Granary Cottage - February 2018
A recent stay in granary cottage was such a treat, quiet, relaxing cosy and warm, spotlessly clean. Over looking fields with horses and a 🦆 pond close by. A short drive into Bury St Edmunds for a shopping day. Will definitely be returning to this lovely retreat. Thank you Jo.
Stable Cottage - January 2018
We stayed in Stable Cottage for a birthday weekend treat and it was wonderful! We had heard how beautiful and homely the Upper Langdale'sCottages were but they exceeded our expectations. Such a nice location, the dogs loved the secure garden and the cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly need! Our friends stayed in Granary Cottage next door and it was perfect for them and their two young children who were suitably impressed by the play barn they discovered.
Stable Cottage - January 2018
My wife booked us in for the weekend for my birthday. Wow!!! What can I say. The Stable Cottage we stayed in was fantastic. Everything you could possibly want for a stay. Comfortable beds, free sat, a kitchen with all appliances. It was very peaceful and idyllic. Jo the owner couldn't do enough for us. I can definitely recommend

Granary Cottage - December 2017
Very sweet cottage, we had a wonderful few days wish we stayed longer. Beautiful location, cottage was so clean and homely, Johanne even left bread, cheese and Victoria sponge in the fridge which was a lovely and thoughtful touch. Will visit again in the summer for sure.
Harness Cottage - December 2017
We stayed at Harness Cottage over Christmas as it was close to my sister who was hosting the family. It’s a beautiful little place and exactly as it appears in the photos. Wonderfully clean and nicely appointed - the bed in particular was very comfortable indeed (it was a challenge to drag myself out of it on Boxing Day!). Additionally, the garden was well fenced which meant we could let our dogs out without them escaping. A couple of lovely touches arranged by the host - a real Christmas tree in the living room, a personal Christmas card and a delicious cake - made our stay even nicer. The location is rural, secluded and quiet with lovely views of the Suffolk countryside but within easy reach of Stowmarket by car. Thanks again for a lovely stay - hopefully we’ll be back for Christmas 2018.
Granary Cottage - December 2017

Stable Cottage - August 2017
This cottage is a hidden gem in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Although small, the cottage offered everything we wanted and was very well equipped. It has a lovely secluded garden overlooking the fields and is so quiet and tranquil. It was all the little touches that just made it feel extra special. Johanne was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. She made us some great recommendations of local pubs and walks and places to visit. We had an amazing time and would be more than happy to recommend this to family and friends. I would love to return again to see more of the surrounding villages It is a beautiful part of the world to visit. Thank you so much. The Wilson's
Stable Cottage - August 2017
Absolutely fantastic cottage and stay. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be back again. Johanne was just brilliant, very friendly, accommodating and helpful. The cottage is a great location for walks but easy drive to lots of places, we easily got to bury st Edmunds, jimmys farm and aldeburgh. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms are clean and spacious. We had a 10 year old and dog with us who loved the safe, enclosed garden and the log burner at night was great. BBQ there too for use. Kitchen is big enough to cater for you all, the Living room is comfortable and roomy and bathroom with gorgeous tub and great shower were a lovely touch. All in all it was a fantastic stay and we wish we had booked for longer.
Granary Cottage - September 2017

