  We had a lovely week at Grange Barn.

  Peter and Julie made sure that we had everything we needed. The barn is immaculate and in my view the photos don’t do it justice. It has been restored to a high standard throughout with oak doors, floors and beautiful beams. The barn is well equipped with everything you need. The courtyard garden is very peaceful and is a real sun trap which we used at breakfast, mid afternoon and for a barbecue one evening. The bed was large and very comfortable and the bath in the bedroom whilst watching television was great. As we were on holiday with our dog we planned lots of walks - highlights were Thetford Forest, Southwold and some circular walks downloaded from the Suffolk council website which were well described with an ordnance survey extract. Thank you for letting us stay in your barn. Hopefully we will return soon.

  Very comfortable cottage, but needing a bit more care on basic items.

  Exterior light does not work, due to broken switch in hall. Lighting in sitting room poor. Light bulbs either side of tv too glaring and bright. Need to be replaced with soft white bulbs. Lights above sofa stuck on dim as dimmer switch does not work. Kitchen very well equipped, but a colander and a pair of kitchen scissors would help. Lovely comfortable sofa and gorgeous bed. Slept so well. Thank you. Best vacuum cleaner we have ever encountered in a holiday let. We appreciate that it's early in the season, but when we sat outside, the impression was of a lack of attention to the exterior area. Not a pleasant place to sit. It just looked unkempt. All this sounds very critical, but it's a lovely cottage, and could be so much better if more attention was paid to the little things.

  Lovely cottage, but not quite right for us.

  Ample parking is a bonus in Dunwich, and the cottage, although small, is comfortable and well equipped. Location couldn't be better. We had 2 major issues, which may not be a problem for other renters. The listing details do not make it clear that the small bedroom is accessed through the large one, and that all the facilities for storing clothes are in the small bedroom: in effect this is a one bedroom cottage. It is challenging for people with mobility difficulties, as the stiff gate and 2 steps from the parking area to the garden are difficult to negotiate, and the shower is impossible for less mobile people to use. I would happily return to the cottage again by myself or with a partner, but it was not an easy stay for my friend, who has mobility difficulties.

  We booked the cottage after viewing the photos and reading the reviews.

  There were two of us plus our spaniel. The cottage was very clean and comfortable (the super king size bed especially). The owner had left us some hot cross buns, cake, milk and a bottle of fizz which was very generous. However, the photos and description indicate that we had access to the rear garden, but there were ‘Private’ signs on the main and side gate which prevented access. Fortunately there is an enclosed garden at the front of the property so the dog did have somewhere. Dogs are not allowed on the sofa or in the bedrooms which is not mentioned in the description. The location is perfect with a dog friendly beach (and cafe) a 10min walk, and a pub 5mins away. A great base for exploring the Suffolk coast.

  Lovely location and plenty to see all around.

  I had already phoned sykes about how the back garden would work for us with our dog and was assured that it would be ok. There is a large fenced area at the back when we arrived it was nothing like the pictures shown. On pictures it was a large lawn. in reality it is unsightly full of dead weeds and brambles and nettles and broken fencing and PRIVATE. this is NOt how it was described. Although the property was clean it is shabby and needs repainting in a few places. The fridge is small with a ice box which was totally iced up and not practical for a RURAL self catering property. Shame really I wouldn"t reccomend it to freinds even though it is in a lovely setting.
