Pantiles is a charming cottage in Suffolk, praised for its warmth, cosiness, and beautiful grounds. Guests have enjoyed the property's amenities, including a notable bath in the main bedroom, and found it to be a comfortable and clean retreat. While some found the location ideal for quiet relaxation and visiting nearby areas, others noted limitations for dog walking and proximity to dangerous roads. The property's suitability for events like weddings was both a highlight and a concern depending on the timing of the stay.
The property is consistently described as very clean and well-maintained, with guests expressing satisfaction with the cleanliness of the cottage.
The location receives mixed reviews. While some guests appreciate the quiet and central location for visiting friends and exploring Suffolk, others express concerns about the proximity to dangerous roads and the lack of nearby walking paths for dogs.
Guests generally find the property comfortable, with special mentions of a warm atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, one review mentioned an uncomfortably small second bedroom, which slightly lowers the score.
The facilities are well-regarded, particularly the bath and patio, but some guests were dissatisfied with the lack of a proper dining setup and restrictions on garden use for those with dogs.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
Indulge in a restful retreat at this beautifully decorated barn conversion. Enjoying spectacular rural vistas, gorgeous historic features and a sunny patio where you can wine and dine to your heart’s content, it’s ideal for couples, friends or small families wishing to explore the natural beauty of Suffolk’s coast and countryside.
Pale and neutral colours used throughout give this former farm building a dreamy feeling, and they contrast beautifully with rugged timber, tile and brick. The open-plan living space is pretty and inviting, and you can stretch out on the sofa while reading, listening to music, watching the TV or simply doing nothing. The U-shaped kitchen has all the equipment a cook could want, and you’ll dine at the breakfast bar which is illuminated by gorgeous pendant lights. There’s also desk space for anyone who has to keep up with admin. The shower room and bedrooms are on the ground floor, too – a delightful single room with a pitched ceiling and beautiful brass bed, and a wow-factor king-size which boasts a sofa, mirrored screen, French-style armoire and a free-standing bath. Relax in the sun on the south-facing patio, enjoying a coffee or a sundowner, or even taking a meal outside to enjoy as the sun sets.
Pantiles is part of a complex of barns including Bobby's barn, Dove Barn and Marsh Farmhouse.
From this idyllic rural area you can reach the charming town of Beccles in just 5 miles, where quirky independent shops mingle with excellent places to eat and drink. Feeling adventurous? Head to the coast at Covehithe, where the secluded beach is only accessible by foot or by bike. Southwold, 10 miles away, couldn’t be more different – fun, vibrant and buzzing, it’s a great day out, whether you want to partake in the amusements on the pier, try some local seafood or take a tour of its famous brewery.

Our weekend getaway was amazing just what was needed. In the middle of nowhere, there were others around but couldn't hear them. The field was a added bonus for our dog to run round. Definitely would come back, I loved the bath.

Pantiles is a lovely cottage, spacious and tastefully furnished. The beds are very comfortable. The property is surrounded by fields. Groceries can be purchased in Beccles. There are no pubs in walking distance but several a short drive away. It is a little remote but ideal if you want peace and quiet. Just don‘t go there New Year‘s eve if you want to sleep.

It was lovely and warm, not cold at all. However we went during half term so it was quite busy with children. If you want a quiet stay choose a different time of year.