Granary Cottage - August 2017
A really lovely cottage that provided everything we needed. Great location in the countryside and just a short drive to other towns and places. Such a needed warm welcome with cake and farm shop produce waiting for us and even the radio was on for our arrival! We would definitely stay again and can't wait for our next visit!
Harness Cottage - August 2017
Thank you Johanne for welcoming Matthew and I, and Jasper (!) we all had a lovely time. The cottage was perfect for us and had everything we needed. You are surrounded by the countryside and proof is in the pudding..we saw our first hare! The games room kept us entertained too. Thanks again
Harness Cottage - June 2017
Johanne's cottages are lovely and very peaceful. They have everything you could require for a self catering break, including bread, milk, cheese and a lovely cake to get you started. Johanne is very friendly and helpful, and little May (the dog) was very sweet and played with our little dog very well! We booked the cottages for a "mini-moon" and they were perfect to get away from the world and have some rest and relaxation after the chaos of the wedding. There are lots of lovely walks from the cottage and it is well placed to explore the surrounding area. We had a great weekend and would definitely return in future.
Stable Cottage - May 2016
Amazing location, so peaceful, owner had thought of everything (loo roll, dishwasher tablets, etc). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to others looking for a peaceful stay. The private garden with incredible views was the highlight.
Harness Cottage - April 2016
Our stay at harness cottage was delightful and we didn't really want to leave. Upon arrival your feel spoilt with the wonderful little touches of milk, cake, cheese, bread. We were greeted with an Easter card and some dog treats for our little furry friend which was so thoughtful. Thank you for a lovely week. See you in the summer again for a weekend break.
Stable Cottage - March 2016
A fabulous cottage in a quiet setting, beside a delightful thatched farmhouse. There were ducklings on the pond and hares and deer in the fields. The kitchen was modern and very well equipped. Lovely bathroom with a great shower. Comfortable beds in pretty bedrooms. We look forward to visiting again.
Granary Cottage - March 2016
Absolutely gorgeous cottage in Suffolk. We arrived in the late evening and the cottage was warm and inviting. We thought it was beautifully decorated, very clean and we liked the welcome cake, bread, milk and cheese on arrival. We found the beds comfortable with plenty of towels and the kids had DVDs and games to keep them occupied. Upper Langdales is set in a secluded rural setting surrounded by stunning Suffolk countryside which was magical for myself and the kids to wake up to. The kids especially loved the horse and the ducklings who visited our front door one morning! This was our first time booking through Airbnb and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Jo!
Stable Cottage - March 2016
This was a gorgeous one bedroom cottage. I could not fault the cleanliness - and I have VERY high standards! We were delighted to find a delicious cake, some fresh bread and a pint of milk upon arrival, which was a lovely touch. The wi-fi was not working when we arrived, however, the owner contacted me straight away and resolved it within minutes, and there were no more problems with it from thereon in.
Harness Cottage - January 2016
We had a lovely time at the gorgeous Harness Cottage in beautiful Suffolk! The host Johanne made us feel very welcome with some goodies in the fridge on arrival. The cottage was beautifully appointed with every conceivable amenity - Johanne has clearly thought very carefully about what her guests need during their stay. The cottage was also a perfect base for us to use when exploring the Suffolk coastline and the lovely villages and towns nearby. Our little dog loved it too! Thanks for a marvellous holiday!
Granary Cottage - January 2016
We stayed in Granary cottage over new year and really enjoyed the stay. The property is finished to a high standard and owners are very welcoming and helpful. The location is remote so great for peaceful get away,.
Stable Cottage - January 2016
Had a wonderful, relaxing New Year stay at Stable Cottage with my family, Johanne and her family made us feel very welcome - just what the doctor ordered. The cottage was tastefully provisioned and had a lovely feel to it. Thank you Johanne !!
Harness Cottage - December 2015
Thank You Jo for a great couple of days. The cottage was exactly as expected and absolutely spotless. There were lovely welcome gifts and Jo was particularly accommodating in terms of arrival and departure time. The area is beautiful and the cottage was perfect situated. The facilities and furnishings were cosy, modern and I would definitely go back again. Thanks for a great few days
Granary Cottage - December 2015
Granary Cottage is a very comfortable, well equipped, cosy cottage in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. It was such a special place to spend Christmas! Johanne was extremely helpful, warm and welcoming, taking care of every detail, and even providing a cake, along with other basic provisions, on arrival. I thoroughly recommend a stay here!
Harness Cottage - November 2015
I had such grand time at the cottage especially when the sun came out and I could walk around the countryside. The bed was really comfortable and everything about the cottage really was 5*
Harness Cottage - November 2015
Another fantastic stay in the smaller 'Harness' Cottage. Cosy and warm and furnished to the same high standard as the larger cottage we had stayed in previously. Immaculately clean with everything you could possibly want. Great location with lots to do within an hour and a great pub just 5 minutes down the road.
Granary Cottage - October 2015
Beautiful cottage in a perfect setting. very high standard of fixtures & fittings & very friendly owners & staff. Loved it so much tried our luck on the lottery in the hope we would be able to buy it! Unfortunately didn't happen! We will be back.
Chaff Cottage - October 2015

