We have enjoyed our stay in your comfortable and well restored cottage. Thank you also for the welcome basket - a welcome touch. Shirley & Ken, May 2007

Thank you. A clean and comfortable base to explore this lovely county from. Alan and Lynne, April 2007

Lovely cottage, very clean & tidy. Llovely place to cycle around; very peaceful. Loved the staircases. Garden perfect to put the bikes in. Thanx. April 2007

Imaginative use of limited space. Very impressive decor and fittings. A fine place in a lovely market town. Check out station hotel for great beer & food. J & R, March 2007

Thank you for the opportunity to stay in this wonderful little cottage. We've had a great time, especially having our grand-daughter staying who was doing her exams at the college. We appreciated everything being supplied and it was a nice quiet place to relax in the evenings after hectic days of sightseeing & shopping. Vic & Angela, March 2007

Lovely warm and cosy cottage. very well equipped, everything we needed. We loved the village and castle. What a lovely county Suffolk is, even in Winter. We really enjoyed our week. Thank you so much. Judith, Heather & Holly, Feb 2007

We enjoyed a lovely overnight, took a leisurely stroll to the castle - nice quiet area. Feb 2007

Perfect Cottage in perfect location. Had a most relaxing Winter break. Many thanks. Paul & Mieke, January 2007

Fantastic week. Cottage superb, everything that is needed is here. Have left cards for pubs & restuarants we have visited are all good. All the local people have been extremely helpful & polite. Nancy, Ray, Annie & Richard. January 2007

2006:

We received a friendly welcome and short but informative tour. The cottage is very well equipped, clean and imaginatively furnished. Especially good things; comfortable beds, comprehensive tourist information and maps, local produce in welcome basket. Mick, Alison & Stuart, Warwick.

Lovely Cottage, well appointed. Parking is a tad tight (ford galaxy). Framlingham has plenty of facilities and the coast is fantastic. The locals in our experience were very friendly. Amanda, Mike Kathlyn & Patrick, Basingstoke

My stay here was fantastic; I really enjoyed it & had a great time. The cottage is superb, very well equipped with everything we need. We had a brilliant time at the coast. Nothing bad to say about it apart from the parking was a bit tight but it wasn't much of a problem. Framlingham was great & hope to return one day. THANKS. Loved the welcome pack and leaflets on tourism attractions and children loved sky TV. Derek, Sue, Lauren & Alex, Leeds

We had a lovely stay in Suffolk and couldn't have wished for better weather. We were very impressed with your cottage, the photos we saw didn't do it justice. There are some very thoughtful little touches, thank you for the welcome basket, the fridge/freezer is a good size and we watched a few of the videos. The upper bedroom was a decent size, even for our tall children. The stairs are....interesting, but not a problem. From your description I was concerned that being so close to the amenities, the cottage would be on a busy road but far from it, we fed ourselves from the fish and chip shop, pizza grill and the Indian restaurant. We will definitely consider Suffolk for future holidays and the cottage will be on our list of potential places to stay. The McCarthy Family

We had a very nice stay. The cottage is very nice, had everything that we required. The parking was very tight but didn't spoil our stay. Many thanks. Michael & Lindsey, Northamptonshire

We both had a very enjoyable week at this lovely accommodation. The location is ideal for exploring Suffolk and its attractions and perfect for Framlingham itself and its castle. We can’t find anything to critise apart from the mixed weather – can you arrange something better for us next time please! Parking the Fiat Punto wasn't a problem. Many thanks. Craig Whitby & Marie Thomas, Nottingham

A lovely place to stay, comfortable with excellent facilities. The welcome pack was a lovely gesture and the information leaflets a good & useful idea. We would love to return. Thank you so much. Chris, Derek, Jonathan & Joe, Berkshire

Good value and well thought out! The welcome pack and information was excellent. It's a lovely place. The big drawback is the car parking. We've got a Xantia and I gave up and parked in the free Town Car Park and took the chance. I think potential holiday makers should be warned if they are coming in anything bigger than a SMART car. If I was going to be picky on such an excellent house I'd put some cushions on the sofas. On the whole though lovely facilities and clean. Philip, Tom & Henry, Cheshire

Note: Extra cushions now added to the sofas. Confirmations now include details on the small parking space.

We enjoyed our first visit to Suffolk and our stay at Vyces Road but the week was just not long enough to visit the places that we hoped to visit. Just a couple of suggestions that your guests might appreciate;

Coat hooks in kitchen or rear lobby as guests don't have anywhere to hang wet coats.

