  This cottage is set in the owners beautiful garden and is surrounded by gorgeous plants. The stunning riverside views can be seen when you reach the bottom of the garden. The garden is definitely the highlight of this cottage and is what gives it its 4 star rating. There is access to a boat, however it is a little on the small side but would be good for one small adult or a child. The cottage itself contains the basics needed for your stay and has a view of the owners beautiful and well maintained flowerbed and lawn. The garden is large and is a full time job for the owners who can be seen working in the garden around the property every day. A great place to stay if you are a fan of horticulture. There are plenty of places of interest away from the cottage to explore.

  We had a lovely, quiet, peaceful and cosy stay in Lodge Farm Barn. The property is very well appointed and spacious with wonderful modern touches like underfloor heating and excellent, fast broadband - a must for us as we were working on some days, with both of us doing video calls at the same time. We also streamed several films on our ipad and the wifi coped with all of that perfectly. The welcome pack, including local juice and jam from the from the farm was a lovely touch and it was nice to find things like washing up liquid, hand soap, loo & kitchen roll provided. We could not get over how quiet and peaceful it was all around and the sunsets from the garden were a real treat! We would not hesitate to book this property again.

  The smoke alarm in the kitchen went off about 10 times in our stay.

  It is located right above the oven and cooking area. Everything set it off - toast, opening the oven door at all. It needs to be moved. It put us off cooking. The water was not hot enough for a shower or bath. It was only by accident that the owner had to come around due to a leak and told us to turn on the immersion . It was then hot enough but that was 2 days in. This should be an instruction in the manual. Last thing - you need somewhere to have coats and put boots etc. walking is a natural pass time in Suffolk. Maybe in the kitchen where there is space Otherwise a lovely cottage, very nicely done. The smoke alarm would put be off coming back though which is a shame Thanks

  The cottage is in a lovely location, which we appreciated very much. One of our party is an avid walker and she loved the clearly marked and well kept footpaths in the area. The proximity to Orford was excellent. The shops there provided all of our needs, with good cafes, restaurants and pubs too. The cottage itself is comfortable, bright and airy. The garden was used daily as the weather was generally very kind to us. All in all, a great place to stay. Forgot to say that the owners were lovely and left a very useful welcome pack.

  Akenfield Cottage is spacious, light and airy and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you needed and we enjoyed the open plan living. Location was superb and the gardens an absolute delight. Star gazing was wonderful as the night sky is so dark and an abundance of wildlife which we loved. Deer, rabbits, owls, woodpeckers. The cottage has many lovely places to visit within a short drive and for shopping there’s the lovely Friday Street farm shop, Snape Maltings and a Waitrose in Saxmundon. I’d love to stay here again.