Harness Cottage - October 2015
A great little cottage,ideally situated amongst the countryside of Suffolk. Equipped with all that one could need for a few nights away and located within a few minutes of the A14. Would definitely stay again.
Harness Cottage - September 2015
Lovely cottage,no cobwebs in sight very clean,great welcome treats,you don't always get.can't wait to go back.
Granary Cottage 2015 - September 2015
We have stayed here before and am delighted to report that the original very high standards set by Jo when she took over are being totally maintained. Bedding, fittings, decor are all of high quality and nothing seems to be too much trouble. It's in a central location between Bury St. Edmunds and Ipswich, Stowmarket is a typical Suffolk town and well worth a visit, especially if you include the East Anglian Museum - cafe is excellent too. You don't need to bring loads of supplies, Jo has a welcome pack of bread, cake, milk and cheese anyway.
Granary Cottage - September 2015
Such a beautiful cottage and surroundings. Also thank you Johanna for the lovely cake! I would recommend the Granary Cottage to both families and couples. The country walks and local villages are great. Hope to vist again soon
Stable Cottage - August 2015
We loved our stay. Johanne and her helpers were very welcoming and kind, even though we arrived too early. The cottage is charming: it's beautifully furnished, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. There's a small, secluded garden where you can eat outside (weather permitting!) with lovely views over the surrounding fields. I highly recommend Stable Cottage.
Harness Cottage - August 2015
Harness Cottage looks exactly like the photographs; a peaceful little retreat in the countryside but only a short drive from Ipswich. Johanna gave us some fabulous advice on local points of interest which included some hidden gems qe would have missed otherwise. Gorgeous cottage, we would certainly recommend it!
Stable Cottage - August 2015
Stable Cottage is located in the middle of nowhere which is PERFECT :-) The cottage has oodles of charm and is set next to rolling fields of hay (could it be any more chocolate box?) The Cottage offers a fully fitted kitchen with a dishwasher plus electric oven & hob, the bathroom has a fabulous ceiling mounted shower head and a rolled top bath. Both bedrooms have super comfy beds with crips white bedding, all of which are of a very high standard, plus lots of storage for holiday bags etc. Overall I would totally recommend Stable Cottage as a quiet get away destination.
Granary Cottage - August 2015
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It really was a home from home, full of creature comforts including comfy furniture, ample fluffy bedding, dvds and a very well-equipped kitchen. The milk, fresh coffee, cake and bread on arrival were very much appreciated. Nearby there is also a very good farm shop (actually two). We enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine on the garden seats under the stars, surrounded by silence while the children slept. Definitely a place worth returning to.
Chaff Cottage - August 2015
Johanne..., we had a perfect time in your lovely cottage, everything was absoluut perfect...., thanks
Stable Cottage - July 2015
Lovely quaint cottage. Lots of nice touches. Very comfortable. Good location to explore Suffolk. Jo is a wonderful host.
Harness Cottage - July 2015
Beautiful property in the suffolk countryside, surrounded by fields. The cottage is terraced along with 2 other cottages (as per listing), Harness being the one in the middle. You have your own little front garden but we didn't use this as dining benches etc are provided around the grounds so we made use of these for evening drinks etc. The decor and furnishings are very cosy, the kitchen contains all the cooking and dining kit you could need. Johanna provided lots of useful tips for days out, eating etc. We were permitted to bring our cat which we really appreciated. Thank you for a great stay!
Harness Cottage - June 2015

