Everything about the experience was wonderful — the location, the property, and our superb hosts. Pauline and Norman made our trip extra special with their kindness, warmth, and the lovely moments we shared over a glass (or two!). We’ll definitely be returning. If you’re looking for peace, tranquility, and cozy evenings by the fire, we can’t recommend this place highly enough.

What a wonderful place to stay with very lovely and accommodating hosts. We spent a long weekend here with young children where could go swimming whenever we wanted and the owners let my children bottle feed the lambs. A perfect stay in the countryside with many placed to visit locally. Highly recommend

Just what we needed after Christmas. Pauline and Norman are very friendly. The pool was a great bonus as others have said. Location is lovely and so quiet. Lots of fantastic dog walks, hikes, bike rides and country pubs. The house was very cosey and we loved the fire. Would stay again!

There is nothing to fault with this property. From Pauline’s warm welcome with fresh eggs and milk in the fridge, beautiful interior, wonderful wood burner and cosy feel we’ve had the best pre-Christmas break. The cottage is extremely spacious and perfectly decorated. The kitchen has everything you could need. The indoor pool is fabulous and there are even pool towels ready. We will definitely come again. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

Friendly sociable hosts who provided comprehensive directions to the property, and a very good introduction to the property and its surrounding gardens and nearby private swimming pool. Authentic old property with modern fittings, large rooms although the ensuite facilities were a little compact to fit in the space between beams etc. The swimming pool was modern and available any reasonable time. The shower facilities next to the pool were excellent. Plenty of nature in the grounds, flowers, fruit trees etc and sheep, chickens to be fed, and lots of cats and kittens. Altogether a fabulous experience for the 10 nights, it was great to wake up to countryside views every morning. Thank you Pauline and Norman

Thanks to owners Paulina and Norman for making this a perfect trip away. The property was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Stairs are steep as is usual in a period property. Beautiful ensuite bedrooms on two floors, top floor - mind the beam! Woodburner and comfortable lounge furniture with large dining table , kitchen with stunning views over the garden, and very useful lobby and downstairs convenience. The swimming pool was sheer delight!. My dog enjoyed the stroll via the quiet lanes to the Cretingham Bell where we all enjoyed out tasty meals. I hope we can return soon.

Such an amazing little place for a get away and relaxation, dont let the photos decive you as this place is more beautiful than photos show. The owners Pauline and Norman are such lovley freindly people and will help in anyway possible. Both of our children loved this place and wanted to stay longer. I think the only not bad but not good thing was eventhough it says heated pool it is a bit on the cold side even after being in it a while so could do with going up a couple of degrees. I know there not meant to be baths but warmer would be better :) the surrounding of the pool is nice and warm and your able to take you own pool toys/ floaties and have access when ever you like. Theres a small tv in the sitting room but we never used it as you have a beautiful view when the log fire is lit or just relax in the garden with the wildlife around you. Thanks for such a wonderful time at your cottage we will definitely be back.

Beautiful period property with stunning views of the countryside. We enjoyed a very relaxing week here, in the comfort of spacious, well decorated rooms and we made the most of the wood burner on cooler evenings. Our teenage boys loved the private pool and we all enjoyed the garden and nearby meadow, where our puppy was able to run freely. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay, and cleaned to the highest standard. Set in a beautiful location, this peaceful property is a great base from which to explore the English countryside.

First of all, the first impression was Pauline herself who was very welcoming & showed us around the cotttage & how things worked. The Yew tree cottage is a very lovely cottage with it's own swimming pool, garden area, pond with fishes, cats running around, a swing, it's barn area, some sheep & chickens and obviously the nice owners. My kids 8 & 4 year old thoroughly loved their time whilst there especially swimming in the pool and when Pauline showed us around the lamb & the chickens. The inside of the cottage has it's original features but brilliantly modernised where you won't miss the comfort of a modern home. Overall, the owners are very nice people and caring. The cottage is superb. We had a splendid family time. I would recommend this cottage to anyone without any hesitation.

Had a great time at this property for a long weekend. Plenty to do around and about. Lovely house and very hospitable owners. Pool was a real bonus. As was the use of the surrounding fields to walk our dog. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

It looks like a place you see in the movies, gave me instant hansel and gretel vibes. However its kitted with all the essentials including brilliant WiFi. We practically lived in the pool. It was lovely, Pauline and Norman are an amazing couple. Their warmth is felt from the moment you arrive. They love their home and have ensured you have everything you might need during your stay. We loved the cosy vibes of the beautiful original house, the rooms were lovely. The pool was the highlight as the kids just didn't want to get out. The showers in the pool were so handy and powerful. We didn't get to try out the house showers! Loved having a cuppa with Pauline and Norman and discovering more about them and the house. We stayed 3 nights and hope to return in the summer for 7.

We booked to stay at Yew Tree cottage as it came with use of the owners indoor pool and communicating with Pauline was very simple. She was quick to answer questions, we managed to have difficulty paying but sorted that out with VRBO (in Texas in the end!). We arrived late as already agreed and there had been some local flooding, Pauline messaged us to outline where the floods were, it couldn't have been easier! We arrived and Pauline came round and showed us where everything was and how to manage the pool etc. On the Sunday morning we were shown how to feed the chickens (which we did in the week) and we must say the cottage is lovely. The cottage is attached to their farmhouse with a locked adjoining door, it is a beautiful timber framed building with uneven floors and beautiful features. There was a wood burning stove for use in the living room and a fully equipped kitchen. There was nothing we needed whilst we were there. I can thoroughly recommend Pauline and Norman's cottage, they are immensely nice people and very accommodating, the area is quiet and remote with a pub in the village about a mile away. There are some other lovely villages close by as well! We had a thoroughly relaxing week in a lovely setting (with lots of swimming!). An amazing break from the rat race!

We had the most wonderful holiday staying at Yew Tree Cottage in Cretingham. The cottage is spacious and full of character and has everything you may need for a relaxing holiday. We enjoyed days out at Bawdsey, Bressingham and Thorpeness where we took out a rowing boat around the huge lake. There is also mini golf there at the golf hotel just up the road. We enjoyed going to The Bell Inn in the evenings (20 min walk) which is an excellent friendly pub with a good and varied menu. Pauline and Norman are excellent hosts and we very much enjoyed meeting them. The swimming pool is first class and a wonderful treat. So refreshing after a days sightseeing. We very much enjoyed our holiday here in Suffolk and hope to return again one day.

Beautiful accommodation with full of character, and a gorgeous garden and a swimming pool. Pictures do not do justice. Within easy driving distance - 20 to 40 minutes - to many interesting places. We visited Framlingham, Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge, Orford Ness, Thorpeness boating lake, Sutton Punch Trust and enjoyed a couple of local walks. Last, but not least, Pauline and Norman are wonderful hosts. Thank you very much for opening up the Yew Tree Cottage for us to enjoy.

Yew Tree Cottage is a great place to stay. We were only there for 3 nights and would have loved to stay longer. The hosts were very friendly and the cottage was very well equipped and had loads of character. We enjoyed feeding the sheep and chickens and playing with the kittens! The beautiful swimming pool was a real bonus and we enjoyed our late afternoon swims. We had a lovely garden area and we explored other parts of the grounds. The location is very peaceful with a good pub just a mile up the road and easy access to places of interest in the area. Hopefully we will return!

What a stunning property. Set in idylic gardens surrounded by sheep grazing you couldn't ask for more. The hosts Pauline & Norman were such friendly people and would go out of their way to please. The swimming pool and facilities were just as imaculate as the property. Friendly pub in walking distance which does lovely food too. Really could not have asked for more. The added homely touches makes it simply perfect.
