent alternative to the spa hotel we had considered to stay at! 😊
It was lovely to be able to enjoy the little backyard with its comfortable garden furniture.
Great coffee making facilities.
The owner was very friendly and responded very quickly in all communications and he kindly agreed to us extending our stay and to a late check out.
The location couldn’t be better what with Abbey Gardens and the lovely river walk minutes from the front door.
There was an over powering, artificial smell of an air freshener in the house. We found the source and had to put the scented sticks in the back yard. The house is very clean and these were unnecessary and rather oppressive extras.
Also, there was no hand soap in either of the bathrooms which was very inconvenient. This is a highly priced property and the least you expect is to be able to wash your hands on arrival.
Be aware that the property is on a main road so you can hear the sound of traffic from
inside.
The provision of crockery is very minimal.

What a superb find, the cottage is in a perfect location, close to restaurants and cafes right in the centre of town. As we had sunny weather we really enjoyed sitting in the courtyard garden and going into Abbey Gardens which is right behind the cottage. We loved the decor of the cottage which has been done to a high spec, really comfy beds and the en suite bathroom an added luxury. We were left a lovely welcome basket with tea, coffee for the coffee machine, biscuits and local apple juice which was a lovely touch. Look forward to returning next time we are in Bury.