Granary Cottage - June 2015
We had a fantastic couple of days in this beautiful cottage. The setting was delightful and my toddler loved the freedom of being able to roam around open countryside. The cottage was extremely well equipped and the cake and bread were a lovely touch. I'd highly recommend this place.
Stable Cottage - May 2015
This is a delightful cottage with amazing views across the Suffolk countryside, very pretty interior, clean, comfortable and good wifi reception. Nothing is too much trouble for Jo the lovely owner.
Granary Cottage - May 2015
Clear information on location and arrival. Warm and welcoming with Roberts radio playing in the background. Lovely cottage, decorated and furnished to a high specification. Beautiful location - watched deer and hares in the meadow outside the kitchen window. Was on a working trip but looked forward to "going home" to Granary Cottage at the end of the day. Second visit here and plan to return on holiday and explore everything around this interesting part of the world.
Harness Cottage - May 2015
Probably the best equipped holiday property I have ever stayed in. The kitchen in particular had a great array of utensils etc. There was constant hot water, comfortable bed, beautiful peaceful surroundings. A warm welcome from a friendly owner, fresh flowers, and milk, cheese, bread and cake in the fridge. I will need to return to complete my list of places to go, and just to enjoy the garden, and paddock, and watching all the wildlife
Harness Cottage - May 2015
My experience was excellent. The place was very quiet and well equipped, exactly what was needed.
Chaff Cottage - April 2015
The cottage was beautiful it was wonderfully furnished and appointed and certainly deserves its 5 star rating. We would recommend this cottage unreservedly.
Harness Cottage - April 2015
We had a lovely couple of days at Harness cottage, the cottage is really comfortable and cosy and set in lovely susurroundings. I'd highly recommend a stay here to get some peace, relaxation and fresh air! Jo was also really helpful when we asked for suggestions of walking routes and she included lots of personal touches that made us feel very welcome.
Granary Cottage - April 2015
Fantastic quintessentially English cottage in a beautiful and tranquil setting, decorated beautifully. Taller people might struggle a little as the double bed has a foot board, but we had a great few days' break. The cottage is set in a lovely paddock, where I watched a wood pecker playing twenty feet away from me in the kitchen, and my young girls enjoyed the games room. Johanne is a great host!
Granary Cottage - March 2015
Ideal for squirrelling away in. Absolutely perfect cottage with such considerate and kind owners. It was beautiful and clean and I would come again in a heartbeat.
Harness Cottage - March 2015
We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It is a perfect hideout when you want some quiet time away, and incredibly cozy and comfortable. Joanne was kind enough to leave us some breakfast and a delicious cake, and take perfect care of us in communication, even late at night.
Granary Cottage - March 2015
Great place. Great host.

Stable Cottage - February 2015
PERFECT! Johanne is an extremely thoughtful host who obviously considers every detail to ensure maximum comfort for her guests. Everything in the cottage oozes quality, from the beddings to the towels and even the choice of quality food left for our arrival and bought from the local farm shop. The setting is gorgeous and the cottage is beautiful and spotlessly clean. When we arrived, the soft lights were on, the rooms were warm and cosy and music was gently coming out of the pretty Roberts radio to make us feel at home. Johanne was extremely discreet but just as helpful when we needed her. The children loved the playroom in the barn next to the cottage and the cottage and its surroundings were a great place to come with our dog. The bathroom and shower were great and the beds really comfortable. I could go on and on but suffices to say that every single aspect of our time at Stable Cottage was perfect and we had a fun and relaxing time. Thank you Johanne!
Granary Cottage - February 2015
The cottage is immaculately clean and furnished to a high standard with all the utensils you could need in the kitchen. The views are stunning as the cottage is very remote but the farm shop is 5 minutes down the lane and there are lots of local attractions a short drive away. The bed was comfy and towels smelt fresh and were a good quality. We felt instantly at home and relaxed and it was so lovely and quiet. We would have no hesitation in booking again and recommending to others.
Harness Cottage - February 2015
This was a very nicely furnished and equipped small cottage - extremely clean and tidy - with beautiful flowers waiting for em on arrival plus some extras in the fridge (which I couldn't eat as had gluten but for those who can would be very nice). Johanne was professional and very helpful. I would highly recommend this as a good escape.

Enjoyed a fabulous week at Chaff cottage. Perfect in every detail. Delicious cake waiting for us on arrival. Pretty garden to enjoy eating outside with lovely lanterns in the trees ..like a real life fairy tale! Great place to get away from it all...a haven of peace and tranquility in the middle of the Suffolfk countryside with every modern convenience provided to ensure a super comfortable and relaxed stay.