Large wall mirror in bedroom for dressing. We wish you every success for your future lettings!

Keith, June & John, Banbury Oxfordshire

Note: Coat hooks and long mirror now installed.

Lovely little town house, well equipped and tastefully decorated, also comfortable and clean. Carol says her stay would have been enhanced by the use of a full length mirror in the bedroom. Cottage ideally positioned to explore Suffolk with Framlingham castle a highlight right on the doorstep. Other highlights include:

Southwold

Felixstowe (surprisingly clean town)

Aldeburgh

The wonderful Kings Head pub at Laxfield; great beer, great food, lovely gardens.

Now in need of another holiday due to all the walking we have done all in weather which was perfect all week. GREAT! Jeff & Carol Fordham, Swindon, Wilts

Note: We have now installed a full length mirror

Lovely holiday, blessed with good weather & clean, spacious accommodation and facilities. Parking? Enough said but problem would be resolved by removal of greenery on the walls adjacent to the driveway. Lovely town, a piece of old England and hence very enjoyable together with the surrounding areas. Thank you most sincerely.Lorna & Gordon, Essex

We had a lovely week everything great car fitted in like a glove. One hook on right hand side of units kept falling off. Thank you very much for the food parcel it came in very handy. Dot and Trevor, Isle of Wight

Note: Hook fixed!

We have had a fantastic time here in Suffolk. The weather has been gorgeous this week and the house has been perfect to use as a base, besides being very well equipped with everything we could possibly need. A Must
All in all this week couldn’t have been better and we will recommend a stay at no.6 Vyces Road to friends and family. Thanks for the welcome pack it was a nice touch. Kay and Steve, Wigan

A fabulous cottage a perfect home-from home! I don’t cook on holiday but if I did I wouldn’t be short of anything except the ingredients. The food around here is perfect. We spent a lot of time in the White Horse next door, their food is great and Sean the barman is a sweetie. You must visit the Ice cream van who parks outside the Saxtead Green Post Mill for the best Ice Cream ever. Thanks for the basket. We will strongly recommend. Gwyn & Christina, Halifax

A long trip but worth it for a nice well-equipped cottage and interesting area. Excellent food from local shops (try Earl Soham brewery) and superb meal in “off the square” – not cheap though. Roger & TJ, Pembroke

We found the cottage to be absolutely ideal for our holiday. It is a really nice cottage with no hint of chintz or floweriness. We loved both the staircases, both funky and unusual. Framlingham is a nice market town with lots to see as long as you can get your head around half day closing at 4pm Saturday and lunch ending at 2pm (yes we are complete townies). This is the first time we have been to Suffolk, but we would definitely come back, that said our favourite place was Norwich! Mark and Claire, Cheshire

We have really enjoyed our week here. Lovely cottage, fully equipped but a nice mirror over the fireplace would enhance the room with probably glass coals in the grate and mantle clock. The kitchen fireplace would look nice with a floral arrangement or similar, apart from that very tastefully furnished and decorated. Welcome hamper was appreciated, a very nice gesture. Our daughter loved the top bedroom and views, stairs are very different! Lovely area all round, lots to see. Aldeburgh fish bar recommended, also the White Horse down the road. Windmill also at Saxstead. Managed to park Nissan Micra OK in space. Best wishes from 3 satisfied guests. Mike, Maureen and Cindy, Birmingham

Note: Mirror added over fireplace, kitchen fireplace now homes recycling bins (sorry!)


We endorse all previous positive comments. Very enjoyable relaxing week. Superb area to exploit, with a lot less traffic. Locals very friendly and helpful. Must visit the Dolphin for fish and chips at Aldeburgh. This is a Mecca if you enjoy your fish as mentioned by Rick Stein. Good food especially the Calvary at the windmill, Saxstead. Thanks for the goodies. Richard and Jean, Southend-on-sea

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the welcome pack. As advised the parking was rather snug as was the driveway. Cottage well equipped. Coat hooks on bedroom and bathroom does would be great. Continue to love Suffolk for its scenery and the friendly folk. One of England’s finest counties. P.S. Indian restaurant was great. Deborah & Ralph, Surrey

Note: Over-door hooks added to bathroom door

Very well equipped cottage. Weather was not so kind so appreciated the warmth. Welcome pack was a nice touch. Parking the car was easy unparking varied from nightmare to impossible. Next time will park elsewhere. Thanks enjoyed our stay. Rita & James, Lincolnshire
