Constable lodge is well set up and there was no superficial dirt, although some of the floors (bathroom particularly) are in need of a deep clean. The main drawback is that the parking is non-existent and the roadside parking mentioned in the instructions was all occupied so it is some distance to any safe and available parking. This could be made clearer before booking. We only cooked one meal but did find that many of the kitchen pots/utensils had obviously been put away after a quick go through the dishwasher and not checked. The pan was greasy and there were strands of vegetable in the grater, we had to rewash serving spoons too. Finally a bit weird that you can't change the thermostat or boost the hot water - the heating came on randomly one evening and we had to shut down all the radiators!

Very nice clean cottage but road was very busy and car parking was not easy. Also no village shop so had to travel a distance for buying food. We did enjoy our stay there but wish there had been more to do in the village..A welcome bottle of wine would have been nice as we have had this for shorter stays.

Great position in outskirts of friendly village of Nayland. Lovely walks and pubs (one walking distance - all documented in beautifully informative and extensive folder). The Mill St Deli was awesome - sourdough a must, sausage rolls are divine and basic groceries incl toothbrushes are reasonably priced. Everything in the house and garden worked brilliantly. I especially liked the automatic lights in bathroom and plug in auto nightlight in hall. Garden perfect for when my dog needed to have a nighttime tiddle. The log burner was the highlight for me. Hearing owls, flocks of geese flying over and deer barking. The owner I briefly met and he shared the thoughtful refurb journey. It really has been finished to a high standard. The kitchen compact but gorgeous. Not room for more than two people. Charlie from idyllic cottages was efficient and prompt to get back to me. He was spot on with everything admin related. Only one thing which isn’t really a complaint - I did not have notice the window cleaner was coming but it didn’t matter as he was lovely too!! Can’t complain about clean windows!! Perfect for a short break in a beautiful village.

Lovely property within walking distance of local amenities and nearby attractions. The cottage was exactly as described and felt very homely. Nayland itself was a great place to stay with plenty of good walks in the vicinity. Charlie from Idyllic was most helpful when I was making our booking.

We had an excellent week in Constable Lodge. We have stayed a couple of times before and it felt like coming home - particularly helpful as sadly we had come down for a funeral. Comfortable seating in lounge, and comfy beds. Small but very well equipped kitchen with a large fridge freezer. Good shower as well as a bath. Great little garden area at the back for sitting/eating out when the weather allows (we were lucky). Overall, a really sympathetically and tastefully restored cottage in a lovely village.
8.0 / 10.0
Although the cottage itself is very pleasant I was disappointed at its location on a fairly busy road and with no off road parking. It wasn’t very relaxing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Constable Cottage. It was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. It had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay. My partner loved it and was very happy with my choice for a long weekend break. The weather wasn't great when we was there but that didn't stop us from enjoying our time there.