Reviewed 3 October 2013 for a stay in September 2013
We wanted to have our first holiday away with our puppy and didn't want to travel too far. We found the cottage online and booked it but really didn't know what to expect. When we arrived we were not disappointed. The cottage is fitted out to a high standard with a well equipped kitchen, living room area with blu ray player, a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The location is quiet and secluded with plenty of footpaths close by to walk the dog. Equally it is well situated to explore inland Suffolk and the coastal areas. Thanks Johanne for a wonderful stay and the Victoria Sponge in the welcome pack was fantastic!

“Excellent location, great place” Harness Cottage
Reviewed 23 August 2013 for a stay in August 2013
Harness Cottage is in an excellent location for touring Suffolk. There are plenty of places to see in the local area. The owner who lives in the main farmhouse is extremely welcoming and thoughtful. The cottage which sleeps two people has been tastefully furnished and in good weather you can enjoy a glass of wine outside looking out for the deer and hares. Though this cottage only sleeps two people I believe that two of the other three cottages sleep up to four. We had a look round one and it was equally well furnished. Once you've been, you will want to return.

This was our second stay in Harness Cottage. We really like it here.
It is beautifully furnished and to a high standard, making it comfortable and very relaxing.
The welcome goodies are a bonus and very tasty (milk, cheese, cake and bread) all from the local farm shop, not to mention the tea, coffee, sugar salt and pepper in the kitchen.
If you are looking for some peace and quiet and slow pace - stay here, you will not be disappointed
"Thank you so much for your warm welcome and your very kind and thoughtful way of welcoming your guests! We have loved staying in this beautifully put together and well kept cottage. The children have loved greeting the horses and chickens everyday and exploring the fields and games. Thomas who is 5 says it is the best place he has ever stayed! We have loved exploring beautiful suffolk and we are sure to be back!"

Absolutely gorgeous cottage in Suffolk. We arrived in the late evening and the cottage was warm and inviting. We thought it was beautifully decorated, very clean and we liked the welcome cake, bread, milk and cheese on arrival. We found the beds comfortable with plenty of towels and the kids had DVDs and games to keep them occupied. Upper Langdales is set in a secluded rural setting surrounded by stunning Suffolk countryside which was magical for myself and the kids to wake up to. The kids especially loved the horse and the ducklings who visited our front door one morning! This was our first time booking through Airbnb and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Jo!
Stable Cottage - March 2016
This was a gorgeous one bedroom cottage. I could not fault the cleanliness - and I have VERY high standards! We were delighted to find a delicious cake, some fresh bread and a pint of milk upon arrival, which was a lovely touch. The wi-fi was not working when we arrived, however, the owner contacted me straight away and resolved it within minutes, and there were no more problems with it from thereon in.
Harness Cottage - January 2016
We had a lovely time at the gorgeous Harness Cottage in beautiful Suffolk! The host Johanne made us feel very welcome with some goodies in the fridge on arrival. The cottage was beautifully appointed with every conceivable amenity - Johanne has clearly thought very carefully about what her guests need during their stay. The cottage was also a perfect base for us to use when exploring the Suffolk coastline and the lovely villages and towns nearby. Our little dog loved it too! Thanks for a marvellous holiday!
Granary Cottage - January 2016
We stayed in Granary cottage over new year and really enjoyed the stay. The property is finished to a high standard and owners are very welcoming and helpful. The location is remote so great for peaceful get away,.
Stable Cottage - January 2016
Had a wonderful, relaxing New Year stay at Stable Cottage with my family, Johanne and her family made us feel very welcome - just what the doctor ordered. The cottage was tastefully provisioned and had a lovely feel to it. Thank you Johanne !!
Harness Cottage - December 2015
Thank You Jo for a great couple of days. The cottage was exactly as expected and absolutely spotless. There were lovely welcome gifts and Jo was particularly accommodating in terms of arrival and departure time. The area is beautiful and the cottage was perfect situated. The facilities and furnishings were cosy, modern and I would definitely go back again. Thanks for a great few days
Granary Cottage - December 2015
Granary Cottage is a very comfortable, well equipped, cosy cottage in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. It was such a special place to spend Christmas! Johanne was extremely helpful, warm and welcoming, taking care of every detail, and even providing a cake, along with other basic provisions, on arrival. I thoroughly recommend a stay here!
Harness Cottage - November 2015
I had such grand time at the cottage especially when the sun came out and I could walk around the countryside. The bed was really comfortable and everything about the cottage really was 5*
Harness Cottage - November 2015
Another fantastic stay in the smaller 'Harness' Cottage. Cosy and warm and furnished to the same high standard as the larger cottage we had stayed in previously. Immaculately clean with everything you could possibly want. Great location with lots to do within an hour and a great pub just 5 minutes down the road.
Granary Cottage - October 2015
Beautiful cottage in a perfect setting. very high standard of fixtures & fittings & very friendly owners & staff. Loved it so much tried our luck on the lottery in the hope we would be able to buy it! Unfortunately didn't happen! We will be back.
Chaff Cottage - October 2015

Harness Cottage - October 2015
A great little cottage,ideally situated amongst the countryside of Suffolk. Equipped with all that one could need for a few nights away and located within a few minutes of the A14. Would definitely stay again.
Harness Cottage - September 2015
Lovely cottage,no cobwebs in sight very clean,great welcome treats,you don't always get.can't wait to go back.
Granary Cottage 2015 - September 2015
We have stayed here before and am delighted to report that the original very high standards set by Jo when she took over are being totally maintained. Bedding, fittings, decor are all of high quality and nothing seems to be too much trouble. It's in a central location between Bury St. Edmunds and Ipswich, Stowmarket is a typical Suffolk town and well worth a visit, especially if you include the East Anglian Museum - cafe is excellent too. You don't need to bring loads of supplies, Jo has a welcome pack of bread, cake, milk and cheese anyway.
Granary Cottage - September 2015
Such a beautiful cottage and surroundings. Also thank you Johanna for the lovely cake! I would recommend the Granary Cottage to both families and couples. The country walks and local villages are great. Hope to vist again soon
Stable Cottage - August 2015
We loved our stay. Johanne and her helpers were very welcoming and kind, even though we arrived too early. The cottage is charming: it's beautifully furnished, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. There's a small, secluded garden where you can eat outside (weather permitting!) with lovely views over the surrounding fields. I highly recommend Stable Cottage.
Harness Cottage - August 2015
Harness Cottage looks exactly like the photographs; a peaceful little retreat in the countryside but only a short drive from Ipswich. Johanna gave us some fabulous advice on local points of interest which included some hidden gems qe would have missed otherwise. Gorgeous cottage, we would certainly recommend it!
Stable Cottage - August 2015
Stable Cottage is located in the middle of nowhere which is PERFECT :-) The cottage has oodles of charm and is set next to rolling fields of hay (could it be any more chocolate box?) The Cottage offers a fully fitted kitchen with a dishwasher plus electric oven & hob, the bathroom has a fabulous ceiling mounted shower head and a rolled top bath. Both bedrooms have super comfy beds with crips white bedding, all of which are of a very high standard, plus lots of storage for holiday bags etc. Overall I would totally recommend Stable Cottage as a quiet get away destination.
Granary Cottage - August 2015
We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It really was a home from home, full of creature comforts including comfy furniture, ample fluffy bedding, dvds and a very well-equipped kitchen. The milk, fresh coffee, cake and bread on arrival were very much appreciated. Nearby there is also a very good farm shop (actually two). We enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine on the garden seats under the stars, surrounded by silence while the children slept. Definitely a place worth returning to.
Chaff Cottage - August 2015
Johanne..., we had a perfect time in your lovely cottage, everything was absoluut perfect...., thanks
Stable Cottage - July 2015
Lovely quaint cottage. Lots of nice touches. Very comfortable. Good location to explore Suffolk. Jo is a wonderful host.
Harness Cottage - July 2015
Beautiful property in the suffolk countryside, surrounded by fields. The cottage is terraced along with 2 other cottages (as per listing), Harness being the one in the middle. You have your own little front garden but we didn't use this as dining benches etc are provided around the grounds so we made use of these for evening drinks etc. The decor and furnishings are very cosy, the kitchen contains all the cooking and dining kit you could need. Johanna provided lots of useful tips for days out, eating etc. We were permitted to bring our cat which we really appreciated. Thank you for a great stay!
Harness Cottage - June 2015

Granary Cottage - June 2015
We had a fantastic couple of days in this beautiful cottage. The setting was delightful and my toddler loved the freedom of being able to roam around open countryside. The cottage was extremely well equipped and the cake and bread were a lovely touch. I'd highly recommend this place.
Stable Cottage - May 2015
This is a delightful cottage with amazing views across the Suffolk countryside, very pretty interior, clean, comfortable and good wifi reception. Nothing is too much trouble for Jo the lovely owner.
Granary Cottage - May 2015
Clear information on location and arrival. Warm and welcoming with Roberts radio playing in the background. Lovely cottage, decorated and furnished to a high specification. Beautiful location - watched deer and hares in the meadow outside the kitchen window. Was on a working trip but looked forward to "going home" to Granary Cottage at the end of the day. Second visit here and plan to return on holiday and explore everything around this interesting part of the world.
Harness Cottage - May 2015
Probably the best equipped holiday property I have ever stayed in. The kitchen in particular had a great array of utensils etc. There was constant hot water, comfortable bed, beautiful peaceful surroundings. A warm welcome from a friendly owner, fresh flowers, and milk, cheese, bread and cake in the fridge. I will need to return to complete my list of places to go, and just to enjoy the garden, and paddock, and watching all the wildlife
Harness Cottage - May 2015
My experience was excellent. The place was very quiet and well equipped, exactly what was needed.
Chaff Cottage - April 2015
The cottage was beautiful it was wonderfully furnished and appointed and certainly deserves its 5 star rating. We would recommend this cottage unreservedly.
Harness Cottage - April 2015
We had a lovely couple of days at Harness cottage, the cottage is really comfortable and cosy and set in lovely susurroundings. I'd highly recommend a stay here to get some peace, relaxation and fresh air! Jo was also really helpful when we asked for suggestions of walking routes and she included lots of personal touches that made us feel very welcome.
Granary Cottage - April 2015
Fantastic quintessentially English cottage in a beautiful and tranquil setting, decorated beautifully. Taller people might struggle a little as the double bed has a foot board, but we had a great few days' break. The cottage is set in a lovely paddock, where I watched a wood pecker playing twenty feet away from me in the kitchen, and my young girls enjoyed the games room. Johanne is a great host!
Granary Cottage - March 2015
Ideal for squirrelling away in. Absolutely perfect cottage with such considerate and kind owners. It was beautiful and clean and I would come again in a heartbeat.
Harness Cottage - March 2015
We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It is a perfect hideout when you want some quiet time away, and incredibly cozy and comfortable. Joanne was kind enough to leave us some breakfast and a delicious cake, and take perfect care of us in communication, even late at night.
Granary Cottage - March 2015
Great place. Great host.

Stable Cottage - February 2015
PERFECT! Johanne is an extremely thoughtful host who obviously considers every detail to ensure maximum comfort for her guests. Everything in the cottage oozes quality, from the beddings to the towels and even the choice of quality food left for our arrival and bought from the local farm shop. The setting is gorgeous and the cottage is beautiful and spotlessly clean. When we arrived, the soft lights were on, the rooms were warm and cosy and music was gently coming out of the pretty Roberts radio to make us feel at home. Johanne was extremely discreet but just as helpful when we needed her. The children loved the playroom in the barn next to the cottage and the cottage and its surroundings were a great place to come with our dog. The bathroom and shower were great and the beds really comfortable. I could go on and on but suffices to say that every single aspect of our time at Stable Cottage was perfect and we had a fun and relaxing time. Thank you Johanne!
Granary Cottage - February 2015
The cottage is immaculately clean and furnished to a high standard with all the utensils you could need in the kitchen. The views are stunning as the cottage is very remote but the farm shop is 5 minutes down the lane and there are lots of local attractions a short drive away. The bed was comfy and towels smelt fresh and were a good quality. We felt instantly at home and relaxed and it was so lovely and quiet. We would have no hesitation in booking again and recommending to others.
Harness Cottage - February 2015
This was a very nicely furnished and equipped small cottage - extremely clean and tidy - with beautiful flowers waiting for em on arrival plus some extras in the fridge (which I couldn't eat as had gluten but for those who can would be very nice). Johanne was professional and very helpful. I would highly recommend this as a good escape.

We wanted to have our first holiday away with our puppy and didn't want to travel too far. We found the cottage online and booked it but really didn't know what to expect. When we arrived we were not disappointed. The cottage is fitted out to a high standard with a well equipped kitchen, living room area with blu ray player, a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. The location is quiet and secluded with plenty of footpaths close by to walk the dog. Equally it is well situated to explore inland Suffolk and the coastal areas. Thanks Johanne for a wonderful stay and the Victoria Sponge in the welcome pack was fantastic!

“Excellent location, great place” Harness Cottage
Reviewed 23 August 2013 for a stay in August 2013
Harness Cottage is in an excellent location for touring Suffolk. There are plenty of places to see in the local area. The owner who lives in the main farmhouse is extremely welcoming and thoughtful. The cottage which sleeps two people has been tastefully furnished and in good weather you can enjoy a glass of wine outside looking out for the deer and hares. Though this cottage only sleeps two people I believe that two of the other three cottages sleep up to four. We had a look round one and it was equally well furnished. Once you've been, you will want to return.

This was our second stay in Harness Cottage. We really like it here.
It is beautifully furnished and to a high standard, making it comfortable and very relaxing.
The welcome goodies are a bonus and very tasty (milk, cheese, cake and bread) all from the local farm shop, not to mention the tea, coffee, sugar salt and pepper in the kitchen.
If you are looking for some peace and quiet and slow pace - stay here, you will not be disappointed
"Thank you so much for your warm welcome and your very kind and thoughtful way of welcoming your guests! We have loved staying in this beautifully put together and well kept cottage. The children have loved greeting the horses and chickens everyday and exploring the fields and games. Thomas who is 5 says it is the best place he has ever stayed! We have loved exploring beautiful suffolk and we are sure to be back!"
"We had a really comfortable stay in your lovely cottage and we will be back. My brother and his wife who live at Pettaugh, will be recommending you to their visiting friends. Thank you so much for the welcome pack."

Excellent welcome, good location for tranqil peace and quiet, town minutes away by car will all you need from blockbuster to supermarkets etc, beautifully decorated, just a lovely beautiful place with hares and red deer in the field next door and my dogs have really enjoyed too, delivery indian available which was a bonus being so secluded
We loved this place! For 2 adults and one 2.5yr old this was the perfect bolt hole. The cottage itself had everything you'd need all on one level. Immaculate presentation and lovely food hamper on arrival. Idyllic views with plenty of green space to play in. My son loved the tractor/go cart and I'd be lying if I didn't say so did I! There were 2 horses in a neighbouring field that he had to visit daily and from here the whole of east Anglia is a short drive away. Highly recomended.
"We have all enjoyed our long weekend here in your beautiful and perfect cottage, what a warm welcome and most comfortable stay. We have had some great days out. You have been most thoughtful and thanks again for everything. We would love to come back!"

"Delightful well-appointed cottage the owner is very friendly and accommodating with the welcome pack being a lovely touch especially the cake and fresh flowers!. lots to see and do in the area with Lavesham being the Jewel in Suffolk's crown.

"What a brilliant base for seeing Suffolk, so much to see and do, we will have to return to do everything. Some of our highlights are: Anglesey Priory on the way here, the beautiful Suffolk heritage coast of Orford, Southwold, Dunwich and Aldeburgh.
The great Manna at Ipswich as well as the Christchurch Manor and Wolsey art Gallery. Lavenham village is beautiful and the guildhall is well worth a look. Ickworth House just outside of Bury St Edmunds was a fantastic visit, interesting exhibitions and lovely gardens. Colchester has some nice boutique shops and Sudbury is lovely where we visited the house of Gainsborough.
